pamrhein Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 On the Knicks' online store, Anthony jerseys can be pre-ordered but are not expected to ship until April. The NBA's online store is not promising shipment until May.The problem, Modell said, is that the team recently decided against altering its uniform design for 2011-12, leaving adidas with a limited inventory because the company had been anticipating a change.http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/delays-in-getting-carmelo-knicks-jersey-1.2707640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 So they're not changing their uniforms for next season anymore? That's a shame. I was really looking forward to them ditching the black and bringing back the early 90's look. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yes, the early '90s look was great. They wore throwbacks a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. That is what the Knicks should look like. Then again, if they changed unis what is to say they wouldn't switch to something worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdAstraKC Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would definitely be happy to see them drop the black completely. There's always next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The article was about replica unis. Maybe they're just not making more of those at this point until the new stuff is unveiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he says "team" I think he means the actual players, not the people who make the replica jerseys.

xTr1pleXx Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Wouldn't they have had to notify the NBA that they're switching jerseys awhile back? If so, can't imagine this decision just came out of the blue.If it's right, it's disappointing though. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian E Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 yeah i just relistened to modell's interview from this morning and it's very disjointed. from what he said, it sounds like we can make the following assumptions:1) the knicks planned on going to something similar to what they wore tonight: a throwback, black-less look2) adidas (even though he said reebok on tv/radio this morning) didn't have enough of the 2010-'11 replicas in stock to mass produce melo jerseys at the drop of a hat3) the knicks have now decided against a changeHOWEVERthis doesn't add up. it would seem to me that, like xTr1pleXx said, the league would have been notified about the change already and it would be too late to scrap it. so who knows?i will say this: their throwbacks are selling like crazy. the online stores sold out of the personalized throwbacks in sizes 48s, 52s and 54s within minutes of them taking the court tonight.maybe paul will shed some light on this at UW tomorrow morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The one thing I don't like about old Knicks uniforms is that orange is the base color instead of blue on the home whites. I love the orange against blue on the road, but royal blue is a far better base color than orange with a white uniform. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoRsAndTwoLs Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Beyond the intrigue of watching Carmelo play his first game for the Knicks, that was a beautiful (uniform-wise) game to watch. It wasn't perfect, but it just shows how much the late 1990's screwed up the identity of most teams.I have to disagree that the game was beautiful uniform-wise. The bright blue of the Knicks' uniforms made the Bucks' dark green look more like a drab almost-gray green. The two colors just didn't match up well visually to me, although I must admit I like both of the jerseys on their own.
