keynote Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I knew I recognized the Raptors new number font...Rode the Toronto Transit, and there it was on the transfer:The Raptors' new font pays homage to Toronto's subway system? Is there *any* part of the Brooklyn Nets' rebrand that the Raps didn't copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were so great, I'm sure we would have already seen Nike's own version of it in college basketball. I'm actually curious to see if the sublimated back designs make it to Nike NBA jerseys.

vmd9 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I knew I recognized the Raptors new number font...Rode the Toronto Transit, and there it was on the transfer:Anyone know what the actual name of the number font is? (Pretty sure it's not "We the Numbers")Highway Gothic? I'm pretty sure it's the same font used for the US, Canada and other countries' highway and road signs.

Sodboy13 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nope, the current highway font is Clearview, and it has significant differences from the Raptors' numbers and that TTC ticket.

The_Admiral Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I HATE CLEARVIEW SO MUCH. I don't find it more legible than the old font (the lowercase l is especially distracting), and it's juuust different enough to be distracting when I see it instead of the old one. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The only issue I have with it is the "1". That serif is very ill-fitting, and it looks especially bad on route number signs. What cheeses me is how Illinois often uses the old and new fonts together on new signage.

BBTV Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The black stars should be horizonal across one of the straps, to simulate a black band.I like these stars better than the circle they started with only because the circle looked more like a logo than a tribute from any distance other than close up.

Korkie Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The Christmas jerseys are gorgeous. The Thunder look so much better in these versus their regular unis it's silly. I wish they would lighten them to their light blue color and make them their regular jerseys.

CitizenTino Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 After seeing the memorial stars on the 76ers jerseys, I'm surprised the Cavs haven't done anything on their uniforms for Hot Rod Williams. He was a popular (and very good) player on the team and played most of his career in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say that the Sixers' situation represents a failing of the team's ownership, and reveals ownership's appalling short-sightedness. Their recent hirings have undercut and undermined the visionary GM, whose programme is designed to play out over several years and was never intended to return benefits in the short term.

SJAnfield Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Christmas jerseys looked good on the court. Only thing I would have liked to see changed would be the numerals matching the font. Oh, well. Perfection is always hard to come by, and why complain? Good looking match ups all day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty clear that the NBA stepped in to stop a cornerstone franchise from clowning the NBA economic system any further.

Hinkie has an approach that can work only in the long term; the intervening bad seasons are part of the process. Hinkie's plan sure is unorthodox. But, by hiring him and empowering him to implement that plan, the team's ownership is obligated to let him see it through. Hamstringing him mid-way is a betrayal.

Hamstringing him mid-way is a betrayal.Like admiral said, this was Adam Silver calling up the owner and being all like "bro - you gotta stop this crap. Now" and Joshua Harris was all like "what you want me to do now though" and Silver be all like "just chill those *s out and wait for the wolf (colangelo) who will be coming directly" and Harris be all "Colangelo? Poop, negro - that's all you had to say!"You're right though - they should have waited until the offseason. The worst thing would be to start 1-30 and then get just better enough to cost themselves the top pick. The thing with this "process" though is that there's no end in sight. Hinki wanted a 5-7 year extension because he said at one point that's how long it could take. That makes no sense, because the guys they're picking up early on in "the process" won't be around by then. I'd give it one more season, see if they can get the guy from LSU and have him with Noel, Embiid if he can ever walk again, and Okafor if he doesn't end up with bullets in his brainless dome. Whether they get the kid or not, they simply have to switch gears after this year or the team might as well move (which honestly I think could be part of the plan anyway). These owners aren't committed to the city or team at all and also own the now-vacant prudential center. True they are building team offices in Camden NJ which would counter the speculation that they want to move to north jersey, but I wouldn't rule anything out.

TJKiddsHead Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I honestly don't understand why anybody would want to move their franchise to North Jersey again. That area didn't care about their team when they were going to back-to-back finals. Why would they ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just picture the Owners of the Sixers standing there covered in blood and brain matter while Colangelo sprays them down with a hose. I wonder if Adam Silver is going to get a new oak bedroom set out of all of this. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
