NBA Changes 2017-18

you would expect some kind of a quality stress test when you roll out a brand new uniform for the world's biggest basketball league. pathetic

 

what is the over under for jersey tears this season? 2 in just a few weeks

[DC in Da House w/o a Doubt 3,485]

News to me, apparently this happened in the preseason too:

Another jersey has ripped. This is honestly pathetic nike.

[Old School Fool 3,759]

It's not looking good for Nike right now.

[Tracy Jordan 976]

LOL @ Nike 

[FiddySicks 10,275]

Is Nike not doing the gold trimmed ring ceremony uniforms like Adidas did? 

[keynote 434]

The Dubs' "Champions" emblazoned warm-up hoodies were pitch perfect in their obnoxiousness.  :-)  

 

I assume they were a one-off for tonight's ring ceremony, but I'd love it if they went full heel and just wore those all season.  

[BlackBolt3 1,378]

My word, that's a great looking jacket.

I agree 100%. They're gonna have the target on their backs anyways. Embrace being the champs and say bring it on

Why do the jackets say 16 and 17 rather than 15 and 17?

Because last season was the 2016/17 season... Even if the jackets did have 15 and 17 on them, as if referencing the 2015 championship and last season’s, it wouldn’t really make sense to not include the years of the franchise’s other three championships as well.

[FiddySicks 10,275]

Ahhh, ok that makes more sense. I've seen so much 15 CHAMPIONS 17 gear around here that I almost thought that was a weird, not so subtle, dig at the Cavs or something.

The really crazy thing is the play that resulted in LeBron's jersey tearing was so innocuous. If a jersey tears THAT easily, we're going to see this happening constantly.

[-Akronite- 1,204]

Those Warriors warm-ups are actually not as loud as the Opener warmups the Cavs wore last year, which are gorgeous:

It's not a flaw, it's a feature! I've been clamoring for this for years! I hate when defenders grab on my jerseys (in basketball but I guess also in football after five yards) and also hate when offensive players reach back and grab on jerseys when posting up to get ready for a ball in the paint. This will prove that players tugged and pulled jerseys and they should get warnings, technicals and ejections. Kidding not kidding.

 

Edit: do shorts tear up, too?

I'm watching the 76ers game right now and is it just me or did they take the red drop shadow off their new uniforms?

Just you.

No pics, but the Celtics uniforms looked especially green on my TV last night.

 

Also, the new Wolves set looks muddy. It's so dark and desperately needs more green.

[Old School Fool 3,759]

Suns are wearing throwbacks tonight with a Connie Hawkins memorial stripe.

Agreed...Even a green stroke around the numbers would do wonders for these new Minnesota uniforms.
