keynote Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 5 hours ago, PepMan33Conde said: If this is how the back of every NIKE NBA jersey will look like, I will be very disappointed. Good on them for trying to be different, but this is too much. When I first saw these, I initially thought the jersey was not fully loading. Nope it's NIKE makin' radical moves. I'd also like to share y'all other pics I snapped from the Sacramento Kings' official app. That's so odd. Why would Nike introduce a revolutionary (and potentially controversial) design element -- and *not* show it off during their official launch? And, why would the Kings' official pics *also* fail to show it? Who cares if the back looks odd -- why wouldn't Nike steer into the skid and market the heck out of the performance benefits of the Scapula Shaped motion shoulder seam (SSMSS) to the point that consumers buy into the hype and accept it? What a strange roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the process uniforms and shouldn't be touched until Embiid retires... or has career ending injury. You're right. They should definitely stay around until December.

They will probably touch more on it when they do the big reveal in fall. But Kings just wanted to jump the gun and show everyone first. Hope we see a lot more teams doing that.

Kg54mvp Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Although it is very early to judge, but so far, this move to Nike is..different. I assumed it was going to be a huge trend upwards, and it still may be...but at this point..it's just odd. We shall see, I also don't want teams to lose their identities with more uniforms. I know it's been the trend the last few years already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swoosh is on the chest and the NBA logo is on the right sleeve. Could also be a folded jersey though. With the seam beeing part of the new backshoulder. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nike logo on the right chest would be similar to a jersey. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Both swoosh and NBA logo looks rubbery/plastic like, no more embroidery? Guess they leave that to the ads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why mention it in the press release at all if they're not going to bother even showing a rendering or a sketch of it until later? And why bother showing an official pic of a new uni in the press release if they're not going to have a full gallery showing off all of the new features? And why not coordinate with the teams how to best roll this out to avoid having the Kings jump the gun (if they even view it that way)? I can't imagine Nike wanted their SSMSS to be first revealed via awkward renderings on the Kings' app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sixers, Bucks, Hawks, Nuggets and Bullets/Wizards still had their 80's looks for that season, and Cavs+Nets in their 70's look, it would have been perfect. I'd take that look today with some rebrands for the Clippers, Thunder, Raptors, Grizzlies and scrap New Orleans and bring back the 90s Sonics. That's probably my ideal NBA. I'd let the Kings get an update, but i actually really like those 90s Mitch Richmond Kings pre Webber brand. Of your short list of teams, I feel as if the Cavs had the worst uniforms. Everyone else was pretty good. Now, if the Nets had adopted their 1997-2012 look a few years earlier, it'd be even better. I could see it meshing pretty well with the rest of the league at that time. I think Washington's uniforms were fine. They could've enlarged the "Bullets" nameplate just a tad and perhaps added a red border to the home jerseys.

CitizenTino Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 12 hours ago, keynote said: I'm concerned that Nike's new off-center notch on the shorts will throw off the "W" in the Wizards' short design. Of course, if the Wizards go with their popular stars and stripes (or some other design) instead, that would render my concern moot. I was thinking the same thing about the Bulls' shorts. Either Nike is gonna have a modified version of the shorts with a centered notch, or there are going to be some teams looking really strange.

keynote Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I preferred the Bullets' italicized #s from the Bernard King/Steve Colter era over the more conventional #s used in the "Gugliotta Era": OTOH, the Bullets' wordmark is indeed cleaner without the border -- although they should've made the basketball red to give the wordmark more pop. Oddly enough, the Bullets' road unis still used a blue wordmark and #s with a white border. That was annoyingly inconsistent. But I agree that, in both instances, the word mark was too small.

Lights Out Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I see no reason why the armhole trim can't loop all the way around the back even with those weird seams. Hopefully that's just an error on the Kings' part. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've looked better if they thinned it out to match the numbering, maybe even incorporating some white space in between the lettering so it looks less like a red highlighter went over it. Other than that, I like the size of the nameplate. It looks bigger than its successor. Hopefully, that's not a byproduct of the thick red border.

suns1977 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sorry if this belongs in Concepts but since we're speculating on what Nike will look like, this is from Brian Begley (Twitter: @iambrianbegley ) I'm not a fan of the continuous usage of orange/black but I think the throwback version is the best of this set.

Think something like this, but with much tighter kerning. And yes, I do think the slanted number font they used during the Bernard King era works more consistently with the Bullets nameplate. Maybe adding a red basketball to the home version would also be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
