The_Admiral Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I wasn't really thinking of the Knicks losing fans so much as not gaining new ones. They're at something of an ebb in terms of their popularity as far as I can figure, holding on to the die-hards but not drawing much interest from either casual basketball fans or newcomers to the city. I was speaking more in terms of growing the base of basketball fans.They're on the upswing from the truly dark years. I hope they keep it going; the NBA is more fun when the Knicks are a big deal. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wILL-INI Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Not sure the source, I found it on NetsDaily.comIf these are true. They lack a lot of creativity, but they arent the worst things in the world. Looks like a desaturated version of the new knicks jerseys. "Classic" does not mean it gets a free pass for being bad design.Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Vertical arching? Not radial?I wasn't really thinking of the Knicks losing fans so much as not gaining new ones.

I hope they keep it going; the NBA is more fun when the Knicks are a big deal.I'd tend to agree.But that doesn't change the fact that the Dolans' combination of complacent arrogance and spectacular mismanagement of their crown jewel has opened a very wide door for another team to come in and carve off large sections of the ever-expanding market.And a real competitor for that market just might provide the Knicks with the pressure they need to actually be a big deal.

Lee. Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Except for the fonts, numbers, and nameplates, etc. They're black and white. Nothing to complain or get excited about, really.

Brian E Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Any fan who would relinquish his Knicks fandom for the also-ranniest of New York's also-rans wasn't a fan worth having in the first place. This is just putting hipster on a pig. For the Nets to couch themselves in Brooklyn b.s. as if they predate the amalgamation of the city is actually kind of galling.welcome to new york. home of the "yeah, but i've always liked them, too!" fan.here's the thing: it's like this anywhere. people love winners. but having two-three teams in the market for each of the four major sports lends itself to the casual fan hopping on whichever team is good's bandwagon.the knicks happen to run by the douchiest of new york's douchetastic owners, so anything the nets do to appear more fan friendly, hip, fresh, whatever is going to help them lure away the new fan or the ones that are just looking to wear something cool while walking down the street. if you want to debate the merits of those fans, that's another story. but really, the knicks should be in no way, shape, or form positioned to lose any fans to the nets based on how long they've had a stranglehold of the market. the fact that they have (and if the nets open up the season strong and the knicks languish in any way, will continue to) is a real testament to how inept things are down at good ol' MSG.

The court looks shoddy and the uniforms have gray, which raises more red flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keynote Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Mike Lee, Wizards beat writer for the Washington Post, retweeted this tweet:@MrMichaelLeeZzzzz RT @NYDNInterNets: RT @eLonePB: From everything I've heard from Nets insiders, these are new Brooklyn jerseys:If true, there appears to be a chevron pattern on the trim. I can't tell whether it's a grey pattern, or merely different lighting due to embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Could be.I like. But no gray at the neck or sleeves, so Nets Daily's mockup was wrong.And, as I said before, radial and not vertical arching. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well, the jerseys were unveiled last night at the Jay-Z concert opening the Barclays Center (ownership has its privileges, even a tiny minority ownership piece). Not a huge fan of the subtle pinstripe pattern, but other that they they're pretty good. I really love the word mark. What you can't see in this graphic is that the thin white stripe down the side of the body (and the corresponding black one on the white jersey) has a contrast-thread herringbone pattern on it. A subtle call-out to the court, and very cool. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keynote Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I don't see any subtle pinstripe pattern. That just looks like adidas' standard mesh pattern. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Maybe it is Adidas's standard mesh. I gave up on basketball years ago, so I'm not up on the intricacies of construction. I thought this was a design element:But if that's just the standard material, and not an attempt to busy up the jerseys, then I like them more. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
