Digby Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The T'Wolves neon green is legitimately hard on the eyes on certain screens. Bigger issue there though is that it looks like a high school championship game that's getting played at Staples; nobody matches their surroundings. Wish that Lakers jersey had some gold, or that they made an alt court for that uniform. I think the deluge of alt courts is a silly waste of money for the most part but I admit this shows why they're useful. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this with a huge amount of ignorance as to how the panels of the court are built and connect together...but the Lakers seemingly wouldn't need a whole new alt court for this...just a new light blue apron. 2 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

This would've looked a lot better (not perfect, mind you) if it had taken place in Minnesota. I think their homecourt would've tied the colors together nicely since navy can sometimes have more of a neutral effect. The Lakers' floor takes too much away from the match-up and makes it even more garish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Staples Center" is such an iconic name, nearly a landmark in LA, so to change the name to sosmthing as dumb as this (why not just Crypto Arena? is the .com neccessary?) is terrible. People are still gonna call it Staples, though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 They could have at least called it the Crypto Center or something, that feels much more natural than what they chose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fiesta colours only work as an accent/compliment to the black/white/grey, not as the primary focus of the uniform. These look like they took a rejected Miami Heat Vice design, then lazily slapped their main wordmark on the chest. I loved this look. The Spurs wordmark in black is the only thing I would have changed. I really loved the warmup jackets as well. I'll probably grab one as soon as they are available in January. I do think they should have had the Chaparral on the right shorts leg so it's facing forward instead of on the left. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 New Utah license plate. So pretty confident the note logo is staying around in black/white like previously stated. Probably an alt logo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 How bleak things have become that we have people pining for the days when an arena was named for a bland office supply box store. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that arena was already the soulless new box! Albeit one with better sightlines and bathrooms. Anschutz et al were smart to cut ties entirely with the old Forum, not just because of its nowheresville location but also to make "Staples Center", somehow, an iconic brand in American sports. Boston just built the new arena directly next to the old one so they don't even try to call it anything but "the Garden"; sorry to whatever bank. Not enough has been made of the funny thing that the new Clippers arena is going up across from the old Forum. Like a land swap on a 25 year delay. The Clippers wanting to be Inglewood's team is just.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found that Nets wordmark ugly, and while they did the right thing in adding the Kidd era side panel pattern, the Dr J era stripe with the stars doesn't work there in such a narrow form. All in all very meh. Should've put the aforementioned side panels on both sides, they had always been very symbolic for the Nets to me. 15 hours ago, DJT said: Good catch.

The notch wasn't present in the big logo sculpture they repainted nor in the practice court graphics that we saw. Seeing the logo in just plain black is very underwhelming, though. Would've benefitted of a yellow outline, if they're about to use it as a team color. Edited November 18, 2021 by truepg 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
