2012-13 NBA Logo & Uniform changes

I like the design on the front. But that's not a basketball jersey. The NBA doesn't allow t-shirts to be worn under jerseys so I don't understand why this would fly. Not to mention the super tight sleeves look uncomfortable to me. I feel like it'd chafe my armpits.

Most players wear compression tanks underneath their uniform currently, they are just not cotton.

Plus, there are a growing number of players who wear a compression sleeve from their wrist to above the elbow and it is a different color than the uniform. Just make it one layer.

So the next step is long sleeves?

Why not? The NBA did airbrush away Iverson's tattoos for their "Hoop" magazine a decade ago. I would not put it past them.

The Evansville Purple Aces, they ain't.

The pinstriped shorts are certifiably baffling. For someone who made a baseball comparison: That's baseball. Accepted design principles in one sport don't necessarily transfer to other sports. And even the baseball analogy fails at a fundamental level, because a baseball concept featuring a solid white jersey with pinstriped pants would likely get laughed clear off these boards.

This is a soccer jersey on top of softball pants being called a basketball uniform. It has so many layers of bad ideas layered on top of each other, it's a veritable phyllo dough of failure.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

"The rationale is having a full shirt as the team's jersey allows people to represent their team in more settings. Unlike soccer, baseball and football, basketball uniforms are limited, from a fashion perspective, because they are sleeveless."

Translation, cash grab.
