If everyone had their perfect classic looks and never changed it would be better for the aesthetic of the league but way worse for us design nerds. I totally see where you’re coming from - it is indeed great for us to have something to talk about, I’d go crazy if we couldn’t discuss what we love! - but that also doesn’t mean that teams should go hog wild with thier uniforms, either. Besides, just speaking personally, the list of teams from league to league that I would insist never change anything at all isn’t extremely long. For the most part I’m very open to alternate uniforms, tweaks and minor updates for most teams, and even some extensive rebrands for some teams - so long as good design principles are adhered to and there’s healthy restraint and reasoning to design choices. I do think some City Editions have accomplished that - Brooklyn comes to mind with the first Coogi set, where they kept the pattern to trim only, didnt cave into using any nicknames, and managed to present something new while maintaining a strong link to thier existing brand. Many others however have taken it way too far in my opinion, using local connection as an excuse to use completely different color schemes, fonts, city nicknames, logos, and other elements from thier existing core brand. Brooklyn showed pretty emphatically that none of these teams really had to go that far to make a great City Edition. All in all, I don’t mind stepping out of the box a little bit, so long as you don’t throw the box into the dumpster and run away from it entirely.

It is the City jersey, after all. I don’t disagree with the principle, but you gotta admit, “Oregon Trail Blazers” makes too much sense to not take a swing... 12 hours ago, shaydre1019 said: I wish the Oregon script matched a little closer (unless it's supposed to match an older version) You might be onto something, because that sign has a colorful history. It used to actually say “White Stag,” and the lettering had a little more calligraphic gesture to it, and every time the sign’s been changed, the lettering has gotten a little more clumsy, to the point where the “Portland” that’s currently on the sign looks like it could just be the Brush Script typeface with a custom N to match “Oregon.” I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Portland's got so much cool old stuff like that. Seattle just has the Space Needle and generations of old folks saying "don't ruin my views!" when it comes to building anything. 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...

kutztown Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Anyone know what the Sixers have in store for us? Assuming they'd go Iverson era unis since it's the 20th anniversary of that team, but you never know. Wasn't sure if that was confirmed or just a rumor. FWIW I love the Sixers current Blue/White set, but they've crushed it with their alternate uniforms in recent years. Wouldn't hate it if the parchment paper esque City Edition uni elements became part of their full time brand. It just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 If this is real, those are incredible jerseys. Throwing back to the "Golden Warrior" era is brilliant, my only gripe is putting Oakland on it when a) the jersey never actually had that and b) they don't play in Oakland anymore. That Miami jersey is just incredible, and I never thought I'd say that about a jersey with a gradient on it. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The Warriors jersey is nice, but isn't it too late for them to be repping Oakland? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Miami's jersey is pretty awesome, though I feel the white wordmark and number bring it down. Seems like black or black would be better. Small curiosity: The old Warriors set is described in the article as the "Greek warrior" set, but I never heard it was a Greek theme before today. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakers had Minneapolis jerseys not too long ago (probably coming back at some point). Clips did San Diego. Didn’t Memphis rep the Vancouver jerseys? Not too uncommon.

PrimalCookie Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I don't get choosing to put Oakland on the jersey when they no longer play there, but I guess they really want to keep those fans so it's understandable. Miami is just... no. Full jersey gradients always look awful, and they're giving us two for the price of one. The design on the t-shirt is far better.

CaliforniaGlowin Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 OMG that Miami gradient!!! The t-shirt and gradient jerseys could be one city and one earned? They both have gradients. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
