TheFallenHaveRisen Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Dallas' graffiti set would be better if the Number font matched the wordmark font, the main issue with it is they're doing the outrageous 90's except for the number & NOB, you can't halfass the aesthetic you have to commit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanfan Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 So basically all they did was change the blue key to black. Because the pinstripes are not even noticeable when watching the game. I really don’t see why they would go through all those processes of changing the court just for the key to be a different color. Change the logo/the wordmark just something more to compliment the jerseys better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all 3-4 designs the Magic have this year for their courts are just that -- interchangeable -- there's no second court.

Yes. But I believe it’s a long process because they still have to undo the court piece of by piece and put it all back together again each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I have a 55-inch OLED TV and I can't tell what the Celtics numbers are from the normal camera view.

pelicanfan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 For this game in Mexico I really would have loved to see a court using Mexico flag colors and Mexican inspired designs somewhere. Would have really pushed that marketing for them. But I get the “brandless” red and blue court for games like this. Just makes it look like the pistons are the home team in terms of colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did it bother you in this game? It's been like this in alot of arenas over the last 10-15 years. Also, that Celtics City jersey needs to just not be worn because the number font is god awful. It barely manages to be readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their uniform is bad. I really like the idea behind the uniform, I've even made concepts in the past that are similar to it, but yes, the execution is poor. The main issue is the number font they chose. It's way too thin, it's unreadable in anything other than close-ups. Some of the numbers look utterly ridiculous, like Jaylen Brown's #7: They also could have chosen a better-looking uncial font for the wordmark, but that's nowhere near as much of an issue as the number font.

The past few seasons, this Celtics city uni, and their gray statement from a few years ago, have been underwhelming for their identity as a whole. Celtics should never change.

Sixers made the right move going back to a throwback-style set. I would've preferred their road blues, but at least they looked good last night. The Boston set is "okay" to me. I mean, if I can tolerate Dallas' goofy graffiti set, I almost have to give this one a free pass, right? It's still a relatively clean uniform with the main issues being the font style and issues of legibility. Switch out the font and I think people would take less umbrage with it. But that font style, as cliché as it might be, fits the theme. I don't know. It might sound weird, but the black set actually looks better by comparison. It's nowhere close to being the worst match-up I've ever seen, but I expect better when these two teams play each other. Part of my disappointment stems from the Celtics wearing green at home, so there's a chance this would not have bothered me had the game taken place in Philly.
