I saw that the Houston Rockets changed their profile picture to this for a couple of days before reverting back to the normal primary logo. It's likely nothing, but does anybody have insight as to what this is?

It feels like branding for an app


Kinda looks like the Rocket Mortgage logo rotated clockwise. Doubt that’s what it is though, given that Dan Gilbert owns a different franchise and his company has naming rights to their arena.

Possible city leak circulating around Celtics Twitter. I was kinda hoping they'd go for a Vice-esque rotation between various colorways of last year's Bill Russell jerseys... but, this could be acceptable, with a clean old-school wordmark and their underutilized gold trim.

As most of us in the Rockets circles expected, it's just part of the marketing campaign for this season.

This is getting weird. Might just be my brain 😂

“But but but only YOU disagree with me” 🤣

 

Call them ugly, but claiming they aren’t iconic is a terrible take and flat out wrong, especially when you're neither a Warriors nor Cavs fan (so I guess I can’t blame you for not understanding why they were iconic 🤦‍♂️)


Almost nobody here said they'd prefer nike over adidas:

Oh look Twitter agrees with me too:

https://twitter.com/search?q=Adidas nike nba jersey&src=typed_query

 

Even these comments are split 50-50, not 1-99 as you seem to imply:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/cdrtc9/were_the_sleeved_adidas_jerseys_the_worst_jersey/

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2xdyml/who_likes_the_sleeved_jerseys/

 

no, that wasn't my only reasoning if you read the rest of my post. 🤦‍♂️ And no, we do have an idea, because the coloring was not banana before Nike took over, and nobody used banana before Nike.

 

Would you like me to call it lemon yellow instead? Alrighty. either way it is NOT the correct shade 🤷‍♂️

 

Gold vs Yellow : r/lakers

 

What annoys me the most is the lack of white on the trim, drop shadow and the nob is really boring, compared to the classic one. There isn't enough contrast, so it looks like it's full yellow. Obviuously banana yellow instead of gold is the main problem.

It was called Home Strong uniform as a nod to the military. It was released along with this uniform called Legacy:

I have this some Goran jersey. Love it ! Would have liked to see other color variations of it.

every time I watch the Lakers play I just start at the lack of white trim. It bothers me sooooo much.

The last time Lakers played in SF, Warriors wore white and Lakers wore gold. NOT confusing AT ALL. /s

agreed. i wish the league would allow them to bring back those Showtime unis full-time, rather than force them to make some weird modifications. they probably can't even bring them back as Classic editions because they're already so similar.

 

also damn, Halloween came early?spacer.png

Maybe just keeping the Kobe jerseys but adding the "showtime shadow" to the white numbers, and then maybe a purple shadow to the wordmark (for the sole reason of making it juuuust different enough to warrant the change) and dropping the side panels would have been the way to go.  The down shadow looks bad, as do the purple uniforms with all the black.  There had to be other solutions to moving on from the Kobe look without looking like the Great Value version of the Showtime team.

 I guess I understand the Lakers' desire to move on from the Kobe era set, but I don't understand is how they arrived at what they ended up with. They could've just transitioned the Kobe era look onto a crew-neck style jersey, perhaps with drop shadows on the numbering, and it would've turned out much better, IMO.
