Their Earned was a color they already wear, but with a different wordmark using their normal font. Meh. Since their statement is already blue and I can’t see them doing 3 similar blue jerseys I’m guessing the color was white with the summer league wordmark? Maybe in blue with a white and orange outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Sixers alt with the 13-star circle on the chest, but that was put out to pasture so Nike can churn out new ones every year Yup. Sometimes it's so hard to take this league seriously, when the league won't even take itself seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 How can the name on the back of the Nets earned NOT be in Helvetica! The only flaw with it imo. They go great with their subway court too. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadojoker Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Sacramento Kings got an updated court for the rest of the regular season with black paint (Woohoo!!) Big W, cause the purple court was nauseating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like we can probably handle some extra fonts in the letters set, when each individual team has more uniforms than the entire league has NOB options.

Discrim Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So the geniuses at Nike have somehow managed to make a Celtics uniform in colors far more suited to the Bucks. Seriously, it's like that one time I floated the idea of the Cubs using powder blue and maroon, except they didn't even try to use the colors differently. We see what the Pittsburgh Heat look like and the Magic, I'm indifferent to the use of the star ball, but I love the nod to the T-Mac unis The Sixers probably could have used a thinner number font here, but solid nonethless. Portland Raiders in the house...seriously, I thought the Bad Boys Pistons were the basketball team with the Raiders fetish, not the Blazers. I might try to get my hands on that Pacers jersey. In non-news, the Thunder have another uniform that's better than their blah regular crap.

I miss the old two-color NOB font used by the Lakers (pre-1999). Heck, even the two-color NOB font post 1999 is better than what they have now (single color). Ditto with the Bulls.

They eliminated black from the logo and relegated it to a terrible alternate. The court is a nice nod back to Arco circa late 90s early 00s, but the logo is all silver and purple. Just doesn't fit.

HighCheese Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Has anyone seen this logo before? was just on theemblemsource.com and noticed a new pacers logo. Maybe I'm just late and it's already in circulation, but could this be a leak? https://www.theemblemsource.com/collections/nba-patches-eastern-teams-indiana-pacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truepg Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Kings switching to black paint is not the biggest concern to me, especially since they've been sticking to black in different instances, but I do prefer purple. I see the Blazers decided to go full monochrome with their Earned uniforms and bypassed the opportunity to have it look any interesting by wearing all-red accessories (and shoes, preferably).

Old School Fool Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Who’s the idiot that came up with the Pacers wearing yellow on the Lakers home court while the Lakers wear “ANTHRACITE GRAY”?! What are they even doing anymore with this league? Stevie Wonder would schedule better matchups than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dame actually had some influence in the design process, so I don’t think that’s too far fetched. Their press release says that it’s inspired by the Portland cityscape and overcast weather, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Dame’s Raiders fandom contributed to the greyscale palette. It’s not my favorite uniform by any means, but I found myself liking it more and more as I watched the game last night. The fact that they’re just a greyscale version of the regular white set makes them still somewhat recognizable as a Blazers uniform, and I for one thought there was kind of a fun and interesting visual effect created by the greyscale uniforms being worn on the red-heavy court.

Digby Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 For years I’ve thought the Timbers were gonna be the team to eventually roll out a monochrome grey alternate in tribute to Portland overcast.
