eRay Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Love the new look for the Kings, but we all have minor gripes. My big two are that one uniform isn't different enough from another to seem necessary. The other problem is that the stripes at the bottom of the shorts don't go all the way around. Fix that and make the "SAC" jersey gray to separate it from the other purple jersey and you have a great set. Love the black jersey as the uni it's paying homage to is my favorite Kings look ever.

Their new colors are definitely an hommage to the current era with a few differences. They had powder blue in KC? I thought those just started with the move to Sacramento. I always saw darker blue in the old photos of Sam Lacey, Phil Ford etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motherboard images of the Kansas City Kings logo uses the same shade of blue as the original Sacremento Kings, even after the move. I thought powder blue was always there.

Ark Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The NBA sleeve jerseys would look a lot better if they were long sleeved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadojoker Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I can't believe a title was won in a sleeved uniform. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rroy0824 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 What will be interesting is that someday the Cavs will probably celebrate this championship by wearing black sleeve throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there's no trim on the sleeve cuffs or shoulders, they could probably do a sleeveless throwback and the effect would be the same. The sleeves aren't an integral part of the design (of which I'd say is the black and oversized chest logo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigbazah Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Outside of the Super Bowl (which isn't allowed anyway), a Game 7 really is the most unorthodox game for a team to wear an alternate. But like you all said... that thing now hallowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how the sleeve jerseys in Game 7 came about. We know lebron hates them so I can't imagine the cavs would force them on him in the biggest game of his career and the team's history. Could Adidas or the NBA have forced them on the cavs and they either didnt or couldn't push back? Was this one last ditch effort by adidas to sell some sleeved jerseys before Nike took over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why he hasn't tore off part of it yet. At least they seemed to fix the fitting issue in regards to shooting. I've played in sleeved jerseys before and it's fact (at least in my case) that it impacts the way your arms move in the shooting motion. Just not comfortable after being used to sleeveless. I'm happy to see there's progress with them but I still think it's ugly af. Can't believe these will now be all time jerseys. I'm sure Adidas is smiling from ear to ear today and all summer. GO NETS.

AndrewMLind Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Cleveland Browns' seamstress made some alterations to the sleeves to make them have a looser fit around the shoulders. And LeBron, being as superstitious as he is, made the team wear the jerseys again after their win in Game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabig Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 So wait a minute? LeBron actually mandated these uniforms to be worn? Shows again how much of an arrogant person he is. If he was a team player he wouldn't force his team to wear the uniform he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
