Yeah, I posted a shot of the jersey a few pages back. We haven’t seen the shorts, though, so would you mind posting a screenshot?

 

Other side has the team logo and that's it.

Ah alright, thanks. I was mainly just curious to see if they were keeping that little stripe block on the left side or if they were switching to a full vertical stripe on the shorts. Not surprised to see them just keep the basic shorts design the same but add in the white like on the jersey.

Really hope the ‘earned’ version of this jersey is blue and yellow and not white cause this jersey is legit dope. They could make this a primary later on

the Heat need to accept the superiority of the Vice color scheme and leave their previous branding behind, used for throwbacks when appropriate

Respectfully, no.  In my humble opinion this is a common fallacy. 

 

The Heat have an established brand and color scheme.  That brand and color scheme is strong, insomuch as Red and black with yellow is evocative of the Sun and fire in general.  In addition, they've won three titles in two different eras and were competitive in another earlier era with essentially the same look.  Recently they've developed another look that everyone appreciates and enjoys.  This is wonderful for them as a brand as they can roll out the Vice look on special occasions and not abandon their legacy, similar to Notre Dame wearing green and gold every once in a while.

 

What would happen if the Heat could magically change their uniforms to full time Vice starting tomorrow?

A. Their championship legacy would be cast aside

B. The Vice look would cease to be special

C. In very short order, they would tire of the Vice look and try something else.  Then five years would pass and they'd try something else with a new color scheme and new styling along the lines of whatever the design fad of the day happened to be.  And then after a decade, they'd consider going back to the original look for a while, but maybe with a new modern twist.  In the meantime, the Miami Heat who once had a strong brand recognition among NBA fans would've been transformed into one of those marginal teams who are always retooling their look like the Grizzlies or the Jazz or the Bucks.

There aren’t earned jerseys for this season.

Also lets talk more about these City edition uniforms. Conrad says I keep getting better on the guesses:

 

Boston Green: Red Auerbach inspired

Philadelphia White: tribute to the baseline court of the Spectrum

Toronto: Gold and Black "We The North"

New York Navy: New York Skyline theme similar to last year but modified

Washington White: White House inspired

Charlotte: White Version of Buzz City

Atlanta Black and Peach: Georgia Peach Theme

Orlando Dark Gray and Orange: Florida Orange Grove Inspired

Chicago Black and Blue: Another City Flag edition

Milwaukee: Cream colored to again honor the breweries of Milwaukee

Cleveland Navy and Gold: 50th anniversary in Cleveland

Detroit Black: Bad Boy Inspired

Indiana Royal Blue: Reggie Miller inspired

San Antonio Black: Fiesta colors

Houston White: Honoring NASA

New Orelans: White Mardi Gras

Memphis: NONE WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Denver: Gold Rainbow Fauxbacks similar to the ones worn from 2012-2017 pre NIKE

Utah: Modified Utah Mountain Range set

Portland: White honoring the Portland Hipsters/Millenials/Craft Beer crew

Minnesota: Sky Blue honoring the original Lakers

Sacramento Red: 80's style fauxback since red is one of the default colors on team accessories in 2k20

Phoenix Black: Arizona Nighttime Desert theme

Clippers White: Straight Outta Compton

 

 

Ones for sure

 

OKC Dark Gray: Oklahoma Memorial Museum and and honoring the victims of the 1995 Bombing

Lakers: Gold honoring Wilt Chamberlin

Dallas Royal and Navy Blue: Honoring Dallas neighborhood art work

Miami Crockett Blue Miami Vice

Brooklyn: White version of last years set honoring Notorious B.I.G.

Golden State Black: The Town Oakland inspired

 

 

 

lol, these city uniforms are starting to feel like second grade class project where the teacher asks all the kids to write about their families 

 

“For my project i made it gummy bear themed because my mommy’s favorite candy growing up was gummy bears” 

 

“for my project i drew a picture of a car because my grandpa was a mechanic”

thats my other issue with them introducing new statement and city jerseys all the time. teams are wasting really good jerseys because they have to replace their alternates every year. 

 

for example The Nets black coogi jersey was awesome last year. i don’t think they can ever use it again though based off the NBA’s rule of going back to retired jerseys.

I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily a rule in today’s NBA when there’s money to be had. But, I agree with the sediment.

Put together a summary of what's been confirmed to date. I'm assuming Miami and Memphis will carry over from last year. There's probably a handful of other teams or even all the remaining TBD that will likely carry over from last year.

You can add the Blazers’ updated Statement jersey to that:

The team hasn’t officially released it, but it’s on the team’s webpage and now in 2K20, so it’s definitely real.

The Jazz Statement jersey is their yellow one they've had the last couple seasons

The Pistons already confirmed that the *sigh* chrome statement uniforms were coming back this year too. The Pelicans and Jazz are also bringing back last seasons statements.

Ah lame, the one from the past few seasons is way better.

All of the ones listed TBD are not changing except for the Blazers as stated. They're all in NBA 2K20.

I disagree. The old ones badly needed some white to provide some contrast, and this updated version does just that. I just wish they went a step further and added some white to the collar and armhole trim to make it a more cohesive look overall.

Old one was pretty unique, I thought it was a fun new look. The red is fine but nothing special.

If the Celtics City jerseys were black then this matchup wouldn't make much sense-

I'm guessing the black jersey you've seen might be the statement? They're only slated to wear their statements vs white and red jerseys so far.

 

EDIT after more research- Black statement jersey from last year is available for purchase with new Celtic Kemba Walker's name & number, so I'm guessing they'll just be keeping that design.

It's possible. I will double check and inform back.
