Yeah, the more and more I think about it, that aint a second jersey underneath.

Why would they have that for his official pic? Orlando and Sacto are letting it all hang out, proverbially. And the seaming is waaay too symmetrical to be just a separate shirt underneath. It would look a bit more "rumpled".

Agreed. Plus, if it's a second shirt, then that means that the new shirt has no neck trim, which would look ridiculous when paired with that sleeve trim.

(not that the neck trim that is there isn't ridiculous, but still...)

Man that Kings jersey is slick. I really, really like it. Way better than that gold piece of poop.

But that Wolves jersey is terrible. Holy cow.

Are the numbers and font that small? Or is Kevin Love that huge? It's kind of silly the way the numbers are laid out.

Anyway, someone said that it looks like a WNBA jersey, and is thus a joke. I'm the other way -- I wish more NBA teams looked like WNBA teams. The WNBA has awesome side panel detail that I would love to see incorporated into NBA jerseys.

The Kings are going to need a thicker white outline to make the numbers legible from any sort of distance. K-State had the same problem during the Thuggy-Bear era.

The Timberwolves jersey has to rank right up there with the Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Bills as one of the decade's biggest clusterf***s. Not only is there so much unbelievably bad stuff going on around the neck at so many awkward angles, but they held on to that terrible number font, which has nothing to do with the retooled logo. Just pathetic.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I was wondering about the neck trim too. Assuming the tree'd part is the old jersey, then that would make the new jersey's neck line really wide open. It already looks like a warmup jersey to me, so having that wide of a neck line doesn't help matters.

T-Wolves---HORRIBLE! How can you force your team to play in those things? I hope seeing them in real life changes my mind.

Kings---Swap the inner/outter colors of the wordmark and numbers and u have great uni's.

Magic---Too early to tell. Could it be possible that the pinstripes are formed kind of like a sunburst, lines that point out but meet up behind the wordmark? Looks like they go off the sleeve, and are oddly spaced. That would somehow support them looking like "Spiderman" suits wouldn't it? I think thats what it means.

i like the Kings new roads, the previous ones didnt really match.

i cannot wait for the new hornets and magic unis. i was a big fan of what they played in last year. i have a feeling that they are going to have the same idea as last year's but with pinstripes.

as for the wolves, they are TERRIBLE. i agree that they definitely look like a WNBA jersey.

Charlotte Bobcats - you're out of the family.

Buffalo Bills, Colorado Rockies, Buffalo Sabres, please say hello to the newest member of your elite fraternity, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

KINGS - Not bad, but I think the old uniforms are much better. I think that the black on purple is going to be too hard to read. That's the only problem I have with them.

TIMBERWOLVES - I think that he is wearing the old jersey, because the tress don't look like they belong but nothing else really does either so I wouldn't be surprised if they are on the new jersey. The jersey is just a mess, too many colors and parts that don't belong. Major downgrade.

The closer I look at that Kevin Love pic, the more I'm convince that he's wearing the old jersey underneath. There's no way that's the collar.

Even if that turns out to be the case, this jersey still seems seriously flawed. While we've all been distracted by the trees, what the hell is with the random black triangle under the neck? What purpose does that serve? Totally unnecessary.

I LOVE the new look. It's so appealing in fact, that may regain sort of a passing interest in this team come the start of the season.

This is a mid-00's WNBA jersey. Honest to God.

And while I like the Kings, does anyone else feel like Adidabok is trying to imitate Nike's S.O.D.? First the 76ers, now the Kings. It's amazing that a major uniform company actually lets their rival dictate the trends for them.

So am I the only one who actually thinks Minnesota's jerseys are an upgrade over their old one? I just really hated their old one. I'm not saying it looks good or that i'd buy it, but it's an upgrade IMO.
