DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Lakers are in gold and Blazers are in black and it looks like what an NBA basketball game. Not sure if this was the initial uniform plan for this game, but thank god they didn't Nike it up tonight. 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...

Of all the places to find a $20 knock-off uni, Staples Center on Kobe Tribute Night is the very last pace I thought I'd see one. @Bucfan56 also left shaking his head.

Besides Wayne, only a handful of players ever wore the number, and none of them were notable. Even if the league hadn't had retired the number officially, I doubt we'd have anyone in the league wearing it (just look at the controversy when Josh Ho-Sang wanted to wear 66 for the Islanders). Hundreds of other NBA players have worn 24, including several hall of famers, so it's not like everyone who sees a basketball player wearing it immediately thinks of Kobe. I have no issue with teams taking the number out of circulation, but I wouldn't want to see a banner up anywhere except Staples Center. It's a bit embarrassing that Miami has a Michael Jordan banner hanging from their rafters. But what about 100 years from now, noon know the man by then. And we also have to hold back on the number retirement thing, in all sports. Teams will run out of numbers, that of course if sports is still being played and the world stands as we know it. Also, players born in 1999, new rule: They can wear 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just time to go to three digit numbers. So what if someone is number 137... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see in this detailed shot that the correct number thickness would reach to the edges of the underneath yellow applique. It's a shame that they didn't have a gamer or anything else lying around. A Mitchell & Ness Authentic would've worked perfect. Oh well.

Between that and the sleeves I'm not sure Nike isn't the lesser evil, even with the crazy alts and jersey schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike is much worse... 10 different uniforms for each team = GARBAGE side note: i got a few of those rev30 jerseys, the ones that came in those cardboard boxes. they had the correct mesh numbers and stuff https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/0314/21/kobe-bryant-la-lakers-adidas-rev-30_1_b37f974220b5e77b3aa826b7b88e527b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip88 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Fun fact, some of those rev30 limited Lebron jerseys had the front number placed wrong https://www.ebay.com/c/1774954694 https://www.google.com/search?biw=855&bih=435&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=3NQ1XvLaK8KWkwXXlJv4BA&q=rev+30+jersey+limited+edition+lebron&oq=rev+30+jersey+limited+edition+lebron&gs_l=img.12...0.0..11775...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz-img.0zFN7yHp88w&ved=0ahUKEwjyuJO6jrHnAhVCy6QKHVfKBk8Q4dUDCAY and some were correct, weird or what? Since there were only 500 made in each color, and you would assume they were made the same place, so very strange error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number quirk was a 1 year deal on some of the retail ones. They got it right from there on out though. If we're going off of bad material, the ripping Nikes take the cake. With a few exceptions, (Lebron sleeves, Marc Gasol, etc.) Adidas Rev 30 kept its integrity over their tenure. However, that first year of Nike was especially bad.

Atleast Nike went back and fixed the issue and since not a single Jersey has torn in the 2 1/2 seasons since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I dunno. It’s been a while since I touched any Rev30 jersey but the current Nike’s feel super cheap. One slight tug and the whole thing feels like it’s gonna rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 That picture from the Wizards game is absolutely the result of camera settings. I can promise you the 2016 Finals weren’t played under a spotlight like this picture implies. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/06/lebron-james-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-finals-fly-photo-alley-oop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
