The time is right too with the end of the KD/Westbrook era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERRIN Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Agreed. There isn't any blatantly offensive about this set to me at all. Boring? Yeah, but considering what it's trying to emulate, there's not much more to add to it. Overall, it's a fine alternate and a decent uniform, not something you can say about most City looks.

kimball Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 12 hours ago, dont care said: It’s not about the players, it’s about the fans wanting to see teams wearing their best looks in iconic matchups and rivalries. But, do they? I mean, all of us on these boards do. But, the vast majority of fans are somewhat indifferent. These marquee games are primetime to put $$$$$ over aesthetics.

tscuzzy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The way the uniforms are spread throughout the season is baffling. Nets wore their throwback SIX times in January but won't be wearing them in all of February. Why not 3x a month?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseys are an impulse buy and HWCs are very often limited in supply and sell out early. Try finding a Durant HWC anywhere...you can't, the major stores are sold out (custom is available but usually more expensive). . https://store.nba.com/kevin-durant/a-72897950+z-846405-3322361823 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

andregunts Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 so basically every single Lakers vs Celtics game should be the same exact formula? No alternates at all? Lakers in straight yellow at home and Celtics in straight green in LA Celtics in straight white at home and Lakers in straight purple (no black side) in Boston? I went through all the different match up you guys posted and they were diverted from the same ole boring formula and mixed things up a little, but yet you people complian. Guys please get over it, we have 5 or 6 jerseys a year its 2021 and multiple courts. If you want to see the same traditional uniform match up go re-watch Lakers vs Celtics from the 1980s. Im sick of you people lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truepg Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, andregunts said: so basically every single Lakers vs Celtics game should be the same exact formula? No alternates at all? Most of the time – of course. And the whole league, not only the Lakers or Celtics. Quote Guys please get over it, we have 5 or 6 jerseys a year its 2021 and multiple courts. Uniforms are there to represent the team and its brand to be easily distinguished. Not to lead to confusion. Also, fashion jerseys are fashion jerseys, and should remain such. - As a general note, with the home-away designation totally gone and games played also color on color, the only way to know now which the home team is is the court. And that's not the very first thing you pay attention to. Distinguishing should be automatic by seeing the players, like it used to be, when you turned on a game and saw the home team playing in white (light).

It's gone beyond not knowing the home team to now knowing the teams period. I'm as plugged into the NBA as anyone, and I really shouldn't have an issue turning on a game and knowing who the teams are. That has happened multiple times this season; way more than any year previous. 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...
Digby Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have no problems with alternates, even more than one, but I think Lakers-Celtics should stick to their default looks and keep the historic throughline back to Bird/Magic and even the latter years of Russell/West. There are 400something possible matchups of NBA teams and maybe like 10 that are historic enough to shy away from alternates as a rule, it’s not exactly a big stubborn ask. Alternates are great for random February games against Minnesota, sure.

itsmb8 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The ONLY reason why people cant tell who's playing is because the scorebugs only show the team's main color. If the Bulls are in black and gold, the scorebug should be black with the gold logo. If the Lakers are in their city edition, the scorebug should be white with a blue logo. Have the scorebugs match the uniforms and everything is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
