pelicanfan 1,390 Posted November 16, 2020 The big orange stripe and thin white stripe being the center of attention just makes it look way too similar to the Clippers throwbacks. they should have figured something out with the colors or stripe size idk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d11king 259 Posted November 16, 2020 I’m speaking for myself, I don’t think there’s a single city jersey I don’t like (Boston’s is super lame) and I am very pleased with the city uniforms this year. Seems like they’re starting to get it! (Except Boston) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderCeltic 79 Posted November 16, 2020 Now sure what to think of the new Thunder edition. It's supposed to honor State Pride. I can imagine what the earned will look like. The earned can be base don either the City or Statement. Anyway here's the ones still missing and I'll take a stab at it: Denver: Yellow Rocky Mountain Fauxback of previous sets Utah: White/White Blue honoring Utah winter Minnesota: White version of previous set Houston: Carolina Blue honoring the uniforms of spacemen Memphis: None again as Classic edition replaces it Cleveland: Yellow another inspired fauxback set Indiana: Silver Honoring Market Square Arena So far this year we have OKC: Blue/Black/Orange honoring the State Pride of Oklahoma Portland: Black honoring Oregon mountain ranges Lakers: White Fauxback honoring Elgin Baylor Clippers: Black Version of "Straight Outta Compton" wanting LA to embrace the Clippers as the city's team Sacramento: Black honoring city nickname Golden State: Navy fauxback honoring 1997-2010 set saying "Oakland" Phoenix: Black honoring the Valley of Arizona with a touch of throwback 1994-2000 black alternate thrown in Dallas: White honoring 10th anniversary of title San Antone: Black Honoring 90's logo and warm up jackets and the Hemisphere Arena New Orleans: White/Blue/Red honoring city flag and Willie Nelson song "City of New Orleans" Chicago: Black honoring building details of Chicago's buildings/theaters of the 1930's Detroit: Blue this time honoring the Blue Collar ethic of Detroit Milwaukee: Blue honoring team's first sponsor Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Toronto: Black similar to last year's minus the pinstripes New York: Black honoring New York's nightlife Brooklyn: Black honoring a local Brooklyn street artist who's work is on Brooklyn Subways Boston: White honoring the banners in Boston Garden Philadelphia: Black honoring the Philadelphia neighborhoods and suburbs Miami: Crockett Blue/Pink Miami Vice and flamingo inspired Orlando: White version of last year's set honoring the orange groves of Florida Charlotte:Teal honoring first US mint branch which was in Charlotte Atlanta: Black honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Washington Gray: Honoring new President Joe Biden Some predictions on the earned colors: Lakers: Royal Blue Portland: White Houston: Red OKC: White Denver: Maroon Utah: Green Clippers: Red Dallas: Slate Gray Milwaukee: Kelly Green Orlando: Silver Miami: White Indiana: Royal Blue Toronto: Purple Boston: Green Philadelphia: White 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinsUp1214 5,728 Posted November 16, 2020 15 hours ago, The AFC South said: That story basically boils down to “it’s modern because...Oklahoma is...doing modern cool stuff.” Huh? What kind of a stretch is that? Also I really don’t know why, but I’m getting gas station branding vibes from it. Maybe it’s because it’s also got NASCAR vibes and I’ve just blended the two vibes together over time, but yeah. EDIT - Okay, not the same colors but this is what I’m getting at: 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krz 2,037 Posted November 16, 2020 Thunder is pretty close to perfect. If they had a different font and changed the black to brown it would be beautiful. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Scorcho 433 Posted November 17, 2020 I think the championship banner jersey is a great concept for a franchise like Boston. I think OKC looks pretty good with the NASCAR style. It's a totally different aesthetic to the Braves jerseys. I'll need to see Miami's on court, but I don't mind it. If it looks dull it'll look garbage. A design like that really needs to be bright. It'll probably be popular as a replica. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School Fool 4,408 Posted November 17, 2020 In really stupid news, the Nuggets arena has been renamed to Ball Arena and the Suns arena is now PHX Arena. Yes that's right, Ball Arena and PHX Arena. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Combine that with the bright colors and italicized fonts and it screams stock car design. I honestly have a hard time believing that the connection to racing was unintentional here. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A connection to racing would be strange, considering that the nearest tracks are Texas and Kansas and an Oklahoman has never won a Cup Series race. But I definitely see what you (and others) are talking about regarding its resemblance to stock car design. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that's right, Ball Arena and PHX Arena. Better than “Talking Stick Resort Arena.” Denver could have done better though, not the greatest follow-up, behind “Pepsi Center.” 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ball Arena is named after the canning jars and I can't possibly imagine a reason a canning car company needs to increase its brand awareness. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that's right, Ball Arena and PHX Arena. Thankfully PHX Arena is just a temporary name between sponsors. But, isn't Ball a canning company? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
