I laugh to myself when someone may hate or love a certain jersey and I say to myself "better buy it now or don't worry, it will be gone by next year".You can't turn on a game without looking at the score ticker. It has now been noted as being a joke as many stories now make fun of the league for this. When the Lakers aren't wearing yellow jerseys at home, there's a problem. We've had blue vs. blue match-ups, that's dumb. This is my biggest issue. It used to be a joke and a bit of hyperbole but now sometimes I am genuinely confused on which team is which. I was watching the Sixers play in Denver. The Nuggets were in blue with red trim. The Sixers were in white. I was dozing off and maybe I wasn't all with it then, but I only learned which team is which when there were close up shots of the players. When you can't tell the teams apart by using conventional wisdom, like white at home and color on the road, there is a bit of an identity problem.

pelicanfan Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Man the white Miami wordmark kills it for me. I would have loved to see it in pink and the numbers in white. Or keep both pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 White, black, hot pink, aqua. That's four uniforms, so congratulations, Miami, there's your new primary set. You get to wear each of them for 20 games, and whatever inferior red/black unis you want for those other two.

But this one accentuates the aqua and makes black just an accent/tertiary color. I like this uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 The Heat killed the vice jerseys prematurely ... they should have gone the Jazz route where they kept the SAME City Jersey for the past three years. They used up all and any possible color combo in that same span. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

But Utah (and San Antonio) have also taught us that the supposed rules are fungible, so maybe they'll just start rotating through them from the top again. As much of a nightmare that would be in terms of tracking eras.

I've made this same observation too, and it's one of my biggest critiques of the Nike program. They hit on these really great jerseys that instead of being one-offs should actually replace the main set. Utah is one, Miami is another, and OKC (not the terrorism memorial one) is yet another. While a lot of the City jerseys are garbage, a few of them are good enough to base an identity around. But instead they're doomed to be thrown away. It's stupid. 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...

dannykraft Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I get why everyone hates the city uniforms, it completely ruins teams identities but none of us should want them to stop doing them.

Let's take a closer look: The Rockets are too cheap to have a throwback court, but willing to have a special Chinese new year court... lol. This court is scheduled for a few home games after Jan 25. I wonder if this is will be axed after the Morey debacle. Just checked, Lockervision has been updated and now Jan 31 shows the regular Rockets court. That got axed quickly haha.

It’s a good one off uniform and definitely one of the better sets that Nike has made but, it would be a horrible idea for the Heat, who’ve been rocking such a clean design to drop it and pick up this trendy pink and blue design. It’s change for changes sake, the current set is one of the best in the league and don’t need to change at all.
