NBA Changes 2013-14 Season

[arcane]

The 2013 Draft hats are up on the NBA Store. They've moved away from generic typefaces and are using the teams' wordmarks:

I find these draft caps boring and the Kings one looks off with the photoshop placement of the word Sacramento being too high on the hat

The iverson look was all Pat Croce I'm pretty sure, also he's always been into pirates (just read he opened a pirate museum even) so yea, there's your reason, the 76ers decked out in pirate themed colors cause of pat croce.

I've actually been to that pirate museum. It's in Key West, Florida. It's really something else.

I remember reading that Pat Croce was also going to eventually change team name to Philadelphia Pirates. Which im glad didn't happen.

That black and orange Suns logo isn't half bad actually. I'd be okay with that being the real thing.

Here's a Suns jersey that's being floated, probably a fake, but seems very plausible. I've always been a sucker for fauxbacks but I think this would be going too far.

I am actually in love with that

[Cujo]

99.9% sure to be fake -- But 99.9% better than most new NBA uniforms 2005-present. (Still needs purple, dammit!)

[C's]

I'd love to see a black version of that.

But OH MY GOD THE ARMHOLES

[Burkell007]

and thats how you know its sooooo fake, but its still be ok if they fixed that

The armholes aren't the reason its fake. They just edited a photo of the Knicks jersey.

Like 20% of that logo would be covered by the shorts.

I think if they just tweaked the current set it could actually work. Here is a quick mockup, I think the name and number could use outlines which would already upgrade the set.

[IceCap]

This may belong in the Unpopular Opinions thread, but I think the 76ers should opt to use "PHILA" on all their jerseys. "PHILADELPHIA" is a bit to unmanageable in wordmark form, so the abbreviation works. And "SIXERS" as always bothered me because it's not actually the team name. It's like the Lightning's alternate sweaters with "BOLTS" across the front, or the Senators' old alternates that used "SENS".

[Old School Fool]

Well "PHILA" definitely has some history with the team, so it's not like it's a bad move if they move to it.

The only thing missing is an updated logo, and the set is near perfect.

I've been searching REALLY hard for a reason to become a Suns fan now that I live here and if they went with that I'd have my reason. But of course they'll go with something completely generic and boring and everyone will be disappointed and clamoring for the past.

It's what we do best lol.

Yea I agree, the logo should be updated, even if they stick with the same concept and just change the look and feel of it.

What's bad about the Sixers' logo? I love it.

The trendy thing would be too simplify and drop the basketball; ironic that they did the opposite by adding the square and Philadelphia. Personally I hate the simplification of primary logos to cap/sleeve type emblems, and I don't really like the transparent logos without a solid shape background. Probably goes back to trying to cut them out of magazines and catalogs as a kid.
