Digby Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Huh, so same font or close to it, but it looks radically different in this application (at least in my eyes). My biggest complaint with the core Brooklyn set is how crappy and spindly and condensed the numbers look (it's fine in the Brooklyn wordmark but the numbers look awful). So the bulked up look I think is an improvement, despite being tonal numbers and overall a silly uniform. I guess they've decided with the Basquiat Corpse-worship uniforms that they don't need two different street-art wordmarks, either. Bring back the original gray BKLYNs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 hawks jerseys looking pretty sweet (no pun intended) nets one is super meh. its got some cool details but i wish they were actually visible. like let those stars shine whats the point if you can't even see them. i also think it would have been neat if they added that little side pattern into the nets text and numbers since all you have is an outline 1 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I just noticed the Nets outline is silver not white. That could be good. Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Nets as is are way too similar to the Spurs throwbacks that were just unveiled. Gonna be a hard time identifying who’s who off a glance with those two. 3 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like the new Utah than the "classic" (lol) Nets. It't their current font but thick outline gives the optical illusion of a different font.

Ark Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It’s alright. The Suns could do way better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like one of the awkward mashup jerseys from last season. Continues the team tradition of black alternates, "PHX" alternates, gradients, and the Valley thing... but maybe isn't committing enough to any of them to be satisfying so it feels kinda middle-of-the-road out of that pack. I do think it's an improvement on the old orange one that just had the ball logo, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Not sure what it is, but I really enjoy the valley gradient on the PHX trim. I don't think it's enough to make this particular jersey good, but in the right usage a gradient trim could be really nice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Seems like it'd be better if it used SUNS instead of PHX. The weird ecliptic look (if that's the word, though somewhat crescent shaped) of the PHX isn't great. 4 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

GriffinM6 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I really like the gradient on the collar and cuffs. Honestly think it would be better if the numbers and wordmark were solid white though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part stands out for me as well -- I think partially because a hallmark of Nike NBA has been the simplest possible, single-color collar/arm trim. Like hardly any jerseys seem to have any design there unless they're old-school holdover designs that can't be altered without outcry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnclearInitial Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 These instantly become the best jerseys the Magic currently have in their set (although it seems like it’s missing a pinstripe on the front of the shorts). Huge upgrade on the previous Statement and they should make this the primary away with a matching white if they’re intent on keeping the Dwight-era logos. It was always confusing why the T-Mac jerseys had pinstripes side panels and stars on the front when the way it was done here is so much better 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I mean it's basically just the original away they had in this set before they switched it with the black, but with the added stars in the side panels, right? Still, beats what they've been doing the last few years in the Nike era. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good though, and bonus points for keeping the same jersey cut (yay consistency) across all uniforms unlike some other teams.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
