(Media day shoot + mock up) i always wanted them to use the MEM logo thing on a jersey but the supporting design is almost identical to the nets once you remove the front...

projectjohn Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think the Pistons' one is supposed to honor the Bad Boys, considering the Chuck Daly signature on the jocktag. Overall I'd say it's not great, not terrible - better than the "Motor City" ones they spent years rolling out at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing any info about extending. looked it up and you’re right, I couldn’t find anything about them extending the deal. if adidas comes back i would orgasm. Please make it happen make fun of sleeved jerseys all you want but they are better than the crap we have now. Weird shoulder trim, ads, bad quality, uninspired designs, no team identity even when there’s a good design, all i can think is damn, imagine how good that would look in an adidas version 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Adidas sucked by the end of their time with the NBA, and anyone pining for the days of sleeved jerseys is forgetting how ugly they usually were. A lot of them still would have been eyesores even if they didn't have the sleeves. The players hated them, too. Ads on jerseys are the league's fault, not the supplier's. The NBA logo was already removed from the front of the jerseys during the Adidas era specifically to set the stage for ads. Jersey ads still would have happened even if Nike never got the contract. As always, the real problem is the lack of competition. Adidas has its own severe flaws and excesses. Under Armour can't afford to keep up in the arms race anymore. Fanatics is synonymous with cheap crap. Nike is far from perfect but there aren't any clearly better options out there, so Nike ends up being the easy "default" choice because of their popularity and cultural cachet. 16 1 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currymvp2024 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Still better than what we have now and it is pretty much widely accepted in jersey collector groups that adidas jerseys were way better quality and more valuable Even if we keep the ads, at least getting rid of the other ad on the right shoulder (the nike logo) would be an improvement. I don’t see how they sucked, what flaws did they have besides sleeved jerseys, which were usually worn a limited amount of times anyways and not every team was forced to have them (unlike city jerseys)? Cavs, Hollywood Nights, Warriors slate and Chinese new year, all of those were epic and none of them would have been eyesores without sleeves. Even this is infinitely better than that ugly heat culture crap: 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBeltz Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I liked Adidas in terms of the fact that they didn't push the new jersey trend every year. We did not have a team that rotated through jerseys each year for a City. Plus I'd love to see the Christmas ones come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeved jerseys are nothing new, baseball, football, soccer all have them. When i play pickup i play in a t-shirt, not a wifebeater. So i honestly didn’t get the big deal. The ugly ones like the grey sleeved Magic, Celtics, etc were ugly to me because of the grey, not because of the sleeves. i haven’t even mentioned Nike forcing teams like the lakers, warriors and pacers to coincidentally all switch from gold to banana yellow. I guarantee if someone else takes back the rights from nike, these teams will all coincidentally switch back to gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this is infinitely better than that ugly heat culture crap: You named, at least for me, two of the worst warriors jerseys of the recent years, even uglier then the last statement. The hollywood nights lakers jersey, seriously? talking about a black lakers jersey, i think there's no debate who did it better. And this trash christmas jerseys... don't you all complain about how little it is to wait for a jersey wich last one year and then it goeas away? for sure 10 christmas jersey every year are different from 30 different jersey, but still i think it's pretty much the same problem. For sure nike threw out some garbage, the problem is that lot of people liked that garbage, like the heat """mixtape""" jersey. I think the city program could be simply reimagined, not anymore one every year. And teams who have something that has alwys been honored should stick with that, for example the St.Patrick theme for the celtics. Something like in 10 years you honor the same thing with 3 different designs for example. wouldn't be that bad and would be for other team, a chance to do something different from the main brand, which is still linked to it. By the way, for me Adidas did way more garbage then nike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because other sports wear sleeved jerseys is your reasoning for NBA teams to wear them? And you have no idea how the coloring (which is NOT banana yellow) would differ.
