So if i understand this correctly, teams can choose whether they want their main home uniform to be light and dark, and then the road team has to choose a "clash" from their collection of uniforms?

We all know Nike is going to crack down on teams calling their white uniforms "home" and color "away." I can't roll my eyes harder at this.

I'm thinking that Brooklyn Nets black jersey that leaked will be the "inspired by the community" jersey

Raptors King comes through again.

Couple notes and/or questions:

 

1) Does the mention of "the traditional home white uniform which all 30 teams will have in their assortment" in the Association Edition description mean even the Lakers' version will be white instead of yellow?

 

2) The leaked Hornets throwback is evidently one of the eight Classic Edition uniforms debuting this fall, and connecting the dots the leaked Brooklyn Nets alternate should be one of the unnamed fourth Edition uniforms, correct?

 

EDIT: good call, @JerseyJosh

I was hoping Nike would eliminate the Warriors' wishbone collar and replace it with a V or a basic crewneck... It's disappointing that they reduced the amount of yellow from the collar instead. Also, it looks like they centered the numbers inside the circle... looks a bit strange.

[WSU151 9,496]

Will there be home white and road dark in "The Association Edition", or will one color be "Association" and one be "Icon"?  Are there a maximum of 8 uniforms each (two per group)?  This whole set up seems like something from a good idea fairy.  I can't wait until kids start talking about their favorite Association jersey.

But they're not even centered, really...are they?  They still seem to be on the right side of the circle.

There's still yellow trim in the Warriors' collar, just slightly less than on the Adidas jerseys.

Is that the college cut we saw last season?

I suspect most teams will continue wearing their traditional home and road uniforms most of the time, regardless of their official designations, or lack thereof.

talk about eyerolls, good lord

[TaylorMade 711]

But... teams don't have to wear white at home...

 

Quote

Beginning with the 2017-18 season, home teams are not automatically assigned to wear white uniforms, and instead will be allowed to choose which uniform they want to wear for each home game. Visiting teams will then choose a contrasting uniform from their available options.

 

[TaylorMade 711]

And throwbacks are now "Classic Editions."

 

Quote

Along with those four uniform editions, eight teams will have a “Classic Edition” available this fall, a nod to these team’s most iconic looks which they can also choose to occasionally wear.
