tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I know I'm in the minority, but I loved these (mostly just the home and away): I think they should've stuck around longer, especially since they wore them during their title year (although they focused on that piece of crap black sleeved jersey). I do like the 03-10's though. 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So this means Cavs, Suns, Jazz are all getting new uniforms (association and statement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Current City uniform is a perfect base for Cavs even better than 19/20 City. BTW IIRC Cavs were talking about logos changes not uniforms. Am I right or am I wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I will never understand why they moved away from this logo. It was perfect in every single way. I'm a Lakers fan but this was probably my favorite logo in the league at the time and is still in my Top 10 all time NBA logos. I can just hear "They Reminisce Over You" playing as I stare at this logo and if you know what I'm talking about then you're really cool. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first rendition of the court with that identity, though, had everything right in every way, and I don't get why they felt the need to mess around with it so many times after, resulting in not so good and considerably weaker looks. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hopefully they'll decide on if they need their third color or not. You can't have either navy or black and choose to not include it in the main uniforms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of maximizing merchandise sales with LeBron on the roster and the Dan Gilbert getting restless after a year or two effect. I agree that the LeBron 1.0 era look and jerseys was something that should have stuck around longer than it did, although I guess I can understanding wanting to hit the reset button after “The Decision.” The endless tweaking of the 2010s, though, was not good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jerseys were not intentionally changed after LBJ left. There’s typically a 2-year process in advance. You can’t just switch up uniforms 3 months after your star player leaves. It was just convenient timing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 My unpopular opinion is that the LeBron 1.0 jerseys weren’t very good. The red and gold were a dull, washed-out palette; that chunky number font is painfully early 00s. The navy alt of those years saved the entire set. 3 1 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Looking back on the LeBron 1.0 set, I loved the white home uniform but felt the red and navy uniform had some problems. On the red uniform, the navy trim on the collar seemed really out of place and stuck out like a sore thumb (as opposed to the white uniform, where the navy numbers and side panel trim balanced the colors out right). And on the navy uniform - unpopular opinion alert - the barberpole stripes were too chunky and distracting for my tastes. I’d have much rather them kept the same template as the white and wine uniforms. I still prefer the whole set over anything else they’ve worn since, but it definitely wasn’t without its flaws. As an aside, I believe I’ve said this before, but the Cavs are one of the few teams in sports where I have no clue what thier ideal uniform or identity is, or should be. They’ve had so many identities and looks over the course of thier history (and even within my own lifetime) that nothing stands out to me as the “right” thing for them to do. They could switch to brown and orange tomorrow and I don’t think it’d even phase me. I mean, I do think they need to finally just pick something and stick with it for once, but I don’t think I even care what that is, as long as it looks good. That’s not a very good brand history to look back on when “just pick something, I don’t care” is the response it prompts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse, getting beat by Jordan/all the LeBron drama *is* their identity at this point. The visual part of it is just along for the ride lol. I think they might be the worst offender in pro sports when it comes to building a signature visual brand. 3 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...

Their 2K League team's logo is better since it actually depicts a cavalier (and because "team name over basketball" logos are so played out in the NBA) but it is still better than the current logo. For me, it's "The Second Coming" by Jewelz Santana. So glorious... victorious! 2 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a commonly spread myth around here. The Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers do not have a basketball in any of their logos, primary or alternate. The Bulls never had one (the court logo during the D-Rose years was never official) and the Blazers only had one with their rectangular logo set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 That's not myth but actual rule: https://news.sportslogos.net/2015/05/22/atlanta-hawks-trademark-new-logo/ and earlier a suggestion: https://uni-watch.com/2009/09/10/what-youd-prefer-that-they-use-a-puck/ Bulls are grandfathered until they decide to do a rebrand (which probably never happen), Blazers somehow are also grandfathered which I guess it because they only slightly retouch their logo not completely redesign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulls already had a basketball logo for years anyways so if the NBA forces them they already have it. Blazers could always go back to this stupid thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
