truepg Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Actually those half armhole stripes work for the Blazers with that collar style and logo treatment, unlike the Knicks. It also matches with the nature of Blazers' logo being "cut" horizontally from both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Another gem unviled. Well done, Denver AND Portland!

IceCap Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That's incredible. Even their Chargers-ripoff color scheme looks good on them for a change.watPowder blue and gold will always remind me of the AFL Chargers uniforms. The Nuggets' regular uniform is powder blue and gold dominant. It's not really that off-base, IMO.Of course, Spanos hasn't helped matters by continuing to force navy into the color scheme even when he finally brought back powder blue.The Nuggets switched to a double blue and gold scheme in 2003 when the Chargers were still just wearing navy and gold. Also, the Chargers never had a history of using two blues at the same time until their last redesign in 2006. So the argument could be made that the Chargers copied the Nuggets by adopting the double blue and gold scheme three years after the Nuggets did. You could make a case that the popularity of the Chargers' powder blue throwbacks inspired the Nuggets, but then again the Nuggets have their own history wearing blue and gold.I don't think either one really copied the other. Both teams have histories of using blue and gold, and the double blue fad was picking up steam around the time both teams started looking into a redesign.

truepg Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Notice that the Knicks' media day jerseys have the old thick numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Notice that the Knicks' media day jerseys have the old thick numbers.good point. maybe they scratched the thin numbers on account of fan backlash...anyway, it looks better with the wider numbers. still looks awful as a whole, though.

The_Admiral Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I really like what the Nuggets did for their alternate, but I'd rather see it on powder blue than yellow. The fewer yellow uniforms, the better. Keeps the Lakers looking special. While you're at it, use the rainbow on the skyline, not just team colors, but that's asking too much now; I know.The Trail Blazers' alternate is terrible. The sash looks awful, and the script doesn't match the other ones. Also, black on red is kind of a Bulls thing now. Why not white on black or white on red?Nets uniforms are the worst. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheBrow Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The theme with the new jerseys is "less is more". Don't really need a whole bunch of shenanigans, just have what city you're representing on the front and what family you're representing on the back of the jersey and we're good to go.

WSU151 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Portland's jersey would look a lot better if it didn't have the 5-on-5 logo at the neck. It would have been perfect just on the shorts. The new sash blows. And I actually like Conrad's alternate Nuggets design a lot better than what they went with. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Billy B Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 -Blazers alternate is a definite downgrade over the old red alt. The "streamlined" sash looks worse than what they're regularly wearing and all the other little elements don't really add anything. I hope the new sash doesn't come to the home and road jerseys in the future. Their current look is classic, the new alternate just looks like it's trying too hard.-The Nuggets alternate is great. I'm not sure if I would want to see this design come to the home and road (it might be a little too busy), but it's great for an alternate. Great addition to a pretty good looking set.-I know the Cavs alternates came out a while ago, but seeing them in that photo shoot just reminds me of how good they look. It's really a shame that the league won't let them wear those as their full-time home uniforms.-I love everything Brooklyn is doing with their identity. Those are uniforms that will develop into classics and the herringbone pattern on the trim is a great touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 But the Nuggets and Blazers have a lot of shenanigans going on (skyline and chunky striping, weird distorted sash). Less can be more, but not for every team in every sport. I'm glad the Nuggets are trying something unconventional; the pendulum was swinging too far again. #teamlightsout? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
