Why I think NBA jerseys are being ruined

[Harry Sax]

A lot of those 90s jerseys were considered trash until the 80s/90s babies got nostalgic for em

Not the Philly Iversons tho

One of the coldest sets ever

Just going to say it.

Soccer (football) > Basketball jerseys

Yes, I know there are ads on them that are much bigger, but generally just think they look better.

Soccer has the best jerseys by far

They actually allow soccer clubs to be innovative and creative with they designs.

American sports jerseys are always bland

Especially the past 20 years

I do like the old Charlotte Hornets jersey tho.

 

[GoldenGlove]

He elegantly explained the shift in the designs going from mascot/team name focused to city focused and still somehow misses why that would potentially translate to more sales.

More people are going to resonate with a city across a jersey than a team name.

I think they're doing it right; do the retro jerseys in spurts (complete with court change) while still staying current with minimalistic and city-centric designs

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Bruh you have a soccer oriented avi. You're bias is way too strong lol.

The problem with soccer jerseys (which you kind of acknowledged) is the ads are too damn big. Just look at this disgusting shyt. If I didn't know the name of the team, I would think they play for TeamViewer.

At one point as a youngin I literally thought Fly Emirates was a team.

They ruined the Lakers jerseys with the banana yellow. I used to feel like I was watching royalty when the gold jerseys were at home. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Barring a few exceptions, the jerseys leauge wide from '95 - '12 were infinitely better than the bullshyt they're pumping out now. Don't care what any of you Joe Cool New School negros say.

 

[Ozymandeas]

I agree. I noticed it on 2K. The away teams say the City name and the home teams say the Mascot name.

There's no creativity whatsoever.

The biggest problem is that there's too little variance imo.

If the minimalist designs were kept mainly for the away jerseys, they could try to be a bit more flexible with the main and city ones.

Like for example, this bullshyt right here:

Straight up palette swap status. The lack of trim lines makes them even worse. I'm not sure they even kept the design over how badly it was received or something. fukk Utah anyway.

With most teams in the league running similar-ish designs, the problem just gets even worse.

This ain't even minimalistic design, it's just barebones. This is what a good example of minimalistic design looks like:

 

[Ribbs]

Feels like every corporation from fast food to fashion to now sports have been going the minimalist route for the last few years.

 

[staticshock]

Hawks minimalist uniforms are clean as hell especially in person

 

[Ohene]

Ehh it's all business

that simple really

nike wants ppl to buy new jerseys every year

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

They cut back on the design so there’s more space to add a papa Johns logo at any point in the season

This comment deserves more attention.

I fukk with these heavy. Probably my favorite uniforms after Charlotte. I just wish we get rid of those stupid ass CHA purple uniforms and replace it with the new design.

Absolute lack of creativity and risk-taking. How you're high end luxury company and your logo looks random af
