DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 at least the Mystics' sponsor has the same colors as them... that makes it a little better I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought the Mystics colors were more like the Wiz. Did they change their colors to match the sponsor? It appears so...and I'd guess that's the reason, but maybe not. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

It appears so...and I'd guess that's the reason, but maybe not.The Mystics and Wizards are both going to red, white, and blue because of the new owner Ted Leonsis who also owns the Caps and did the same to them. The new Wizards look just isn't out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Too bad it's another league with one template for every team. They could have made the team logo a little bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Horrible. I know the WNBA needs to sell ad space on uniforms to stay alive, but it looks hideous.You can't even tell what the name of the team is by glancing at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The back of these jerseys are atrocious. Power web backs and the names forced down under the numbers. Pretty poor IMO. Look for the D League to be sporting something similar next year. At least last year they had some individual team elements put into the uniforms. I guess those manufacturers thought it'd be too much effort this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've watched more WNBA in the last year or two, I've definitely noticed the benefit. Every Fifth Day is a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real difference in teemplate, but different from the WNBA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names below the numbers almost out of necessity with this cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Adidas goes "racer back" for the women's jerseys so having the name above is pretty much impossible unless you're name has 5 letters. I kinda give anyone a pass on templates at this level, its not like the WNBA is raking in cash for anyone. Its pretty much losing money across the board from Owners, sponsors, retailers, even players who could make much more overseas. So the fact that adidas puts them in anything that isn't a practice mesh is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Why are you even watching the WNBA to begin with?I watch it occasionaly when it's on specifically for the uniforms and logos, since I don't get to see them anywhere else and what they've been doing over the past few years with the new templates, the ads, and the overall designs is interesting to me, and relevant to anyone who is a "spots logos" fan, and not just some butthurt sports fan who comes on this board for purposes other than to discuss logos and uniforms.
