They've used same font with the Cavs before.
-
I loved the Melo era baby blue Nuggets' color scheme, but the one they have now also has some interesting colors to work with. It's that if only they distributed them differently, making a bigger emphasis on the lighter shade of blue and the maroon, like they had done on one of the Earned uniforms with the axe logo on the chest which was white, and their current blue Statement. I also liked the maroon alternate. The court is rather boring indeed.
-
After the season's been played out, the airport carpet on a jersey still feels awkward.
-
That'd be very unfortunate. Their regular wordmarks are fully disposable, but I'd keep the LAC monogram and add script wordmarks to the package instead similar to what they used to have. Losing them was a mistake in the first place. I didn't hate that treatment at all. It worked for the Kings. P.S. As a matter of fact, that exact Clippers' city map graphic creates way cheaper a look.
-
Yeah, they better ditch all the black, blackletter font and the urban court graphic nonsense. I'd rather see them predominantly in blue, though.
-
All that thousand times over, and what really annoys me on top of that is that the matchups never end up looking like you're expecting or picturing them to look like anymore when you turn on game footage. ...That, and wearing white on the road just will never make sense to me.
-
Agree, but to me they don't look optimal even with the navy unis. The bold use of vibrant color is applaudable, but I'd rather see them wear those all-yellow accessories with their white unis. The navy would look better with powder blue. Something about that dirty-ish shade of yellow is also off-putting to me.
-
You gave a good example yourself as an answer to your initial question. I would go even further and point to the color mashup "Isaac Hayes tribute" City edition from a couple seasons ago that had the same trim pattern and used the Vancouver era colors, in addition to those Grizzlies unis you already mentioned. They did a great job in achieving exactly that - reintroducing an element in a modernized, but still recognizable and I would say clearly associable way with the original. The Wizards are another good example with their regular look. The Hornets have done it too, although, with mixed success.
-
The charm of the 90s' identities lies in its own way of being "over the top", and trying to "modernize" such a look would kind of strip it of its essence. The Raptors did something along those lines with the uniforms that followed the originals, which resulted already in a different, 00s' design aesthetic. That's why creating a new "mountain identity" for the Jazz wouldn't be to replace the old one, rather than using those motifs for a new, modern, cleaner look that takes cues from the original, which is totally doable. The design that was on the Jazz prototype jersey I was talking about had already achieved that in a way, if only I could find the photo. P.S. The Wolves had kinda made a successful attempt with their last year mashup uniform, but it would've needed some further cleaning up to take it to "modern" standards.
-
Sure, but not at the expense of good design. The way the old mountains were rendered and the shape achieved by using only two shades of color and very basic shapes, was rather simple, actually, and would work as well on a cleaner modern uniform. Regarding the color scheme, as it has been gone over on here, there already are several purple teams with different supporting colors, and on top of the fact that copper and sky blue match purple really well and have already been part of the Jazz' identity that they can own, it would also be a simplified color palette compared to their 90s' package.
-
If you are referring to the mixtape design I mentioned, the one I was talking about wasn't this, it was some kind of a prototype or a Mitchell & Ness jersey that had the mountains with a modern single-color Utah wordmark from their previous identity and a simplified purple & teal color scheme.
-
Not a fan of that new style mountain jersey design. The mountain rendering looks too generic and lazy being layered like that, and there shouldn't be any black. Gimme copper and sky blue. There was a Jazz mountain jersey prototype or some mixtape-edition design circulating around that was much better than this.
-
I like the color distribution on these Dallas' uniforms (only they could've done with just one, the lighter shade of green). What I don't like is the emphasis on the 70s' aesthetics. They should've toned down on the Boogie Nights, and maybe add the green inline to the numbers instead of the wordmark. This is the right base for the actual main identity update.
-
They ended up way better than what I thought them to be going off the leaks due to the powder blue in the trim, but I really am not feeling those blue circles with the logo inside. Without them and if the wordmark had the same exact treatment as the number, it would be a really decent design. The court has a nice color combo with a really pleasant shade of light brown. The City courts are unexpectedly rather good in general this time around for the majority of the teams.
-
The Nets looked beautiful last night against the Wizards with the red compression pants too. Surprised no one had mentioned it here. Also nice to see KD play in a proper design.
-
That whole bunch of City uniforms is so meh, as said, indeed, that would improve the quality of the league's uniforms simply by not existing. Those Bucks' shorts are just gorgeous, though. And I can't help thinking that those Bulls shorts would look even better with gold (à la Cavs) used additionally
-
Surprised to see this logo being longed for on these boards all of a sudden, since at the time it was very hated, especially at this recolored stage. I can see where you're coming from regarding it having that particular "something", but to me it's nothing to warrant having it brought back, since the current Wizards identity is so flat-out solid – well, it was until their primary logo was bastardized with the addition of the circle and stars around it.
-
Didn't expect to like those unis as much as I do, they're all-around solid.
-
They should've stopped before touching the fonts and kept their regular wordmark and numbers, and this would've been a decent controlled design. Now it looks more whimsical and all over the place than its 90s' counterpart, and that's saying a lot. EDIT: Or used a more streamlined font of that style for the wordmark. Is that really the same font that's used for the numbers??
-
At least the multiple color key issue without having the college lines was solved
-
The removal of college lines felt weird to me at first, but then I got used to it rather rapidly, and now they look very superfluous, which they really are, even though they allow for inclusion of secondary colors.
-
Was about to come say the same. I wasn't supposed to like this new Jazz identity, but I really do. The yellow uni included. They did a good job. Kudos. Even the note logo, which I didn't care about at all, strikes really differently well in this identity. A lot also has to do with the fact that the previous identity with all its variations was very trivial with the logos and the color palette. The Cavs' unis are the worse ones compared, it's just a plain blank set with logos slapped on, apart from the black one which stands its ground somewhat thanks to the use of three colors.
-
And for some reason doesn't require it of the Heat...
-
I really miss the bronze-colored inisde of the paint for the Wizards there.
-
That Celtics' Bill Russel City uniform looks the least Celtics – or, nothing like, to be more precise – that I recall seeing, on top of having the Bucks' colors. Even the "Irish pub" unis were Celtics' green (or close to it). Nothing wrong with it per se, nothing great about it either, though. It's a black Celtics' block-style wordmark and numbers outlined in gold away from nailing the look.
