TFoA Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm starting to believe I'm the only one who believes that this is a downgrade from what they had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 this is from bee mail. I think these are the official unis and the pictures weve seen closeups are replicas,- notice the diffreence in necks. So a real good official picture of the set is yet to be seenNote the angle of the pinstriping on the Hornets' official graphic, whereas the actual uni is straight. Might this mean straight pinstriping for the Magic's new unis as well?And Flame, you're not alone. I'm not enamored with this one yet, but perhaps it'll grow on me. There are some elements I like, but some are just very... ehhh.Also: Butt trumpets.

AAO Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 No....the ones from beemail are just NBA media mockups. In most part, they are accurate, but they leave stuff out and take artistic leisure to do certain things.On the files for last years' all star jerseys, they have the back having that same exact thing. But it ended up not being that way. I highly doubt the back of the neck will look that way.Another example, on the media site they have the Hawk's unis front collar looking fairly different than they really do. Just like here, the front collar on the actual jerseys and the front collar in this image are different.

ferrousoxide66 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also: Butt trumpets.Huzzah for the butt trumpets!Seriously, an upgrade. Bigtime. Love the more-prominent fdb's on the shorts sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... check out the neck on these. they seem to follow the curved taper of the illustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's more drastic in the render, and it also shows the yellow tapering off before it reaches the bottom of the neck line. Whereas in the real pictures, the yellow goes all the way around. Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 For my tastes, there is not enough yellow on the Hornets' newly unveiled homes to justify its prominence on the roads, or vice versa.

Flame Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 After seeing the shorts and everything, I just like it that much more, every new recent NBA jersey has been an upgrade, which is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delux247 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also, back to the leaked nba2k9 image, take a look at the back collar:This picture also shows a rounding of the side panels into the trim around the leg holes whereas the real shorts are abrupt angles.

TFoA Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 And Flame, you're not alone. I'm not enamored with this one yet, but perhaps it'll grow on me. There are some elements I like, but some are just very... ehhh.I can't stand the fact that they went back to the multi-colored pinstripes. I wish they had just picked one color and went with it. There's just so much stuff that I don't like about these new ones. Maybe it's because I liked the old ones so much.Eh. The T-Wolves new uniforms grew on me, maybe these will as well. I doubt it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, though.I think the T-Wolves jerseys grow on you the same way mold grows on you. I still think those are absolutely horrible. Upgrade? Perhaps, but still awful.As for the Hornets, I dislike the away uniform. The yellow wordmark and white side panels seem backwards. I don't mind the multi-colored pinstripes, but I couldn't even see the purple stripes at first.Good to have a pinstripe jersey back in the NBA, though. (One is enough, but at least we have one.)

ShinyHubCaps Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I also find it ironic that Desmon Mason is on the team again, except they're in Oklahoma City now, which means Desmond has worn every team uniform since 2000 even though he's played elsewhere, and he played on the Hornets when they were in Oklahoma City!Desmond is also from Oklahoma... well, born and raised in Texas, but went to college at Oklahoma State. There's no doubt in my mind that they acquired him to try to win over the fans, seeing as they're going to be pretty awful this season.Now Desmond Mason's team history is a palindrome: Sonics, Bucks, Hornets, Bucks, "Sonics" (OKC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 They look so much better in the video game. Im not liking the jerseys now that I see them on the players. The wordmarks look like they dont belong. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
