illwauk Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Then I must've sipped from the same kool-aid 'cause I like it too. Not sure I'd actually rock the Times Square side tho...BTW... the "theme" of each jersey is much easier to understand if you look at the jackets and t-shirts. But I'd still love to know what black and neon green has to do with "Comeback City." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCdog Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Is it me or upon close inspection, does it appear that the numbers on Cleveland's jersey's have a black snakeskin print? It sure looks like it. If this is the case, I'd say the ATTEMPTED theme for Cleveland is "Rock n' Roll." The snakeskin print, bright neon, dominant use of black....kinda scream vaguely 80's MTV Rock n' Roll era....meh.Rockets jersey looks like it has paint blotched on it, like some Ambercombie destroyed jeans.Knicks jersey should have been yellow with a black & white checkerboard trim, like a true cabbie.Miami jacket could have used night pics of the neon South Beach décor all lit up like New York's use of Times Square on its jacket.Chicago = Perfect...I might actually cop that jersey!Detroit I believe is tryna convey a "Racer" theme....notice the use of Dodge-like racing stripes on the side panels. Still to vague though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogbarks55 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Call me crazy, but I really dig those New Orleans jerseys for some reason.They look like an old pair of socks my father used to wear in the 1940s. The best looking one is for the Lakers. That's the uniform the La-La Boys should wear. Go Celts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arts11 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 not feeling these. i'm not even sure of some of the inspirations. it took me awhile (until i saw the checkered piping), but i guess NY's supposed to be based on the cabs, in which case they really should've flipped the colors. not really sure about Cleveland's, LA's (glitz and bling bling w/ the gold?), or Detroit's tho.

habsfan1 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I am not gonna lie. I am seriously feeling that Miami jersey.Me too. Bright light colors making, no overwhelming graphic garbage, suits the area. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnshell18 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I know there hasn't been a lot of love for the Detroit jersey in this series, but I've gotta tell you as a Detroiter, this is PERFECT! It's simple, it's bad-ass, and it's striped like a hot-rod. Beyond that, it just fits Detroit--a no-B.S. town that knows its sports and knows its cars. Could you imagine trying to pawn off a monstrosity like the Hornets or the Heat jersey up here? Hell no!

chestnutz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Went to NYC for the Big East tournament this weekend, and in the NBA store I saw these right at the front. Got to see the side panels and everything, so to answer a couple questions...Detroit: The side paneling is a flame of fire, like the hot rods. Makes sense now.Chicago: Sadly this was the only jersey I ddin't see, I wanted to see it really bad too cause it looked sick. My friend bought the hat though, and it was definately cool. http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/productdeta...006044/node--0/LA: The side panels is like one of those exotic designs you see on some cars. I'm sure there's a certain name for the style, but I don't know. Kind of like what the NBA sometimes has on their ads from a lil while back. That said, the jersey looked pretty awesome. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
