Conrad. Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Bout time for this I suppose. To start us off, some descriptions from Uni Watch:Last month I had exclusive news on new uni designs being developed for the Nets and Hornets. The same source who provided me with that scoop recently got back in touch with more NBA news, this time regarding a bunch of new uniforms to which he’s had access.Just like last time, it’s not clear whether these new designs are prototypes, or still in development, or what. No visuals, either — just descriptions. Here’s what my source saw:• There was a sleeved Warriors jersey in very dark gray, with a dark gray logo on the front and yellow numbers.• There was another sleeved Warriors jersey (Golden State is apparently trying to set some kind of record in this category), this time in black with red and gold trim, and with Chinese characters on the front where the uni number would normally be.• There was also a Magic jersey that’s essentially the same as their current home jersey, but in gray and with sleeves.• And there was a new edition of the Raptors’ original purple uniform — a throwback for next season, perhaps..?• My source also saw what appeared to be the 2015 All-Star warm-ups. They were black and white, had hoods, and basically had what my source describes as “a boxing look” (which would make sense, because next season’s All-Star Game is being played at Madison Square Garden, which still likes to call itself “the Mecca of Boxing,” even though it hasn’t hosted a fight of any significance in over a decade). The sleeves had patches on the arms for personal achievements — MVP, Rookie of the Year, etc.• Related to the above: There was also a Lakers jersey and a Bulls jersey. Standard tank tops, no sleeves. The Lakers design was very dark gray with a white wordmark and numbers, and the Bulls design was a light silver with red letters and numbers. For reasons not worth explaining here, my source thinks these could be the templates for next year’s All-Star uniforms. If so, that would mean the league is doing something similar to the All-Star concepts recently proposed by Uni Watch reader Scott Moody (but Scott’s color choices for the two conferences were a lot better than dark gray and light silver).As usual, none of that seems appealing.

Burkell007 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Well minus the sleeves the magic one sounds good. Along with the raptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racecarbackwardsisracecar Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 All sounds terrible. So gray is in now? Or it's gray becoming "in" because they are going to be shoving it down our throats? I do like the boxing warm up idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Sounds like evolution of the fad of college teams using gray is influencing NBA teams now. Hand-me-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The only "news" I like was the possible Purple Raptors throwback. Everything else sounds frightening. Don't force my Bulls to wear grey, adidas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wow already lol!! Thanks as always Conrad. Btw what does BFBS means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A kid I used to go to school with had a gray pinstriped Orlando Magic jersey and I was always very jealous of it because it looked great. These will look decidedly less great, because they will have the current wordmark and sleeves, but they do have more potential than the rest of what's mentioned.On another topic, shouldn't we change BFBS, GFGS, and SFSS(Sleeves) to BF$S, GF$S, and SF$S?

There was an article about it back in October. Looks like NBA told them it was too late. Maybe they will get it next year.http://www.sfgate.com/warriors/article/Chinese-New-Year-jersey-in-works-for-Warriors-4905555.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxy8s Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm glad they're doing more for Chinese New Year than placing the Chinese character for "the" in front of "Warriors."Hoping everything else turn out to be false, although the ASG warm ups sound fine.

Digby Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I actually don't hate the idea of recolored team jerseys as All-Star jerseys, and it seems like they'd sell better than your typical "West All-Stars" jersey which I hardly ever see in the wild. Wonder if they're for the Saturday night events, though? Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
