1970? I just want to go back to 2017. (don’t like sleeves? Fine, 2012.) Well yeah, minus the sleeves, that’s what Nike is doing now. Only 9 teams had black sleeved uniforms, not 30. Of those 9, 3 already existed as unsleeved alts, not BFBS. Also, not a single sleeved jersey used a “funky font”. They all used their regular fonts, so you wouldn’t have to guess who was playing. Nike sadly doesn’t understand how to do that. You cry about others crying about funky fonts and black uniforms as if you liked them, yet apparently you do not like them either. Lmao

If Pau was too good, he could've easily asked them for a worse package like Odom or Artest or Steve Blake, whatever was equivalent to Eric Gordon lol. Then he could've killed 2 birds with one stone - help Hornets AND help Lakers by letting them have both Paul and Pau, especially since the Lakers were coming off a 2nd round sweep and really did need more help. but it seemed like he wanted to help the Hornets just as much as he didn't want to help the Lakers, so I don't think your statement that "he would trade as many stars as possible there" is true. The only big trades in the 20-year kobe era were Pau and Dwight. Let me put it this way: if your statement was true, Kobe would have 10 rings.

that he neither acts nor looks like a commissioner. For example when presenting the Finals MVP his mannerisms and speech seem so awkward since he'll have some random pauses and stutters, like he's trying to remember his next line. when we're talking about how the league's overall presentation and vibes have become weirder and changed for the worse like @ the admiral said, i feel like that's definitely relevant. The #1 pick was not part of the trade and the hornets didn’t even have the best odds. or are you referring to the conspiracy? and would making the Hornets more attractive really be more profitable than potentially 2-3 straight Lakers/Heatles finals?

eh, 2012 was still pretty normal. i think the beginning was 2014 when Silver took over. Stern would've never allowed so many ads because he actually cared about having a clean image and purity (e.g. dress code). or at least he would've fought harder unlike Silver who is a pushover. Plus Stern just has that "commissioner" and "boss" look while Silver looks like an alien. Stern would have banned Morant for a whole season at least. 2015 when they took the Finals decals off the courts was another bad change. Then another ugly change with the new Finals logos and wordmarks in 2018, along with Nike's weird *** trim on the back of the shoulders and toilet paper-durability. Plus iconic guys like Kobe, Wade, Dirk, Tim, KG all retiring while all these new stars change teams every 2 years certainly doesn't help a team's identity either. why did he veto the CP3 trade then? doesn't add up

i agree that nike is trash but i actually feel the opposite re: colors. I feel like if every team has a white jersey, then black is ok too (better than ugly grey at least), but the best choice is still to use an existing team color like hornets/teal or jazz/purple. you don't want to see celtics wearing red or spurs wearing purple, that's the main reason everyone says they take away from the brand identity. unless it is a legit reason like Chicago using blue from their flag or Warriors using red for Chinese heritage. Even with the Wizards pink jersey on Kuzma, at least i know it's a Wizards jersey because they kept the regular fonts. The same cannot be said for many of this season's, however

agreed. i wish the league would allow them to bring back those Showtime unis full-time, rather than force them to make some weird modifications. they probably can't even bring them back as Classic editions because they're already so similar. also damn, Halloween came early?

Yeah dude, I’m sure: https://www.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/16nvsvc/the_slate_night_jerseys_will_always_be_my/ https://www.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/1165v3f/whats_your_favourite_warriors_jersey_of_all_time/ https://www.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/649q0v/a_farewell_to_sleeved_arms/ https://www.reddit.com/r/basketballjerseys/comments/shef1s/my_growing_curry_collection_lol/ https://www.reddit.com/r/clevelandcavs/comments/7zfqqg/what_are_the_best_cavs_jerseys/ https://www.reddit.com/r/nbadiscussion/comments/lth45c/does_anyone_else_miss_the_adidas_uniforms/ “But but but only YOU disagree with me” Call them ugly, but claiming they aren’t iconic is a terrible take and flat out wrong, especially when you're neither a Warriors nor Cavs fan (so I guess I can’t blame you for not understanding why they were iconic ) Almost nobody here said they'd prefer nike over adidas: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/rvam7k/do_you_like_the_nbas_nike_jerseys_or_do_you/ Oh look Twitter agrees with me too: https://twitter.com/search?q=Adidas nike nba jersey&src=typed_query Even these comments are split 50-50, not 1-99 as you seem to imply: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/cdrtc9/were_the_sleeved_adidas_jerseys_the_worst_jersey/ https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2xdyml/who_likes_the_sleeved_jerseys/ no, that wasn't my only reasoning if you read the rest of my post. And no, we do have an idea, because the coloring was not banana before Nike took over, and nobody used banana before Nike. Would you like me to call it lemon yellow instead? Alrighty. either way it is NOT the correct shade

all i know is most Cavs and Warriors fans would disagree with you Yep Baylor was the last lore series. Mixtape's biggest problem was they took out their main color for no reason. Add yellow, that would have been fire. Or gold, even better

all good bro, i meant the gold sleeved. even i was surprised, i mean i think that's garbage too lol but all i'm saying is sleeved jerseys are the lesser of 2 evils

Sure but price also reflects demand. That particular jersey wasn’t even special, Steph never had any amazing moments in those. Worst case, give me that uniform over the flower, curvy San Francisco and UMich statement. They used the right colors at least

What was bad about the designs? At least teams managed to keep their identity. Spurs had camo jerseys with nike too, ditto with Pistons grey. Wizards was a fauxback. I didn’t hate any of these except for the grey ones. Last pic wasn’t a Pride and they kept that design up to 2020. Teams weren’t forced to make pride jerseys every season and they didn’t lose their identity by not using their regular colors (unless camo/military colors for Spurs and Heat or green for Knicks and Bulls St Patty's). At least Houston didn’t make those blue for example.

I don’t see anything clownish about any of these except for the gold Warriors jersey. And even that one recently sold for 800 on ebay.

i’m sorry bro but you’re just wrong on the warriors. Those jerseys are legendary lore status because of how great they performed over those 3 seasons (2014-2017) and because of what Curry did to OKC in them. there’s no way you can be a warrior fan and not like those. If you do then you are def in the minority. Agree to disagree on this. i agree the black mamba jerseys are one of the best jerseys ever but that’s because nike let Kobe design them, instead of their own incompetent designers. Hollywood nights is still better than all 6 other lakers city jerseys we’ve seen But i do agree with your point that city jerseys shouldn’t be made every year.

Nah you’re bonkers if you’re telling me you’d rather rock that heat culture jersey . Sleeved jerseys are nothing new, baseball, football, soccer all have them. When i play pickup i play in a t-shirt, not a wifebeater. So i honestly didn’t get the big deal. The ugly ones like the grey sleeved Magic, Celtics, etc were ugly to me because of the grey, not because of the sleeves. i haven’t even mentioned Nike forcing teams like the lakers, warriors and pacers to coincidentally all switch from gold to banana yellow. I guarantee if someone else takes back the rights from nike, these teams will all coincidentally switch back to gold.

Still better than what we have now and it is pretty much widely accepted in jersey collector groups that adidas jerseys were way better quality and more valuable Even if we keep the ads, at least getting rid of the other ad on the right shoulder (the nike logo) would be an improvement. I don’t see how they sucked, what flaws did they have besides sleeved jerseys, which were usually worn a limited amount of times anyways and not every team was forced to have them (unlike city jerseys)? Cavs, Hollywood Nights, Warriors slate and Chinese new year, all of those were epic and none of them would have been eyesores without sleeves. Even this is infinitely better than that ugly heat culture crap:
