What I dont like about the mavis scheme is it looks like a car that had gotten damaged in practice and didn’t have enough time to do the whole wrap so the skipped the sides and just put the sponsor decals on.
But it’s never been a rule that alts and city uniforms weren’t allowed in the playoffs for the NBA. If it was the nfl then sure you have a point, or even nhl where they have to declare what their home and away uniforms are going to be for the playoffs and only where those. But the NBA has never had such rule.
The lakers won a championship wearing a jersey they hadn’t wore the year before. Why wouldn’t teams be able to wear what ever they want in the playoffs
David Ortiz has worn that jersey before, and I’m sure adding on to a product line that’s already in production is 10x easier that starting a new product line.
Not the first, Chase Elliot’s unveiled his Dale Jr. 2014 Daytona 500 throwback 2 weeks ago. There could have been others. This looks really good, almost like a coors silver bullet with guitar frets instead of mountains.
Why when they can just wear the base layers like they normally do. There is no need to produce an additional jersey that won’t sell as well considering they will only be worn the first month of the year and playoffs, and even then only in northern climates.
Filing for a trademark and actually using it are 2 different things. Most likely just getting ahead of the squatters Incase they do eventually end up using it.
