Why not this, Chicago?

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that the Bulls are called "Los Bulls" when on the radio in Spanish. I think that they just don't translate the proper noun into Spanish.

I'm not saying I'm a fan of this, I'm not, that's just why I think they do it.

Yeah, this is definitely more about "trademark protection" than accuracy.

Yeah, as cool as "Cerveceros" is for the Brewers, do fans call them that? Does Espanophone media call them that, and if they do, is it because of the team's Cerveceros initiative even though they were just fine calling them "Los Brewers" before that? I'm not asking rhetorically. I really don't know what protocol is for the Brewers, or any other team.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Some new OCK pictures:

Durant's Shoes:

There's no "POP" in those Thunder homes at all. I had come to accept that they were decent looking, but even in pictures they look pitiful. There are too many colors, not enough of a main font sticks out. It's just this goofy outline around the name and the number that just looks lame. It's official: that look is terrible. But you know what that means? They're going to the NBA Finals! Generic looks are in!

Just look at Tampa Bay. haha

High Quality Entertainment for the masses.

Nah. At least the Rays' generic look is a simple, classy generic. This is just a clusterf*** of generic garbage.

Comparing the Rays and Thunder is more like comparing summertime and winter. For one, you wish it could go away much, much sooner.

Future new shorts? Practice shorts?

I'm guessing practice shorts, because the Blazers wear similar ones as well.

Damn, they are a league-wide practice short. I was holding out hope that they may have switched the red alternate to a more retro (with maybe a modern twist) style. That short template would look pretty nice. Although it is kinda similar to the Bucks, only there's doesn't go around the bottom of the shorts.

replace the white on the armlines and neckline with gold on this one and make it the home jersey...

...and make this baby the road jersey...

...and methinks you have an improvement on the classic set and the best uniforms in the NBA.

Nice jerseys. I hope that they will use it as often as it is.

On OKC Uniforms:

It reminds me of the 1998-2001 GSW uniform which had Antawn Jamison and Erick Dampier as top stars.

Here's the evidence:

GSW Uniform (1997-2001)

OKC Uniform

Did you doctor that OKC pic for effect? The lines in the collar aren't smooth. Plus I thought OKC's dark blue was lighter than that.

I don't believe he did. They are actually those colors. Though, I think only the trim (and the colors in general) resemble the Warriors. Their uniforms more resemble, almost uncanningly, the teal Pistons sets from the mid to late 90's.

There is a 2008 NBA Season Preview Uni Blog up and there are some interesting things that haven't seen yet that are revealed here.

1. More teams will be wearing those uniforms for Latin Night (or La Noche Latina)

Rockets: Los Rockets

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3006/296397...5d3c28bfb_b.jpg

They all look stupid for the most part, but the Knicks (who are also doing it) have the best (and most logical) Latin Night Design.

2. If you haven't seen the Celtics Championship Golden-Trimmed Home Unis, here they are (with a Larry O'brien (NBA Championship) Trophy patch in the corner):

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/296472...642dd746b_b.jpg

3. There are a lot of extra stuff, like a comparison of the nuggets unis with navy to w/ cobalt blue and such, so you guys should look. Here's the link (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/081028&sportCat=nba)

College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here

Haven't we covered all of this stuff in this very thread?
