The NBA is rarely boring, even when there are no games to play. There is still a lot to like about the offseason – Twitter beefs, free agency drama, commercial chatter and fallout, burner accounts, and so on. There is something for everyone.
As a sports fashion enthusiast, the offseason is also a wonderful time for new uniforms. And with the league that has standardized the four sets of uniforms after switching to Nike, there has been a lot of uniform movement in the NBA landscape lately. Some teams have chosen to go in a completely different direction while others have made (or will be making) subtle adjustments or additions to their lineup of uniforms for next season.
All new uniforms have not yet been officially unveiled, but examine those who have been, and put them away from the best to the worst.
1A. Los Angeles Lakers (Icon)
The Lakers are one of the first franchises in basketball – rich in history, tradition and success. They also have one of the best color schemes and logos in basketball so they also have a history of great uniforms. And while the modernized uniforms that were introduced in the era of Shaq / Kobe were certainly not ugly, they eventually became a bit bland and suffered from not having a more classic feel. (Disclaimer: I typically have dislike for sweaters with a boom.)
It was extremely smart to press the refresh button at the beginning of the LeBron James era in Los Angeles, and it was even smarter to revisit the rich history of the team and draw classic elements of a great Lakers jersey to inspire the new look. The new "Showtime" -inspired united deliver.
I will give Gold Icon a slight advantage simply because the Lakers tradition of wearing gold at home (especially when most teams wore exclusively white at home) is One of the coolest things in the franchise. The gold look has become a basic element of the Lakers and it is hard to imagine that they are moving away from the gold jersey at this point.
Fortunately, the new update does justice. It 's clean like hell and they play gold, purple and white well each other in the striping. That's what a Lakers jersey should look like.
1B. Los Angeles Lakers (Association)
When the Lakers introduced a white version of the modern-style jersey in the early 2000s, they were mistaken. Although it's a nice sweater and it's not particularly ashamed of the team's mark, the Lakers felt strangers to wearing white instead of their usual gold at home . Again, the gold houses are part of what makes the Lakers feel special.
But over the years, the white gaze of the Lakers has become more acceptable. It may be because we got used to it, or as the NBA teams started to introduce more and more jerseys into their spin, or that the Lakers unveiled worse looks (and 39, ie their black jerseys). At this point, it just seems to wait and accept a white jersey with the entire Lakers.
It gets a lot easier when they are as hot as this one.
They're just as good – dare I say, maybe even better than those – the gold version. The stripe is superb. The wordmark and the numbers seem to stand out a bit more on the white jersey than on the gold.
For whatever reason, this white jersey looks like a real Lakers jersey, not just a classic look. But even though it may sound a little better, tradition makes it hard to say that it's better than gold.
2. Denver Nuggets (Statement)
Looks like the Nuggets have changed their look a little over the last decade, and they decided to make a change again this summer – this time rather drastically. They move away from powdery blue as the main color and adopt a navy, red and yellow color that resembles their appearance from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Overall, the logo Nuggets was rather disappointing, but there was a uniform in their set of three-looks that stood out – this statement very different.
It recalls the current Indiana Pacers uniforms in that it has a bit of a classic feel mixed with modern elements that make it a unique hybrid. Like the United Pacers, the circular wordmark around the number on the front of the torso is a cool feature, but the highlight of the uniform could be the shorts, which features the miners' logo with a silhouette of the mountains Rockies.
The new set of Denver uniforms is everywhere, but at least they did well with this one.
3. Charlotte Hornets (Classic)
Maybe it's a hot catch, but I have the impression that the classic Charlotte Hornets look is a little overrated. It looks like nostalgia is falsifying things because there is a certain level of comfort in familiarity, and the Hornets have been generous in feeding this hunger for nostalgia in recent years.
A year after bringing their 90s teal original on a limited basis, the Hornets announced that they would use the white iteration of these 90s classics as swimsuits. next season. It's a logical move, as the Hornets will bring it back as part of their 30th anniversary. They are doubling nostalgia, so to speak, as they will play on a return game design when they wear the classic jerseys.
While I think the weather has made a lot of hearts come closer to the classic Hornets look, it's a pretty cool jersey and it'll be cool to see it revisited this season. However, I still think we have already seen the much superior version of this classic look with teal last year.
4. Denver Nuggets (Icon)
I do not think this Nuggets jersey is terrible, but it's not spectacular either. I like his intentions – a simple and minimalist look that tries to make white and yellow pop on the navy blue jersey – but the execution is not great. It is not surprising that I do not like the boom of the boom, but it also seems to me that the white stripe is too heavy and could have been completed with yellow. The wordmark is pretty generic and looks like something you would see from an intermediate level college team.
Once again, I am impressed by the shorts but, overall, this look is nothing special.
Denver Nuggets (Association)
This one feels right everywhere. All my reviews from above are also true with these jerseys, but the way the navy, red and yellow color is arranged in this jersey gives the impression of being a Cavalier uniform (not a compliment), but worse.
It seems that the Nuggets are constantly going through a crisis of identity, looking for a look that satisfies them and helps them to settle for their place in this league. Unfortunately, they always seem to miss the target. Maybe one day they will understand, but that look is probably not going to do the job. They would probably be better served just to go with the rainbow skyline to watch full time.
6. Los Angeles Lakers (Statement)
In fact, I do not think the purple uniform of the Lakers is the worst jersey to be unveiled this summer, but it's certainly the most frustrating and c & # 39; That's why he's so low. All the Lakers had to do was follow the pattern that had been defined by their golden and white iterations and the purple version would have been incredible. The three looks would have been exceptional.
But they had to go for the record for an inexplicable reason.
The purple statement jerseys are spoiled by the black stripe that goes down along the uniform – one item that does not exist in the other. two versions. Fortunately.
It 's so useless and irrelevant and, therefore, the uniform looks really silly once you see it from the side. It looks like the side of the jerseys is cut off and the players wear them like an apron with a black tank underneath. I hope this will be corrected at some point.
