I've heard people say this, but it'll take several lifetimes before it actually happens. The Yankees & Celtics have retired 21 numbers, which is the most in pro sports, with most teams only retiring a handful. If teams keep the same pace up it'll take roughly another 400 years before any team gets close to running out of single digit numbers. And considering expansion & increased parity in sports, the rate of numbers being retired seems to have slowed down lately. It's a bridge you cross if/when you get to it, and as Ben in LA mentioned, you can always add a third digit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast Nike went back and fixed the issue and since not a single Jersey has torn in the 2 1/2 seasons since. IIRC adidas went back to stitched numbers after that fail with glued. Also nike in first season used aeroswift template and from second they go with vaporknit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 For some reason the clippers wearing blue at home surprisingly looks good on the court they have. For me at least. It's a fresh contrast from all the black and white we've seen. Wolves wearing white is okay with me here. I feel like anything outside of their baby blues or white would have been too much of a contrast (lime green) or too little of a contrast (navy) speaking of lime green, it is so out of place here on the score box there's quite literally no lime green on the unis the wolves are wearing.

CaliforniaGlowin Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Wolves wear so little lime green they might as well ditch it. They wear it...what...three games in a season? Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have did what the grizzlies did and put the word straight horizontally.

simtek34 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 A Classic Uniform matchup going on right now on TNT, Lakers-Suprs at Staples, LA in HOME Gold, and SA in ROAD Black. This is how the games should look. Either White or a Light Colored Jersey at home (Yellow, Gray, Orange) vs the Dark Uniform for the Away team. As long as White is never worn on the Road, I'm fine.

Tore Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The All-Star uniforms have gone from horrible to absolutely atrocious. San Antonio 96 and Phoenix 95 is the way to go when it comes to All-Star unis. A lot more fun and way cooler.

San Antonio and Phoenix were cool, but I like the Red vs. Blue matchups. Not a fan of the current trend of team or All-Star logo on front without a number.

Tore Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 @kimball Of the three you posted, only the uniform with James and Bryant looks decent to me. It's just so boring to me with the red and blue and black and white - they feel bereft of fun. An updated version of the ones I posted would be cool, but they would not have the same radiance though. There is not a doubt in my mind that I suffer from nostalgia bias. This years uniforms are horrid. Agree to disagree though. What are your thoughts on the 91-94 All-Star unis? They kinda work for me, might be the 90s factor though lol Deyr fé, deyja frændr, deyr sjálfr it sama; en orðstír deyr aldregi hveim er sér góðan getr.

Nike releasing 10 jerseys for each team= their materials are bad? It is, but i was talking about design wise, it's greedy to release 10 unis for each team, and makes the league look cheap and amateurish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 To me, my favorite All-Star uniforms in recent years were the ones from Toronto in 2016(?). Outside of the weird short design I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
