They already had removed the lines. Change for change sake, and in the wrong direction. Why keep changing it every year? Its absurd, and I thought they were going away from the hideous C. As has been stated ad nauseum, it doesn't fit their improved identity. Oh, Gilbert.

Can I make a "he should've used comic sans" joke?

At least it's consistent with the unusual placement of its corporate arena sponsor.

No they hadn't. The previous Cavaliers' court included the college lines.

That's weird. I assumed this one was the first year of their brand change:

And that this was year 2:

Did the latter never happen?

Only the latter happened (but with the college lines), right from year one of the rebrand. The former never took place.

Uniwatch news on the warriors alt

Will the Warriors’ as-yet-unrevealed alternate uni look like this? Could be, according to a former Adidas employee. “That photo was taken in April, so tweaks may have been made,” says my source. “They were playing around with the idea of short-sleeve jerseys too.

I think the "pinstripes" are just the mesh pattern.

I like it - the "Warriors" wordmark harkens back to the glorious Run-TMC days, and the arrowhead's a nice touch that reminds me of the early Philly/San Francisco unis & warmups.

agreed. but i hope not, as they're missing a great opportunity to make a THE CITY yellow alt that would be awesome. the above pic looks like a step back to the mid-90s design of the arching script, which was awful. also, pinstripes? why?!

I wonder if they went away from the yellow the city type jersey because of the winter court jersey is yellow with the bridge on it. Yellow jersey with pinstripes will just make me think of the pacers every time I see it.

The adidas Revolution 30 Miami HEAT Trophy Ring Banner Swingman Jersey is an exact replica of the jerseys the HEAT will be wearing on opening night 2012.

So the NBA took their old NBA Championship logo, and lets teams who won, wear it for a few games to start the next season? k...

From Heat press release (some of which might affect the league):

Trophy / Ring / Banner Ceremony Uniform

As the reigning NBA Champion, the Miami HEAT will wear a special version of its home white uniform for the Opening Night Trophy / Ring / Banner ceremony and game. As is customary for the defending champion in the NBA, the team uniform will feature gold trim elements outlining the team name, along with the Larry O’Brien Trophy affixed to the right shoulder of the uniform and on the back of the warm-up jacket.

White Hot

In a nod to the immensely successful and nationally recognized White Hot playoff campaigns that preceded the team’s two championships in 2006 and 2012, the HEAT will unveil their White Hot uniform on Saturday, November 24 when the team takes on the Cleveland Cavaliers at AmericanAirlines Arena. The team will re-christen the traditional “Black Friday” date as “White Hot Friday” and will make the uniform available at retail for the first time on the same day as the game. The White Hot uniform is bold and sleek, an all-white garment with white team name, numeral and logo elements, highlighted by black trim. The White Hot uniform will become the team’s Saturday game uniform for the season, with two other nationally-televised home game dates included amongst the wearing schedule. Below is a complete list of the dates the HEAT will wear the White Hot uniform:

November 24 Saturday Cleveland Cavaliers

December 1 Saturday Brooklyn Nets

December 6 Thursday New York Knicks

December 8 Saturday New Orleans Hornets

December 15 Saturday Washington Wizards

December 22 Saturday Utah Jazz

February 10 Sunday Los Angeles Lakers

April 6 Saturday Philadelphia 76ers

NBA Christmas Day – BIG Color

As the marquee match-up in the NBA’s traditional Christmas Day slate of game broadcasts, when the HEAT take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a rematch of the 2012 NBA Finals, the team will be sporting a special red Christmas Day uniform. As part of the NBA’s BIG Color initiative, all teams participating in a Christmas Day game will wear a new uniform highlighting one of their team colors. The HEAT red Christmas Day uniform is all red with white trim outlining just the team name, player name and numerals. The Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami HEAT game will air on ABC on Christmas Day starting at 5:30p.m.

Red 25th Anniversary Hardwood Classics

To commemorate the franchise’s 25th Anniversary season, the team will unveil a special Red 25th Anniversary Hardwood Classics uniform. This red throwback uniform pays homage to the mid 1990’s HEAT teams and features chunky numbers with a large drop-shadow and a scoop neck silhouette, as well as the original design of the “flaming T’ element in the HEAT word mark. While the team will be recognizing its anniversary throughout the season, the HEAT will dedicate the month of February to wearing the Red Hardwood Classics uniform. Each home and road game during the month of February (with the exception of the February 10th game) will showcase the HEAT wearing the Red Hardwood Classic uniform.

In addition to wearing the 25th Anniversary uniform, each of the Hardwood Classics games will include a variety of special in-game features and activities which will celebrate the team’s history. The Red Hardwood Classics home game schedule includes:

February 4 Monday Charlotte Bobcats

February 6 Wednesday Houston Rockets

February 8 Friday Los Angeles Clippers

February 12 Tuesday Portland Trail Blazers

February 24 Sunday Cleveland Cavaliers

February 26 Tuesday Sacramento Kings

25th Anniversary Patch

As a season-long acknowledgement of the HEAT’s tenure in Miami, the team will wear a special 25th Anniversary patch on selected team uniforms this season. The special patch will be seen on the following on-court uniform elements:

  • Home White Jersey
  • Road Black / Road Red Jersey
  • Alternate Road Red Jersey
  • Red Hardwood Classic Jersey
  • All Warm-up Jackets

A couple of interesting things:

1. The Heat are only wearing the 90's throwbacks in Feb. I wonder if this is league-wide for those.

2. They're calling the "Winter Court" jerseys "BIG Color." Haven't heard that one yet.

3. No mention of the BIG Color jerseys being worn for every weekend home game after Christmas, like we'd heard before. However, we've seen versions of them for every team, if I'm not mistaken, and not every team plays on Christmas.

I actually like the idea of the defending NBA Champion wearing a Larry O'Brian Trophy patch on their jersey until someone else wins the title.

I do too, to a sense. It just seems lazy that they use their old "Championship patch/logo" though. I would prefer they use it all season. Like the Cards, and SFGiants have done in baseball.

I would be in favor of that too. Kind of like how they do it in European soccer.

Does it mean colour vs. colour games as Rockers, Cavs and Kings are also expected to wear their away throwbacks this season? Apparently, it won't be possible against the 6ers.

On the hill we view the silence of the valley, Called to witness cycles only of the past, And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark

Close to the edge, down by the river, Down at the end, round by the corner

Seasons will pass you by, Now that it's all over and done, called to the seed, right to the sun, Now that you find now that you're whole

Seasons will pass you by, I get up, I get down -Yes
