this is now a thing

or it will be as of sometime this week

apparently the sock-esque protuberance is a "calf-length compression sleeve" that i guess is built into these shoes

yeah durant wore them for warmups but hasn't warn them in a game yet iirc

Wouldn't that cause more knee injuries / wear+tear?

not sure why it would? just socks more or less.

I remember reading somewhere that the more you immobilize the ankles, the more stress goes into the knees. So if they're just compression socks, maybe not?

this is going to end with players in full body compression iron man/ greenscreen suits up to their necks and in 2023 some young hotshot will start covering his head and then THAT'S gonna be a thing

durant looks like a double amputee there

logo patch approved. supposedly gonna bring an extra 100 milli + in per year.

BREAKING: Adam Silver said it's likely Hornets will have Brand Jordan logo on jerseys in 2017-18, not the Nike logo like rest of league.

love my brands

wow p nice imo

Font is ugly but otherwise looks pretty good IMO.

im kinda feeling the font tho wldve been better if they went all the way blocky for that 8-bit look

The crown is hella bizarre to me

its supposed to depict depth but just ends up looking weird and abstract

file under inspired by stussy

http://i.imgur.com/aQqF3l9.png

unbelievable, they wearing them at home too!

that crown reminds me of

http://i.imgur.com/qmzMUij.jpg

appropriate to the kings basketball organisation

with the full name, i like it but with just "SAC" it looks a bit like a distended testicle and once seen that cannot be unseen

buzz city

pls stop

Really like the color scheme of the buzz city unis. Actually like everything about those minus the sleeves and the fact that they say buzz city.

guy who doesn't live in Charlotte: hey I'm thinking of visiting Charlotte, what's the most notable thing about your town
Charlotte guy: we have so many bees that we call it buzz city. We love our fantastic bees.

Bees are v important haven't u heard they are all dying

its official

nice, i like it a lot more with the white outline

interested to see what they come up w for unis

yeah it makes way more sense with the white outline. i thought the crown looked random as fuck otherwise.

http://i.imgur.com/cYsXmUL.png

Very nice! I mean the logo, not the tattoos.

lol http://newsok.com/article/5495252

russ is so weird

the weirdest

cn we talk abt those uniforms for a sec theyre like the least basketball uniform uniforms ever they look like a white tee, i think they shd go all the way w it tho all white except team/name/number

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CheG_TyUoAAXmEU.jpg

lmao love it, they should all wear damn daniels with it as well

those white ones are prob the best okc unis but the stripes on the pants are nonsensical. it's like someone designed good uniforms and was like "wait these are for okc they have to be hideous in some way"

those road blues are horrible too

Black Lives Matter is on the back of every Premiership jersey back here in Blighty

yeah i was gonna say, seems like one obvious thing they would do

If you’re wondering what I’m gonna put on the back of my jersey it’ll be “Trillion”.

— Spencer Dinwiddie (@SDinwiddie_25) June 29, 2020

A lot of issues at the moment. I think the fact that the country is 26 (ironically) Trillion dollars in debt is high on the list

— Spencer Dinwiddie (@SDinwiddie_25) June 29, 2020

oh no

lol what a dumbass

gonna go out on a limb here and say this isnt the last idiotic and/or horrible one of these someones cooking up

he should get an electronic debt calculator sewn into his jersey

BREAKING spencer dinwiddie traded to the atlanta deficit hawks

lol

Spencer Dimwittie

mrs bison adds"he was traded from the brooklyn debts"

thank god

those work.

they shd never deviate from that color scheme again

impressive amount of restraint in those

Normalize coaches in slacks and a polo.

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) July 26, 2020

It’s true tho, time for the mandatory suit to go

im torn on one hand the suit is kinda a silly concept but its also such an established part of the look of the game, also the coaches look like shit in their polos, i think keep the suit it give a sense of occasion

i think if youre gonna get rid of the suit tho coaches should wear warmups instead of dork ass polos and khakis

No way, make them wear ceremonial robes

Not wearing a suit makes it look like their coaching either the Olympics or NCAA. It conjures up images of Bobby Knight, which is never good.

yeah, it makes me think of knight, too. idk, i'm fine with suits, i see enough biz-cazh in real life as it is.

the suits add lil bit of glitz a lil glamour, the glow of a big playoff game with all the celebs in attendance, something thats fading from popular entertainment, see boxing compared to mma for instance

also it’s more flexible now with some guys forgoing a tie or doing a sportcoat. i think that’s fine but polos suck on everyone.

no one should look like they just came off the golf course, it’s really one of the worst looks

theyre saying during this broadcast that brad stevens wants to wear a track suit which is better

CEREMONIAL ROBES

http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1bUAAMXQTQpR-I4t/s-l300.jpg

I am def not in favor of polos I think they should go all denim

robes are only for the coach of the Phoenix Sunn o)))

lol

Miami's Jimmy Butler wanted to wear a jersey with no social justice message and no name -- completely blank except for his No. 22 -- as the ultimately expression of equality. The league would not allow it

— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) August 1, 2020

loooool that is some jimmy butler shit

i'm gonna jump to my man's defense here by noting that on the broadcast lisa salters explained that jimmy wanted to make the statement that he is no different than the average black man. he actually came out onto the floor w/ the no name jersey on before heading back to the bench and switching

i think it was, in his mind, a black lives matter protest, not an all lives matter one

i figured, its just *the way* he chose to do it was v jimmy

i think it was a cool but also very jimmy butler idea, visually especially i like it, and it was even more so a very league thing to refuse him, corporate mediated symbolic protest and so forth

The NBA has approved all teams to place an additional sponsorship asset on practice jerseys for use during team practices and shootarounds, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
