NBA Changes 2013-14 Season

[chakfu]

They seriously found a way to work two tone blue into the ASG logos???

[CubsFanBudMan]

why adidas?

"Green" wasn't available either, apparently. I used to have that problem when ordering those reversible mesh tanks for Gus Macker 3-on-3 tourneys from our local sports store. We wanted reversible red and black, they only had red and white. We wanted black and teal, they only had black and white. Then Eastbay came along and they had any combo you could think of. Hey, adidas should have just ordered from Eastbay!

Anyway, I take it all back. Adidas was right. The sleeves revolutionized the NBA... Summer League.

[AAO]

Does not beat the 2008 ASG NOLA branding. 2008 was arguably the best ASG branding the NBA has ever seen.

Did Rare do the branding for the 2014 ASG as well?

What's the reason behind the oddly extra-angular fleur de lis? Looks like paper mache.

Like everyone else, the negative space star is not working.

The side-view bird is random, signifies the Pelicans as the host team, but a whole different view of the bird is much.

Summer League jerseys have been black v. white for a few years now.

That said, the sleeves look horrendous. Especially with the V-collar. It looks like a bunch of hipsters running around.

AMEN. the '08 asw branding is arguably the best piece of NBA-related branding ever.

Ben tells me that he (and RARE) did not work on these, so adidas likely did them. I've also seen that MEANS (the CCSLSC-er) worked on the "street sign" logotype.

[DPHF]

The negative space star is superfluous and kind of an eyesore.

The pelican star looks great. If they got rid of the star, NOLA could use something like that as an alternate. It looks like a 'P.' Better than the fleur-de-bird thing.

Ahem, I believe you mean 'Bird-de-Lis.'

Adidas. Culprit. What's the reason for the odd-shape and extra angles of the fleur-de-lis in this logo? The street sign is nice.

Also, the ASG uniforms in the NBA section have not been updated since 2009. Anyone have any good graphics of the 2010-2013 ASG uniforms (paging ColorWerx...)?

Sixers Summer League uniforms should be their jerseys during the regular season. Perfect IMO.

[tjkvb23]

why adidas?

Real question is why can't Kelly Olynyk get some newer Kobe's...eh?

It's nice to know your standards of a "perfect" basketball jersey are really, really, really, really low.

Those summer league unis are pretty awful, from the rec league one-color font to the 1997-inspired shoulder color blocks that looked great in college and high school. I think I've seen non-competitive teams from the local Y with better unis than those pictured.

Which begs this question: When is NBA contract with Adidas expire? I believe it is coming up very soon. I hope the NBA starts negotiating to other brands, preferrably Nike. At least Nike makes uniforms that are legit, and less of an eyesore than what Adidas makes. Adidas can't make a great uniform when its life depends on it (eg. Michigan Wolverines football and basketball jerseys).

I miss the 90s and early 00s uniforms when NBA uniforms were simple and not over the top. But now its just hard to look at on television.Those so called revolution 30 jerseys (which Adidas call it) are just bad. And now they expand to short sleeve jerseys? Give me a break. Hopefully, the NBA will kick Adidas out to the curb once their contract expires with them.

[Tracy MidGrady]

What? the 90s had plenty of over the top jerseys, as someone who isn't a big fan of Adidas I don't mind the look of revolution template, its the apparel that's mostly bad, as for summer league its a good time to experiment

[IceCap]

What? I'm not sure what that means.

The 11-year contract runs until 2017.

Say what now?

[IceCap]

Yeah, I love the FloJo Pacers look abd those 90s Suns uniforms, but they were the exception, not the rule. On the whole the NBA of the 1990s was full of terrible design.

I thought I heard it was 2017 when it expires. Anyway, I don't know what you expect after that. I seriously doubt Nike would take over the whole league..they would only want the money makers. The only way I see Nike back in the game is if there are multiple suppliers again. I could see UA making a push to get in and I wouldn't even mind seeing Champion getting back in. I guess what bothers me now is more or less the exact same template being used for everything. Makes things too boring and bland. I'm not saying go back to the '90s over the top designs, but things could look a lot better then they do now.

Riiiight... So that's why they turned down the Browns and Jaguars in the NFL?

Adidas why do you hate common sense and good taste so much?
