For years I've been wearing sleeved compression shirts for doing martial arts, basketball or almost any sport and they don't restrict movement at all. If you have shoulder problems they seem to help quite a bit. Anyway several NCAA teams have been wearing sleeved jerseys already without problems.
it's like going to a swimming pool with a shirt on! just feels wrong..but maybe bc we're not used to it. A lot of them wear those shirts underneath when they have shoulder issues. they should come with built in pads.
They look good to me, but that's the not the point. If they provide enhanced performance, as advertised, then teams will start adopting it.
Just imagine glen baby davis in it, shaq, felton, asik, cole adrich, and even dmo might look super skinny in them. Mind as well put cycles next to the court.
no...the point is all business. they think fans cannot wear basketball jerseys to many venues because they are sleeveless. This is just to boost sales.
Once a Warrior goes down with a muscle injury and has to test it out on the sidelines on the stationary bike he'll look like this:
Everybody at the gym plays in t-shirts, except for a certain few in jerseys and "skins". Lots of people like the "t-shirt underneath uniform" college/prep school look. It benefits fans to wear them anywhere, gets the chicks to wear them, and it gets more profits for the teams. This just makes sense really. The bad thing is it makes it look less distinguishable from other sports, there's not much "basketball" unique look.
I play in sleeveless shirts -- not jerseys -- only. Don't like playing in t-shirts too much. Restricts your movement and you don't get to show off the guns!
