I think a lot of this comes down to that it's the Lakers. Nike was likely much more restrained than usual. Teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls have probably achieved a certain level of "untouchability" that even Nike won't cross. I dunno. Maybe Nike will go crazier next year and this is just a stopgap or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The Bulls do have untouchability and Nike crossed it anyway: the single-layer NOBs, especially black on white, look cheap as hell. Why wear anything other than what Michael wore? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 These are serif in black or white. Those are sans-serif in red or white. If they went back to that, it'd be understandable, though they should still stick with the second three-peat, the superior of the three-peats. This is a downgrade. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming black makes a uniform “modern” has as much merit as a fifteen year old assuming their short story is “mature” because everyone says the f-word all the time.

Pengin. Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 did the lakers wear their whites more than their purples? I’m surprised they went that direction with their purples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joekono Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It just get worse and worse. Probably for another thread but off the top of my head, I think the 80's had the best overall NBA sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliott Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 ^ So the shade of yellow/gold hasn't really been fixed? im confused--originally thought from earlier in the thread that they fixed that issue. just hoping that it's not the same too-bright yellow shade as last season. has anyone seen the white shorts? Searched through a lot of photos online and have not been able to locate a picture of the white shorts yet. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we will get some story or background on these changes. Seems like the people responsible don't want to be known right now. No, we don’t know that these are polarizing. First of all, this community is a self-selected outlier and should never be confused for general public reaction. And second of all, virtually every new unveiling brings with it strong pro and con reactions. Those almost invariably fade as the design settles in, we see it in context and in action. The new Laker uniforms may well be polarizing. That’s certainly very possible. But we still don’t know that yet. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

andrewharrington Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I don’t think Shaq ever wore that. It’s way too small.

Quillz Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Looking at the "old" purple jersey in that pic, I realized that white doesn't really contrast well on white at all. The wordmark probably would have been better if it was just gold on purple. The numbers should have just been gold, too. A gold outline doesn't contrast well against white at all.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Nike has seen how successful changing jerseys every year has been in soccer and college football, so here we are. This is just the new NBA. Adam Silver, for sure, loves it. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
