tubby34 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It's almost....TOO simple. It needs just ONE more element of some kind to give it some distinction. I can't put my finger on it.

Discogod Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Is the logo on the shorts different for Lopez and Wallace?Good eye! Looks like Lopez has the logo with the thicker "Nets" whilst Wallace has the thin version. Would thought they'd have sorted that out by the time they played a game...

Digs Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Re the TBC Thunder alternates, I don't actually mind the simple navy / white colour scheme... for me it's more the Royals vertical wordmark template that's a complete disconnect with their branding to date (however flawed that branding might be).Here's a quick mockup maintaining the two-tone simplicity, but with a modern wordmark (pulled from their logo) to better suit the team's identity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I've decided I like the stars. It has a Hollywood feel as well as kind of an old-time NBA kitsch feel. It's definitely something I could've seen them doing at the Fabulous Forum. Too bad they're moving in the opposite direction at the same time with the modern L logo (one which I feel is redundant and ugly) and the inelegant unflanked keys.They should have just applied this new center court logo to the old floor and maybe even gone with plain yellow baselines.It's not every day you hear non-functional visual clutter described as 'elegant.'

These look like the bastard child of the spurs and trail blazers.What about putting the number inside of the shield?It gets suggested nearly every day, but I think that instantly makes the uniform look gimmicky and cute, and it dosn't fit their identity.

Raysfan12 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The game wasn't televised, but the road set looks great in these shots.I like these; the simple Black/White seems to fit Brooklyn. I'd like to find a way to put some yellow and/or darker gray (not silver) in there (Black/Yellow would also be unique to the NBA), but I can see these lasting quite a while.I like the Net's uniform because it's bold and simple at the same time. During an era of sports uniforms that are flashy and gimmicky, the Nets produced a modern classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This might make sense, but I still feel like a whacko for saying it. With their new uniforms, which actually look quite good so far, when there is an errant color in the get-up I find myself ticked off. Wallace's blue knee pad, and the silver on Humphries' shoes just sticks out like never before. Trust me, I've always been a fan of one Thunder player wearing navy shoes, one wearing white, one wearing orange, and whatever. It's a personal touch to a cohesive uniform, but if everything on Nets players isn't JUST black & white, then what are we doing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 New picture of the Lakers court.It's about damn time they fixed the baselines. Glad to see the real "Lakers" script and the removal of the purple box. Stars look nice as well. Very Hollywood.

Lee Noire Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Do the Nets have a inaugural season in Brooklyn logo or patch yet? One would think that's what a team does in this type of situation right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henburg Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I didn't even notice the baselines at first, that's a huge upgrade. If only they would update the logo to match the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 With the Nets, it feels like the number/nameplate font feel out of place, despite matching the Brooklyn on the front.But for SUCH a bare bones identity, it feels like a more classic font would compliment them much more.
