In other words, he spent decades waiting for his boss to retire so he could “unleash his innovative brand of creativity” and “free the league from the draconian identity restrictions of the 1990s.” 9 Quote 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...

Apparently this jersey or something very similar was close to existing. A quote from the original designer of the sunburst look: “I have sketches of an orange version of the jersey but the NBA freaked out. They thought fans would need sunglasses indoors! The orange jersey and a streaking Suns ball had a black eclipse type back shadow behind it and we literally were going to call the jersey the Eclipse. The Suns already had white, purple and black alternates and the NBA wanted to limit the amount of options teams had to reduce operations nightmares and trainers’ confusion at the time since we were changing so many team identities. That’s why they didn’t do them.” Here is the rest of the interview and article about the history of the sunburst uniforms. https://sports360az.com/2016/07/espo-brief-suns-sunburst-jersey-oral-history/ Both the Suns and Knicks need to bring back orange jerseys, they're the only teams capable of rocking the color as part of their normal color scheme.

Agreed. I'd add OKC as well, though their color scheme seems to give or take a color with every alt. There's bad juju or whatever, but if the Knicks tossed every jersey they sucked in they'd have nothing to wear (I know I know, they're actually good this year).

This is so beautiful and shelving it is a crime: I'm guessing a Knicks orange jersey design is already somewhat in the works, since they're basically forced to churn out some new crappy uniform each year. They went with a black jersey this year, I've gotta think that another try at an orange jersey can't be too far behind, but I don't expect it to look anything like what's pictured above. That would make too much sense and look too good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Given the Knicks have already churned out two different “statement” jerseys that felt like they were trolling somebody, I assume nothing.

pepis21 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Forgret it, Knicks are 0-8 in orange unis (0-6 in alternate and 0-2 in Christmas) so I don't think if they ever back to that color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
