Fox Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh man, I love that Mavs word mark... if it were up to me I'd put it on the home whites too. Great looking alt. I like it a lot more than the regular road jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I like the font, but I hate that it says "Mavs", just like I hated it when the Cavaliers spent almost 20 years with "Cavs" across their jerseys. Either put the city name, or team name, not some abbreviation. Same with all this "PHX" and "ATL" crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love so see a full Mavericks script in that style or the style the Dallas script is in, but as for abbreviations, like Cavs, PHX, ATL, etc, I actually kind of like them but for alternates only. Not a good idea full time, but looks pretty cool on an alt IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had photoshop skills, I'd love to see a modernized version of this guy with the "Mavs" style script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 New Jazz green alts. I love the green, but I kinda wish the side panels were gold or white.Wow. These are easily the best unis in the Jazz current line-up. Gold or white side panels would make them look too much like the Packers (or the Sonics, as previously mentioned), IMO.Totally agree...the early 80's ones looked like weird Sonics jerseys; the blue side panels tie it into the overall identity much better. I do think the road and the alt might be better served with more gold replacing the white. The white wordmark on the New Orleans and early Utah jerseys always looked cheap to me.As I've stated multiple times, the navy really works just fine as a purple substitute for me. It just looks like another shade of the classic purple and maintains the traditional colors adequately IMO. I'm not sure what it is about the contrast with the green and everything, but it doesn't strike me as a jarring wrong blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I like the thirds the best because the navy uniforms just scream "it's not purple!" to me. But I also think that purple on the new thirds would look too much like the original Mighty Ducks uniforms form the first movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delux247 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So, I have a few questions/confirmations:- now the only teams without a modern alternate (not a HWC or throwback) are the Bobcats, Cavs, Warriors, Clippers, Nets, Knicks, Thunder, Spurs, & Wizards?- when will the Sixers be unveiling their new blue alternate?- is the Pistons' red alternate retired? It's still listed as "present" on this site.- is the 'Mardi Gras' jersey still in the Hornets' repertoire?- how did Utah skirt the "rule" of waiting 2 years before implementing an alternate?

whitedawg22 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Damn it, it pisses me off when teams get the Hardwood Classics so wrong. Those Floridians unis NEVER had either the team or city name on the jerseys, and the NOB is way off. If they can't get it right, I'd rather they not bother at all.Not only that, but the Floridians jersey would be way better if the players wore the same jersey numbers on the front and back. It's going to be really confusing this way. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Windmill360 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is the second time the mavs have recycled the colors on that alternate diddy jersey. The first time it was green. The second it was royal blue. Now navy blue. They should have just designed a new one. Recycling the colors devalues the design to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Rip City is still shown for Portland.Also, no black alternate shown for Charlotte on Media Central, for whatever that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutztown Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 76ers have minimized some of the red in the collar of their home white jersey. OLDvs. NEWHopefully they did the same for the red aways. I wish they would just go back to these full-time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
