The 6 does not have the same issue. The 6 is a different design than the 9. The 9's hole is more circular 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eRay 362 Posted October 5, 2017 Sometimes the 6 has the more circular holes. My guess is that they just flipped a 9 around sometimes. It's not just Nike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The jerseys are great, don't get me wrong but they are just a huge step down from the creativity seen in the Sunburst jerseys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look things up better on a PC so I won't look for it right now, but a few years back Paul Lukas posted on one of his NBA previews the fonts for all the teams and the official Lakers font has the 6 look "normal" and the 9 look "holey." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks awful. They might as well completely change the look. I agree. The side panel piping is supposed to be a continuous loop around the armhole so to add sleeve trim and a truncated panel piping just leaves the complete uniform looking messy. This template is way due for an update. I dont know why it wasnt updated with the Nike rollout rather than just bastardized 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The devil is in the details and the number outline and silver stripe legitimately ruin one of the best uniforms in the league. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadojoker 1,721 Posted October 6, 2017 We got a full new page and it is ABSOLUTELY nothing new but ramble jargon on the size of a hole and the weak ass Blazers "update".. Man you guys sure know how to get me worked up for nothing. Ps. The ref unis are nice and Wizards warmups is are cold blooded!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, so the Lakers moved to the big-holed 9 either in 2011-12 or perhaps as early as the 2009-10 season. There were no players wearing 9, 19, 29, etc. in 2009-10, but Sun Yue wore number 9 in the 2008-09 season and the number 9 looked normal back then. Matt Barnes press conference jersey in 2010 looked normal but not sure if he began wearing the big holed 9 in 2010-11 or 2011-12. Here's the font guide from Paul Lukas ESPN preview article in December 2011: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

upperV03 7,582 Posted October 6, 2017 Has anybody noticed that all the teams have been wearing white socks and accessories during the preseason so far? I wonder if that’s a Nike mandated thing, as they wanna “debut” the more team-specific sock and accessory colors during the regular season. If that’s the case, it seems like they’d at least let teams wear black socks and accessories for now as well, but I’ve only seen teams wearing white so far. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may be right on the team color accessories, as I've been wondering the same thing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MBurmy 1,138 Posted October 6, 2017 Sorry if this was addressed earlier...but I notice the Pistons' new court has no "Little Caesars Arena" logos or markings on it...I thought the NBA had a rule which said that all courts had to have the arena's name on it at some point (the Sixers creatively got around this rule, while the Pistons seem to be ignoring it entirely). Could someone please clarify whether or not it even is a rule? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could someone please clarify whether or not it even is a rule? I don't know for sure but I highly doubt it's a rule. If anything, the sponsors probably pay extra to have their name on the court. The Pistons court does have corporate branding courtesy of Tom Gores' Platinum Equity. How did the Sixers "creatively get around" the rule? Their court clearly says Wells Fargo Center. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
