iamdaviinci Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Obviously I'll reserve final judgment until we see the actual uniforms, but here's my analysis... Good: -The colors on the Icon Edition are more exciting than simply wine and gold -The yellow collar segments on both Editions are at least angular to match the side panels -The navy jersey trim and contrast waistband on the shorts on the Icon Edition add a dimension the previous set was missing -The 'CLEVELAND' wordmark actually is arched to match the 'CAVALIERS' script Bad: -The wordmark and numeral font is still terrible -The yellow collar segments are unnecessary -The side panels are stupid and useless and unnecessary -- this set would be much better off without anything in that area than this half-hearted doodle. -'CAVALIERS' isn't long enough to justify shortening to 'CAVS' in the first place, and the new 'CAVS' wordmark isn't iconic enough to justify its use here (whereas the '80s one was) -'CLEVELAND' is too long for a belt buckle logo, especially when they have multiple other logos -The 'C' logo with the sword at the bottom of the shorts works fine on the Association Edition, but gets lost on the Icon Edition without enough contrast Most if not all of the good things aren't all that good, and most if not all of the bad things are pretty darn bad. These are mediocre at best for now, but we'll see what the actual uniforms as well as the alternates in the set end up looking like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webfooter Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The more I look at the uniform, the more I'm disliking it, especially since I keep thinking it looks too much like an Atlanta alternate. It just seems to have poorly designed side panels that seem more apt for a lower-division college team rather than a top-tier NBA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 No navy on the white jersey makes me angry. If you're going to use Navy, USE NAVY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It's just so damn bland. There's no identity here. At least with the last jersey, even if you found it boring, there were stripes that tied it together. This has nothing and doesn't seem attached to the team's past aside from colors and the name. And if they are in fact going to CAVS and dropping Cavaliers again... UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Not sure how people are saying this looks like the Hawks jersey....this looks nothing like the Atlanta Hawks jersey, unless the similarities is they are both red(ish) basketball jerseys...

Yeah, the home is completely terrible with no navy. Cavs are pulling a Suns with mismatched home/away sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shame of it is that the white jersey is much better balanced and overall more appeasing to my eye, PROVING (to me at least) that they really need to just drop it.

Lights Out Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The Cavs look pretty good, but hopefully the yellow side stripes connect from the jersey and shorts instead of terminating awkwardly on both. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red with a bright accent, modern, mostly simple, uses a shortened name, basically :censored:ty. So that's 5 things in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Not a fan of the white jersey only using Wine and Gold while the Wine jersey includes Blue..Add blue to both or ditch it and these would be much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i'm not a fan of Cavs on the white jersey. Save Cavs for the odd black jersey or another alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Now seeing the leaks, I'm not so sure of myself anymore when I said that there was only wine and gold on the homeAssociation Edition anymore, but all I can remember says there wasn't. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_Angels Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Firstly the actual logo is 10x worse than the actual jersey. What bothers me is that they use black on the logo, yet use navy on the jerseys. Choose a :censored:ing colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
