To me, they took and changed everything that worked in that uniform. The white letters gave it the needed visual depth, and those triangles on the shorts really worked as a darker two-tone being navy. The stars are a fitting addition, I guess. Other than that, this used to be the Nuggets' best uniform of the regular rotation, now with the made tweaks it reminds me of a cheaper McDonald's All-American uniform look.

Instead of being fully black, it could've used a white inline, or, would've worked better in plain blue.
-
I think the court is great, other than being black. I found the recent use of honeycomb pattern both on the parquet and the paint and out of bounds areas, two different styles at that, a harsh stylistic and visual clash. The new uniforms not so much, though. The honeycomb really isn't the best choice to have on them, indeed.

Certainly didn't expect this new meh City of theirs to be their most interesting jersey this year... What comes to the other unveilings, the Magic found a way to incorporate the star pattern that really works. Only the collar and arm trim is BFBS, needs white elements. The Timberwolves did a great job indeed in coming up with simple but clever tweaks to the wordmark to resemble fangs and harken back to their 90s-00s' style wordmark while retaining the modern look all at the same time, however, it has too many narrow letters squeezed in there that ends up too crammed visually and busy for a chest wordmark to work. Maybe they could do a similar treatment for "Wolves" or T-Wolves" to resolve that issue. Other than that, not in love with the new "Tron" unis. The previous black "MINN" were better. And what about the Lakers? Are we finally getting rid of their purple unis with black? But... only to get it replaced by another version using black, even though slightly better in a way?... Uh, SMH.
-
Yes, this one feels like a change just for change's sake, and they downgraded at that. The collar and arm trim was their thing on these.
-
I loved the powder blue and yellow Nuggets, but the logo package they have now is the best they have had. The uniforms are just very meh, with the Statement royal blue being the nicest one, while not totally perfect either. This was an excellent uniform for the current brand and in general:
-
I don't get it how it's totally okay and the NBA teams let their players play in such meaningless extra-curricular pro-am leagues, when the international tournaments that actually bear meaning are frowned upon and approached with such caution and some players aren't even permitted to participate, like this year's Heat rookie Nikola Jovic or Juancho Hernangomez just recently while with the Wolves.
-
I'm ok with the Grizzlies' color scheme, as long as they feature yellow more prominently, like they used to do in their previous sets, and what the current primaries are lacking. Not feeling teal as a primary base color for them anymore, at least not with yellow.
-
That has always been my sentiment too. They also did it with the Jazz going from a two-colored collar to plain solid, which watered down and cheapened significantly their previous set. Didn't bother me as much with the Cavs, though, since they had much more else going on on the jerseys. Where do you see that?

Cleveland Cavaliers Reveal New Uniforms for 2022-23
truepg replied to Indigo's topic in Sports Logo News
I'll have to agree with this. P.S. Contrary to the common sentiment, I like the black set the most out of the three. There's nothing wrong with the C logo and it is beautiful with the gold, and makes that uni only more interesting of the bunch using all three colors, since they're all so overly simple. Somewhat like the Hawks' black set. The number is placed visually properly in regards to the logo, and if anything, black is the better and more fitting choice than navy to pair with the two main colors, and complements them well. -
Ditching it was the biggest mistake.
-
You already said it all right there. After seeing the beautiful photoshop concepts of the possible new uniforms, I was already ready to fully sign-off on this new direction with the uncalled for return of the ball-net logo replacing the sword, but little did I know. That being said, as a Cavs fan I've already experienced this kind of change, and the Cavs had already hit rock bottom with their unis once before, so, I'm not gonna let it affect me that much. At least we have a nice up-and-coming team, lol. On a positive note, the graphic elements used are nice along with the inline number treatment, and the color scheme with the proper gold is gorgeous and does really set them apart from the rest of the league. The number placement together with the C logo on the black jersey has also been resolved in a proper way. Only that I'd have preferred the number inline to be cropped out on the wine and black unis.
-
Good to see that the new sponsor patch might be applied in teams' colors.
-
I'm confused? You guys can't even stay on track and pay attention properly to what I've been saying. And that was literally what was suggested to me. The last thing I need to be doing is proving anything to anybody around here. The last time, though, another user demanded me to show the free font that I claimed was used on a jersey ended up being just that to his utter amazement. Even then, as I had already pinpointed and skimmed over it, it's been done on these boards already numerous times before regarding the Nets, and there's really no reason to pick anything thoroughly apart here anyways, since, as it seems, the contingent on these boards isn't mostly much affiliated with the design realms, nor that it should be. Either way, you should've already settled to disagree and moved on by now, as it was already obvious.
-
I was responding to your suggestion of coming up with one myself. The actual Nets logo is its own separate discussion. I did bring it up in another message, but I had answered that point of yours already too: What comes to the herringbone pattern – it's as useless a detail as the fainted stripes on the new Jazz' unis that isn't visible apart from a real head-on close-up inspection that doesn't make the design in general any better. So it's absurd that its being brought up in this comparison all the while the one y'all defend has the same exact issue.
-
Coming up with an appropriate professional logo requires time, effort and dedication, and I'm not up for that in case of this matter. However, some decent ideas have popped up here along the way, from someone who had taken part in the developmental design stages or just other that would be more fitting. I went through all the issues in general. Sure, we could pick apart and go through every element and detail here in specific, but that has been done already several times on here ever since the Nets introduced their logos and identity, so I'll just leave it at that for now.
-
None of those points change or affect the fact. Just says more about the people in question. The Nets logos were even brought up here just recently by another user as an example of the poor level of design in the NBA amongst the major leagues, and pop up every now and then. That being said, the proficiency level of design the NBA fields and half its teams come up with is rather questionable and not impeccably professional to a considerable extent. What can a novice say here?
-
I will be expressing any opinions I see right and suitable, and argumented, on top of that, regardless of whomever considers them "unpopular" or any other thing I could care less about on well-founded grounds or not, like you do there without giving any legitimate design arguments. Oh really? The hell.. SMH. Talking about mirrors and asking me, next time you'll know better than to take the freedom of calling out someone.
-
Simplicity and the Brooklyn look is one thing, poor quality of execution is another. The second part with embracing the purple mountains was my stance from the beginning. Everything being posted right now off point that I made.
-
You can buy whatever the heck you want or not. Hundreth time again, the conversation wasn't about how appropriate it is for Utah or the Jazz, which I've been an opponent of from the beginning, but the quality of technical execution of whatever it is they decided to go with in this case. Once again, reading comprehension, FFS.
-
It looks like the front number being that big and aligned with and tightly to the wordmark was the specific intention. The Nets' jersey elements just follow, well, the basic alignment. The Nets' amateurish approach is present everywhere in their identity starting from the details in their logos to the font selection and treatment and ending with just how lousy and lackluster the level of the graphic elements, logos and uniforms as a whole are. A team in a league at the highest professional level in the world has to hold itself to respective standards. Whatever this new Jazz identity is, at least it was executed in a professional way in terms of design principles, and it shows.
-
Never disagreed with that from the beginning.
-
I wasn't talking about looking like the Jazz in particular. You just agreed with my point. It isn't applied amateurishly, though (like the Nets brand is in general). The fact that the rebrand is outlandish wasn't part of the point I made there. You think I give a d*mn about whatever your majority thinks? I don't come here to be agreeing with the majority, I come here to express my opinion on the topic.
-
When talking just about "simple" looks, Utah still did the Brooklyn better than the Nets. Yes, the Nets have additionally a (basic ) trim, but Jazz' typography – the wordmark and the numbers – is actually rather crisp and well-designed, and the logo is still way better than what the Nets have. And black and yellow is still more interesting than black and white.
-
It might not be the first time. I recall them already using this type of court these previous years in summer league.
