Wilt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 If you have Lebron and your only selling a home, road and alt your doing yourself a disservice financially.And that's the problem with the NBA nowadays. It's pretty clear that they, above all others, view the uniform primarily as a money-making opportunity. Take the sleeves, for example. They're going to use the sleeves as ad space once the ads start going on uniforms, and they'll mandate that all teams have sleeved alts as a result. All these random alternates make them look like a minor league.It's all quite ironic considering that the NBA is the only league that won't allow their uniform manufacturer to put their logo on the on-court product.If you hire millionaires, it is natural that the teams try to increase their incomes. I prefer multiple alternates that introducing new set of uniforms every year.When it comes to adidas, they compensate the lack of logo on the uniforms with three stripes all around the warm up gear.

Kevin W. Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's all quite ironic considering that the NBA is the only league that won't allow their uniform manufacturer to put their logo on the on-court product. That was something that was Stern's decision though, so I'd expect the Adidas logo to appear on the unis from next season.Sadly, I think you're right. If you hire millionaires, it is natural that the teams try to increase their incomes.Then why don't you see the other leagues introducing 100,000 alternates every season? The NBA does not have a monopoly on highly-paid players. When it comes to adidas, they compensate the lack of logo on the uniforms with three stripes all around the warm up gear.Those don't get nearly as much TV time as the uniforms, though.

It starts with a few players grumbling about them, then a super star steps up (I even said it would probably be Lebron) and complains, and these stupid T shirts are gone before the end of the season. Hell, after that, I wonder if these will even make it to Christmas.I could almost see a scenario on Christmas where one team simply refuses to wear the sleeved jerseys, or more likely, one big name player is having an off day in a close game and rips/cuts the sleeves off.

wonderbread Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 i don't know about you guys, but i haven't seen a single person wear the sleeved jerseys, for as much as adidas is thinking people would be more likely to buy these i don't think it's working even in that capacity.

shaydre1019 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 If sleeves are gone I guess everybody will like Lebron again.I think most people like him now. It's just that the ones who don't like him hate him.He's just on a different level. What would be a great game for most players is a mediocre game for him. It really has gotten to the point where he doesn't impress anyone unless he puts up at least 40 and a triple double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really has gotten to the point where he doesn't impress anyone unless he puts up at least 40 and a triple double.I was one of those who hated him at first, then gradually started loosening up. I'd probably be closer to liking him than hating him now. But I'm glad he spoke out against sleeves. Someone had to do it, and apparently Steph Curry wasn't enough. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the designs on the sleeved jerseys (I.E. T-Wolves, Suns, Clips) but they would look so much better just like normal jerseys.
