NBA Changes 2020/21

That was navy - lighting has it looking black.

I know that aesthetically, black shouldn't be shoehorned into most NBA branding, but at this point, the inevitability of black has made me kind of excited for the new designs. In the NBA it almost feels like black uniforms are a right of passage or something. Obviously I don't think every uniform works (see the New York Knickerbockers), but it would be interesting to see if every team could manage a really good black alternate uniform. @eibram has some awesome retro remix concepts that are definitely worth checking out. I like the way these Knicks uniforms look.

When an NBA jersey doesn't match up with colors in their actual logo = AUTOMATIC

Not that it really matters because NBA team branding is just whatever you want it to be at any given moment, but if I were in charge of the next Grizzlies rebrand, it would 100% be based around that new city uniform. Is it the city? All of the names are confusing to me because I'm elderly now.

Id also like to add that OKC hasnt specifically worn black YET, but that'll change in roughly one month.

Thanks for that. All clear now. 

 

It'd be nice if the Pacers get Black unis in the future though.

No it wouldn’t and you should feel bad about even suggesting it.

Also something I realized not that long ago - for a while there, especially the couple years when they wore the black alternate on the road A LOT - they were kind of the NBA’s equivalent of the Diamondbacks: purple-teal/turquoise-copper heavy at home, and black-purple-copper heavy on the road. The alt was never the official road set, but it was kind of the de facto one for a time.

 

By 2004 I don't remember them wearing the purple roads at all. Those were basically the alternate, yeah.

So it look like it's gonna be a Statement jersey with red collar trim (like in their last season 'City') but without Gemini pattern.

[pelicanfan]

Was guessing they'd have a blue astronaut suit type uniform. Was not expecting that shade of blue though

[henburg]

Maybe a subtle connection to the Houston Oilers color scheme as well? I'm a bit biased, but that came to my mind way before Astronauts when looking at that mockup.

[The_Admiral]

It's not subtle!

For the Pacers, from the Flo-Jo era to the present, the navy has always photographed as more of a black. It’s really difficult to see the navy unless it’s up-close and in-person or an image is super saturated (think basketball cards). It’s the only team using navy as its primary color that has had that effect.

.....Welp.

 

 

[kimball]

Huh.

 

[tries to find something nice to say about it]

 

Meh?

[DG_ThenNowForever]

Clerks was set in New Jersey, not Cleveland.

 

I don't get it.

[VDizzle12]

Rock and roll themed based on the tag. Maybe fonts inspired by band logos? Not really anything special, but I'd like to see the whole set and inspiration before judging.

 

 

[CitizenTino]

Yeah, that first E is from The Who, the second L looks like the Beatles, and the A is definitely Nirvana.
