Things That Bother Me About NBA Unis

[Delux247]

I'm a modernist. With that in mind...

I LIKE:

-belt buckle logos (Celtics, Bucks, Hornets, Suns, Sonics, Jazz)

-mid shoulder logos (Bulls, Cavs, Mavericks, Warriors, Grizzlies, Knicks, Suns, Kings, Raptors)

-wide shoulders (Bulls alt, 76ers)

-shiny material is ok

-alternate jerseys

-innovative layout (Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Toronto)

-collar logos or tags (Hawks alt, Bobcats, Cavs, Nuggets, Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, 76ers, Sonics)

-T'Wolves trim. It is clever with the negative space interaction of alternating tree colors; same as court sideline trim.

-two-tone wood courts (Suns, Sonics, Raptors)

-parquet floors (Celtics, T'Wolves, Magic)

I DISLIKE:

-gradient jerseys (Bucks and Hawks both had them)

-full logos on jersey chests instead of wordmarks

-butt crack logos (Hawks, Bobcats, Nuggets, Clippers, Magic)

-color-changing fabric when sweated in

-throwbacks (especially Chicago's!!!)

-the Suns' 'PHX' - I agree with the airport tag comment

-Heat's strong use of yellow on court, found EXTREMELY rarely in jerseys and logo

-Jazz's use of font on baseline - irrelevant to team

-when the baseline says "basketball" or a sponsor (Celtics, Nets, Spurs)

also i dont like the fact that every sport wear the logo of their appareal maker except the nba, whats wrong with having the reebox, now addidas logo on the jersey

Actually that is one think that I LIKE about NBA jerseys. Who needs the manufacturer logo on the jersey? It is pure shill advertizing. On NFL jerseys they go to such an extreme to include the damn logos that if a player shortens his sleeves that have to sew the logo on higher up! Sheesh!

Another thing, anyone else annoyed by the odd horsehead perspective of the Mavs' logo? That and the cartoony ball lines in the logo scream "WHIPPED UP IN TWO MINUTES ON A COCKTAIL NAPKIN".
