FinsUp1214 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is fantastic news. Sure, you might get the sweatbacks with Nike, but if my two choices are sleeves or sweatbacks ? I'm taking sweatbacks a million times over.I've actually really liked a great deal of Nike basketball designs. I think they could do really well with the NBA. I disagree. The sleeves are absurd, but nobody is mandating teams use them. We haven't yet had a team make a regular game jersey sleeved. We're getting plenty of sleeved alternate crap, but at least it'll be gone by playoff time. However, the sweatback trash would find their way onto most jerseys without many people even noticing. "Sure, Bulls, we kept your jersey the same, but on the back we put this sweet sublimated pattern that represents an Italian beef sandwich." The sweatbacks are more subtle so they'd get to ruin far more jerseys. Over the last decade plus, Adidas has only really ruined classic jerseys to the extent that they stupidly put logos on the back for the Bulls and Celtics.I'm not trying to say that sweatbacks are ideal necessarily, I just hate sleeves so much that if I'm choosing between every team wearing sweatbacks and a few teams here and there with sleeves, I'm choosing sweatbacks. I just feel personally that between the two, as far as basketball aesthetics are concerned, sweatbacks are far less jarring. Teams like Duke still look just fine to me with them, so I 'm not too worried myself. But again, that's just a matter of personal opinion.In any case, I'm just counting down the clock to the (hopefully) death of sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My gut feeling is Under Armor will be making NBA jerseys for the 2017/18 season. Jaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFromMiami Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hmm, still 2 years away, alot can happen. . Just hope manufacterers logo will not be on jersey and shorts But i guess they still will demand $300 for a aut. jersey that´s not even made in the US. . That why i used to stick with NHL jerseys , made in canada, and my favorites: Majestic MLB jerseys, made in the US, allthough Majestic have pulled many boners on me, sewing numbers wrong on the front and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Not all of nike's uniforms have sweatback patterns, and I would guess they wouldn't incorporate them except for a few alternates here and there. Look at all of the new nike hyper elite disruption jerseys from this year, none of them have designs on the sweatbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all of the new nike hyper elite disruption jerseys from this year, none of them have designs on the sweatbacks.I'd bet the sweatbacks are phased out by then. I'm not really a fan, but they never bothered me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Give the contract to UA, I wanna see what they do with a big 4 league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefaniniowa Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Give the contract to UA, I wanna see what they do with a big 4 league.But I have a feeling that in the end, Nike will wind up with the apparel deal, they will pay X amount of money just so UA won't get the contract. That's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my opinion.Maybe but Nike just spent money on re-upping with the NFL. The NBA jersey business is not was it was in the early 2000's.

Shadojoker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hopefully whoever takes over can design a better jersey for Portland Trail Blazers. They vetoed all of Adidas' ideas thats why they never changed. Dont get me wrong they have a classic look but if they used the Rip City jerseys(No sleeves or Rip City just Blazers) as a start id like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my opinion.That's not really true. If Nike can't make x% back...they'll let UA take that risk. Mathematics of real options. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the happiest person if this come true especially the black and gold one.Holy snap. If that were to take the court, I'd be ecstatic. That home uniform especially is absolutely beautiful. Really sharp way to modernize the throwbacks. Heck, I even love the idea of subliminating the raptor on the front of the alternate. Very solid concept!

I'll be the happiest person if this come true especially the black and gold one.Those are beautiful.If Nike gets the contract I could see the big raptor returning in the back sweat pocket (if they still use that template).
