mgfoxx 1,152 Posted November 26, 2020 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. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wolf 5,503 Posted November 26, 2020 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pepis21 2,082 Posted November 28, 2020 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pelicanfan 1,178 Posted November 29, 2020 Was guessing they'd have a blue astronaut suit type uniform. Was not expecting that shade of blue though 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henburg 1,470 Posted November 29, 2020 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VDizzle12 1,503 Posted November 29, 2020 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenTino 624 Posted November 29, 2020 Yeah, that first E is from The Who, the second L looks like the Beatles, and the A is definitely Nirvana. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
