2015-2016 Cleveland Cavaliers Uniforms

[TheStoicPaisano]

Bring back the Smushcalade!! I'm a bigger fan of the Kemp-era "paint brush" jerseys that preceded the black era pictured above.

I'm hoping for these:

That Cleveland.com article was a bit off. If you look at the adidas catalog, the primary road jersey is staying the same. The Cavs are getting a second wine jersey that will pair with the standard road shorts. The second wine jersey is a "Stretch" alternate, which looks to be a new category across the league next year.

What's interesting to me is that the Swingman section of the same catalog shows a navy jersey with "Cleveland" and jersey numbers in gold, no trim -- a la the standard road set. That would fit the guidelines for adidas' "Stretch" category, but it wouldn't be paired with the wine shorts. Then again, that might just be a fashion jersey that isn't used on the court.

These were pretty awesome, not gonna lie...

"Stretch" appears to be the name for Latin Nights-type jerseys. It's the same as the road jersey but with a different wordmark. So maybe Los Cavs? Or they might be expanding this to other initiatives, but in any event, the descriptions say that it would just be the road with a different wordmark of some sort.

As for the blue CLEVELAND jersey, this appears to be a misprint. The item codes for all the new jerseys are in red. The item code for the Cavs blue jersey, however, is in black, suggesting that it will be unchanged and the images in the guide of a gold "Cleveland" wordmark are incorrect.

The four new Cavs jerseys are the Stretch, the Pride (which must be sleeved), the 70s throwback and the Christmas.

I would personally like to see a modernization of the 2003-2010 set as I think that was there best look.

[bowld]

Not sure if its a mistake or not but the 2016 Adidas catalog shows the blue alt wordmark as "Cleveland" in yellow just like the road jersey. Not sure if they are changing this or not as right now the blue jersey says Cavs

[pepis21]

It's probably mistake, because it's appear only on swingman and replica pages.

[LEWJ]

The catalog lists the Cavaliers Austin Carr-era throwback in the hardwood classic section.

I'm assuming that'll be one of the alts. (I believe it was also the first throwback lebron wore in his career)

Now I'm curious as to what Lebron's number actually is.

He didn't wear these jerseys.

Agreed, but it doesn't need any modernization. It was fine as it was.

If it makes the Cavaliers and the NBA money, Cleveland will be wearing a different jersey for all 82 games next season.

Call me old-fashioned, but the game in Boston where the Celtics were forced to wear their green jerseys because the Cavs wanted to wear whatever they wanted to wear was the tipping point for me.

The constant pandering to LeBron is getting as bad as it was during the 1990's with Michael Jordan.

Is this real? I never heard about that. That's absolutely ridiculous if true.

And it's one thing to do that to the Charlotte Hornets or something, but the Boston Celtics? The 17 time NBA Champion Boston Celtics? What an insult.

I may be mistaken on where the game was played. I think it was the early March game where Cleveland was playing in their blue road jerseys and asked Boston to bring their home whites on the road trip. The Celtics did not, so we were treated to blue vs green, an eyesore of a jersey match-up. I'm just sick of Cleveland and LeBron doing whatever the hell they want and equally sick of LeBron crying to officials over every call or non-call that goes against him.

[MJWalker45]

The home team picks the uniforms, so they were in the right. Now if they waited until the last minute then they (Cleveland) were in the wrong, but if it were put out prior to Boston packing for the road it's on the Celtics. The truly hard to follow games are when Phoenix traveled to LA, prior to their latest rebrand, in orange uniforms. It can get confusing pretty quick.

They're one of 30 NBA franchises just like everybody else, no matter how many titles they won before half the people on this board were born. Teams are asked to wear white on the road all the time so the home team can wear an alt. It's not a travesty.

Read what he said. Originally the dude said the Celtics were forced to wear green at home just because of dopey LeBron. That's what I was referring to. And yes, that would be a travesty.

I'm not familiar with this game. However, I think the NBA is missing a huge opportunity by forcing teams to wear white. I think the NBA could really benfit from having and promoting color on color games. Even if a team like Boston or Sacramento wanted to wear white as one of their two colors, I think it would add a phenominal upgrade.
