Waffles Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I guess the idea was to add some hometown cultural influence to these uniforms. They're, um, interesting. I guess they get some points for creativity, although the Lakers and Bulls jerseys turned didn't turn out too badly.Eastbay - adidas NBA Homecooked (scroll up to see the Rockets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckymack Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Call me crazy, but I really dig those New Orleans jerseys for some reason. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 those are quite interesting...i like the Knicks and the Nuggets jerseys, but I don't understand some of the inspirations for some of them (Cavs, Lakers, Pistons?)good lil' find UWEDIT: those New Orleans jersey are VERY similar to the ones used in the AS08 celebrity game this year: Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design SolutionsΒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think the jerseys for the celebrity game at All-Star weekend were the same as the New Orleans ones.EDIT: Beat me to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtrailtrekker Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i just dont understand. whats the theme? whats the point?its all money. these designs are garbage. some arent designs. theyre the team's uni's with random colors. it sickens me how lazy the people who design these things are getting. i mean...so someone comes to the big meeting of board members with this idea of "Homecooked" jerseys? I mean..wouldnt the other board members or whatever think the guy was on crack? Guess not. hm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 eh...usually i would love this kinda thing, and i do for some teams (NY, LAL, NO, MIA), but i just do not understand some teams (CLE, CHI, HOU, DET). if they could only get 4 decent teams out of it, and only come up with "ideas" for 9 of the NBA teams, it probably wasn't something worth pursuing. probably should have waited till the playoffs so they could have made something like 5/16 teams instead of 9/30. now that i do the math, that wouldn't be much better. scrap it all.

goaztecs Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I like the Chicago Bulls jersey. Am I the only one who saw the Rockets jersey and thought of the MLB Turn Ahead The Clock Night jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where the imagry is from though. Chicago has pinstripes for the Gangster Imagery of Al Capone.Houston is The Space City, so the jersey has space images all over it.Detroit is the motor City. The colors are "hot rod" i believe.These jerseys are only part of the whole package. There are also jackets, hats, and shoes that go along with them and I know the jackets contain more imagery that makes more sense for each city. Some of them are better than others, but its just another program of jerseys and sportswear. Adidas' job is to make as much money as they can for the NBA and for the teams. If they didn't explore as many money making opportunities as they could they wouldn't have the contract much longer. The fact is, there must be a market for this stuff or they wouldn't make it. Yes, its a money making program. But what one isn't? Sports is a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The colors and lack of imagery for Cleveland is from Lebron's high school. I'm scared that these might see the light of day on St Patty's Day. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman077 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I actually really like a few of them. I like the NO jerseys alot, and, yeah, they're the AGS Celeb Game ones. A lot of them are pretty cool, but, this Detroiter wants to know: why black? Really? Is it supposed to look like a tire? Help me!

BBTV Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I wouldn't wear any of these (well I don't wear jerseys period) but from a design standpoint, I'm really digging the New Orleans and Chicago models.

kid_17 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 is it just my screen or does the Laker jersey have Padres colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joely Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Lightish Blue and White? I think it looks more Dodgers than Padres to me...Anyone checked the jackets out? The New York and LA ones are incredible, and the New Orleans one is absolutely mental, tie-die craziness...!They aren't always the most subtle articles, but i have to say they really are original, which is really good, better than some of the staid and repetitive on court designs recently...

mmejia Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I really like the Hornets jersey. Some of the others just seem to be recolored versions of the current jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I wonder what they'll do with the Bucks since they can't market the obvious to kids (we're about to lose our last major brewer anyway). I think the wings of the Milwaukee Art Museum would make for a (potentially) good design.And I agree... Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit don't make a lick of sense. I can kind of buy Chicago as a Capone "tribute" (but shouldn't it be black with white pinstripes?) and if Detroit is supposed to represent tires, they could've been much more obvious with it. But what the hell is Cleveland supposed to represent? Was a rock & roll theme not "weird" enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Some of these are hard to understand without a good look at the side panels, which you don't get with the product shots. For example, I was a little baffled as to what yellow and black had to do with New York until I caught a little bit of the checkered side panels. That one would make even more sense were it predominantly yellow with black trim. And the Detroit one, I still don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
