Conrad. 2,887 Posted November 5, 2016 It's probably about time to start this, so I'll open it up with this pic I was shown today. That Nike logo is MASSIVE. There's a possibility that this is a prototype uni, but either way, the Nike logos will be on the tops and shorts next season (along with ads on the opposite side of the top for some teams). Not a great start for Nike here. Hopefully the rebrands they plan on spear-heading will make up for some of the other issues. Can't wait to see it all unfold! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRicSlick 844 Posted November 5, 2016 The Nike logos are huge! From the looks of it, Nike isn't forcing their wife beater template that is running rampant in the NCAA, on the NBA. That's huge, as that template is an abomination to basketball, and I can't imagine them putting hilariously long last names on those jerseys. They just need to shrink the Nike logos, and they are off to a good start. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sayahh 845 Posted November 5, 2016 About time somebody started this thread! By the way, why no StubHub patch on the blue jersey? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pepis21 2,088 Posted November 5, 2016 I'm not sure, but this nike logo looks bigger than on "FIBA" jerseys, it's also looks bigger than StubHub patch. BTW, I'm pretty sure that nike will use vapor/aeroswift template, but with standard cut not that wife beater. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School Fool 4,155 Posted November 5, 2016 Man, this looks like it's gonna be worse than I imagined it. I'm not ready for this. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyHubCaps 27 Posted November 6, 2016 On the one hand, "it could have been worse" can be said regarding uni ads. On the other hand, it's an abomination and is pure profit for the league, which in no way will pass savings onto its fans. I suppose NBA owners need more money so they can keep giving $80mil contracts to Ryan Anderson, but seriously, the NBA needs to be saved from itself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
projectjohn 496 Posted November 6, 2016 Any idea when the first style guides/merchandise catalogs for next season are released to the appropriate parties? Have to imagine the Pistons will finally be switching to the new logo next year.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_J_ 2,005 Posted November 6, 2016 The swoosh on the shorts is fine, but the jersey is way too big. Also, wish the swoosh was on the bottom of the shorts, like in soccer. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truepg 738 Posted November 7, 2016 Wasn't it supposed to be the Jumpman logo on the unis, and not the swoosh? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bushy 119 Posted November 7, 2016 Is this the first time a manufacturer will have their logo on the game worn jerseys? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm more worried about teams trying to add a anniversary patch or something else commemorative. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt 3,640 Posted November 7, 2016 I may be late to this, but are the Nike logos actually going to be on the uniforms? I imagined it was going to be like Adidas where the logos stayed off the on-court uniform. I was pumped that Nike got the NBA deal, but if the logos are going to be that big I have to admit this already feels like a bit of a let down. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rj0498 352 Posted November 7, 2016 I kind of don't mind the Nike logo on the unis as long as it doesn't wind up so huge that it just gets in the way of the quality of the uniforms 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinsUp1214 5,556 Posted November 7, 2016 That swoosh is astronomically huge. I hope that's just a prototype and that the real finished product scales it down. Nike already has a good scale set for the swoosh on college basketball uniforms, why not just run with that from the get-go? This is a perfectly acceptable size: 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
