AAO Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 pay no mind....the white home you posted and said "authentic" is not an authentic thats the replica. But anyway i think the uniforms look alright, better thani thought. why is the little neck triangle on the home unis white? shouldve been orange or something else. no contrast. And the more i look at their secondary the more i think Mavericks logo and Timberwolves old logo. The home unis look alright, the orange aways look the best. And what is this "new unique aspect" in their uniform? the striping? or is it some type of new material...the striping is unique though, although i think it couldve been better.

sc49erfan15 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Did you guys see this article where the Knights will be wearing these jerseys during their game tonight? Holy crap, I might have to check that out.Does anybody know if the Nike Swingmans are on sale yet? If so, I want a jersey. Now. If not...I'll pass on the Reeboks 'til the Swingmans come out.

slapshot Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 They're ok. I like the little features, like a v-neck on the back, and mesh-type side panels (this must be the "invisible" ideas going around, mesh side panels for better air flow).I don't like the italic numbers with upright lettering for the names...it makes them look misaligned.Yes, the uniforms are unique, but mostly in color only.

gosioux76 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Looking at the other concepts they considered, I definitely think they picked the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 they look pretty nice...What exactly is the problem with the reebok replicas? I think it's just that they make the wordmark too small - they really look horrible.Back in the day, were replicas this bad? I don't really remember, I remember them looking ok, but I remember talk about how the magic ones didn't have the pinstripes, and so forth...the old replicas I have in my closet by champion (and logo athletic and starter football jerseys) all look good to me, but this reebok stuff just looks awful...I got a couple reebok football jerseys this year that seem ok though. except the collars are itchy...

pcgd Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Champion started making better replicas. I remember when I wore bball jerseys (this was probably 10 years ago) the two big problems I had were no pinstripes on magic, and then the sonics at the time, didn't have the stripes around the wordmark. There were a couple other things. The only things that they did were put the wordmarks on them and then the numbers. No side paneling, etc.They started doing that towards the end of when they were making them. Reebok pretty much picked up on that I believe. Will they have swingmans? Or is Reebok the exclusive provider now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 From the Bobcats website..."Additionally, kiss-cut tackle twill lettering in the team wordmarks and player numbers is lighter in weight than the layered lettering used by many other NBA teams"Anyone know what "kiss-cut" means? Is that the swingman style of lettering?Off topic, anyone notice Reebok selling swingman style nfl replicas this year? Just saw a few Eagles retailing for $99. Looked pretty nice.Edit:Also noticed this...If you look at this pic. in the slide show, it looks like Reebok is slapping their logo on everyone's butt this year.

pcgd Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 that's kinda the trend in basketball, the small logos on the butt. I don't mind it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too big on those, especially the ones with a wordmark or city/college name on the butt. They remind me of the girls' shorts with stuff written on the butt. Except those are nice.

Survival79 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I think it is interesting how different a tone of red the jersey is from the logo.The team hasnt even played a game, but theya lready have team color identity issuesHas anyone else noticed the difference between the secondary logo used on the shorts versus the secondary logo shown in print/on the web?

Champion did make a reversible jersey for the Magic that actually had the pinstripes on it. I have one. It looks quite nice, but the screen printing on the black side of mine(the other side is the blue alt.) is starting to wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 The authentics are tight as hell. Don't know about you guys, but i'm happy with em. but why do the aways look red? Oh yea and the 3rd uniform design shown in the PDA booklet is better IMO, its basically the same as the ones unveiled, but the middle insert is the same color as the uni. (the part that's orange on the home's would look better white, as in the 3rd uniform design in the booklet, and the same with the part that's white in the orange away's.) the replicas are some plop. i hate reebok replicas and dont know why the hell they make em. every single team's reebok replica sucks.
