That logo looks absolutely gorgeous as a patch!
-
We're also seeing a lot more variety among the type of logo placed on the waist band. We have 19 secondary/partial logos, which have traditionally gone here (Hawks, Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Mavericks, Nuggets, Warriors, Rockets, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Knicks, Sixers, Suns, Kings, Raptors, Jazz, & Wizards). But we've seen 2 primary logos (Pistons & Lakers) and 4 wordmarks (Cavs, Thunder, Magic, & Blazers), as well as a very non-traditional move by the Bulls (Chicago flag stars).
-
Tops only. No shorts. That's why I listed them (and the Pelicans) as partial unveilings.
-
Quick recap Official unveilings remaining: 6 (Hawks, Warriors, Lakers [partial] Heat, Pelicans [partial], Raptors) Waist band logos: 26 with, 2 without (Timberwolves & Spurs), and 2 unknown (Heat & Pelicans) Sponsor patches: 13 (Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Cavs, Nuggets, Pistons, Bucks, Timberwolves, Magic, Sixers, Kings, Raptors, & Jazz)

True, but I wanted to call out the "official unveilings" when we get to see tops and shorts to both Association and Icon.

Objectively, I like the originality of the uniform design. The color palette is great too. Subjectively, the Wolves left a disappointing amount of creativity on the table (more emphasis on green, incorporation of tree pattern, use of belt logo, etc.).
-
I think this is a downgrade. Collar and armhole trim widened, which looks worse IMO. Also, the collar color change on the back is unnecessary and disruptive.
-
I actually think the Jazz look as good now (2016-17) as they've ever looked.
-
That side piping looks incomplete and just awful
-
Mavs' garbage bags
-
Odd that the wordmark is mentioned in the Icon description but not the Association.
-
Hornets removed same-color ("tonal") wordmarks on bottom right side of Association shorts.
-
They're still bad, but it reduces the sting to see some willingness to work with the teams' color palette so the ads are less visually assaulting.
-
The piping on the side is now slanting backwards (probably to accommodate the new cut in the shorts) instead of completely vertical as before.
-
Another local sponsor. Now 8/10 announced sponsors are local (Fitbit for the Wolves and Stubhub for the Sixers are not local).

No-shoe photo shoot?

I decided to rank my favorite NBA uniforms sets ever. I ranked these based on personal preference, aesthetic, and uniqueness. The set is intended to include the home, road, and alternate uniforms (terms nearly obsolete now). 1. Orlando Magic 1997-98 (home, road, alternate) 2. Orlando Magic 2002-03 (home, road) 3. Utah Jazz 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) 4. Toronto Raptors 2005-06 (home, road, alternate) 5. New Orleans Hornets 2012-13 (home, road, alternate) 6. Minnesota Timberwolves 2007-08 (home, road, alternate) 7. Seattle Sonics 1994-95 (home, road) 8. Washington Wizards 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) 9. Milwaukee Bucks 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) 10. Atlanta Hawks 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) Honorable mentions (in order): Orlando Magic 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) Denver Nuggets 1992-93 (home, road) Brooklyn Nets 2016-17 (home, road, alternate) Charlotte Bobcats 2011-12 (home, road) Seattle Sonics 2007-08 (home, road, alternate) Philadelphia 76ers 2005-06 (home, road, alternate) Utah Jazz 2003-04 (home, road, alternate) bold = current set

Makes use of the 2 LA teams' colors as the 4 borders of the rectangle.
-
Looks like they have raised numbers and chest lettering. No alternate.
-
I love your Hawks concepts! I think the Thunder unis are pretty good too. I really like your Clippers primary logo. I'm concerned your Clippers secondary logo is too similar to the Pelicans' secondary.
-
YES! I'm glad somebody cares enough about the visual identity to clean it up. I love the Jazz's look (slightly biased), but the minor imperfections bothered me.
-
Pelicans getting a new court? Per Zach Lowe at Grantland
-
This looks amazing! Very nice work. The Kings had to go and straighten out their crown secondary and mess this up for you.
