I like that OKC wordmark -- but is that black and not navy?    If black:  why not go with navy? 

 

Especially with the accents on the shorts being navy (in that pic)....

What would everyone here think of the logo on the waistband as the next primary logo? I like it much better without the navy/back fill and outline seen across the chest. The native patterns around 'OKC' would make for an incredibly unique and instantly recognizable logo amongst all of the circular logos in the NBA.

I had been working on a native-themed concept 2 or 3 years ago (see spoiler below), so I'm thrilled to see the team moving in this direction. It makes too much sense. Might need to update my concept using that waistband logo. 

 

Spoiler

I pulled the blue from the Oklahoma flag, and went with an electric yellow and dark gray to mimic storm clouds with lightning and rain. I liked the idea of using stormy colors over the current sunset colors.

It so much better than last year "City" and if they want to do a rebranding this could be a good base (unpopular opinion: I actually like their current uniforms). Blue color is probalby the same like nike using on N7 uniforms.

 

I only wonder when nike will run out of ideas with "City" uniforms with this one year cycle.

I really love that OKC uniform.  They could really embrace that design aspect and run with it.  it's a good way to honor the Native American Tribes in the area and they can still keep the Thunder name as well.  I really hope this is testing the waters for a rebrand down the road. 

 

My only issue from what I've seen is the lack of any sort of design on the arms and neck.  They could easily put the waistband design on there and I think they'd really be onto something.

I like this, you just don't need the feathers on the primary and the thunder script on home & home alt

Came across this today. Anyone else see this? Photoshop or real deal?

Not much unfortunately at this point. 

 

The Rockets City set is the same colour as last seasons AS Roma home kit. 

 

Lakers set is purple. Bucks yellow with green. Hornets is white. 

 

Also there will be matching warm ups with every City set which is a neat touch this season. 

 

those sound terrible. i never thought i'd say this, but nike has given me jersey fatigue.. yearly new uniforms (+ the dumb names for each uniform and sneak free for all) that are not tied to a team's identity/history is head-spinning.

Are the Wizards removing the "dc" from the front of the shorts?    On Fanatics.com:

Chinese characters. Looks like the Yao branding lives on.

 

But Wine & Gold for the Rockets City Uniforms? Was this part of a failed plan to lure Lebron?

This looks like a can of Arizona Iced Tea come to life.

 

In other words, the perfect sweater for a hipster.

The uniform selection in NBA 2K19 is incredible. Alot of gems and rarities that I wasn't expecting.

 

 

And they STILL can't get the Run-TMC era Warriors number font right.

Not saved. Just temporarely fixed until the Thunder go back to their regular garbage.

Didnt the league have everything digitized in the early-1990s? It can’t be that hard to trace the font from examples on auction websites/the Warriors’ personal archives (I think they have some).
