upperV03 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Since the mods are trialing a new forum policy where each significant logo/uniform change will get its own thread, and since the Blazers are set to unveil their new "Association" and "Icon" uniforms today, I figured I'd bump this thread with the teaser image the team posted yesterday, as well as the mockups that I came up with, along with the ones Conrad came up with: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I wonder if the Blazers might just use silver trim on the white uniform and their new dark gray (almost black) alternate color in place of silver on the black uniform. I went ahead and mocked that up, and I have to say I think it'd be a great way to utilize another one of their new alternate colors. And btw, I used the color codes from @ColorWerx in this mockup, so the colors should be accurate. Overall, I'd be thrilled if the new uniforms looked something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Here they are: All things considered, I'd say they're a small upgrade over the previous set. I was expecting the removal of silver from the primary uniforms, but I don't mind its continued inclusion since it only appears on the neck and armhole trim, along with the sash stripe. The new wordmarks actually look really nice on the jerseys IMO, and the updated number font works really nicely with the wordmarks. I also think they were smart to only outline the numbers since the wordmarks probably would've been muddled up a bit with red outlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 More or less of what we expected. But is does look like there will be both red and silver alternates, so silver seems to at least have a reason to stick around on the primaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Yep, looks like red and silver alternates are in the works: Contrary to the mockup in that screenshot, the black jersey has the "PORTLAND" wordmark. Here's some more shots at the new uniforms: Side by sides of the old and new uniforms: And some insight into the design process and the choices that were made: http://www.nba.com/blazers/forwardcenter/trail-blazers-unveil-new-association-and-icon-nike-jerseys-next-season That article also says that while they don't have a jersey advertiser as of now, they hope to add one before the season, or it's possible that one could be added mid season, or not at all, depending on how long it takes to find a suitable partner.

upperV03 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 More info: Here's a look at how the new uniforms look in 2K18: And here's a couple full body looks at the new uniforms on mannequins: Overall, I'm really pleased with this update. I'd say these are the best of the Nike uniforms to be released so far, granted not many have been released up to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm happy with them. Nothing too drastic but a nice, solid update. I'm really wanting to see what their "Athlete" and "Community" ones look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Blazers didn't disappoint. I'd have red outlines on the script logo but I won't lose sleep over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowld Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Love these. Why though are their images of black with Blazers wordmark and some with Portland. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland. All of the images show it with the Portland wordmark, the only thing that showed it with the Blazers wordmark was the mockup at the end of their release video.

Looks like an error on the graphics department. It'll be Blazers on the whites and Portland on the blacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I like it! It's an effective modernization/simplification of the previous uniforms. I don't like the outline inconsistency, but it's still good. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Eh, feels really lateral. New wordmarks are a plus, but mismatched text/number treatment and keeping silver on the sash is a dissapointment. They were almost there. Everything's just okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not really a big change outside the tweaked font. It's a very small downgrade IMO, but they're still pretty sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not bad, but the wordmarks should be outlined like the numbers. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very small downgrade IMO, but they're still pretty sharp. I disagree, I think they're a definite upgrade. The old italic font with the awkward outline/dropshadow was getting really dated, and the updated wordmarks and number font look really sharp IMO. 33 minutes ago, Lights Out said: Not bad, but the wordmarks should be outlined like the numbers. If anything, I would've preferred the numbers to be single-colored to match the wordmarks. I don't mind only the numbers having outlines though, mainly because I think the outlines would've muddled up the wordmarks a bit too much.
