    I think they're pretty nice. The numbers seem overly large to me at first glance though.

    If there's one thing adidas does really well it's appliques. They always look class.

    I'm with you 100%. Since the Rockets have went with the new red and silver jerseys, I have not bought one single piece of merchandise. My ex GF bought me a hat, never wore it. I have a t-shirt that my Auntie bought me for Christmas one year, and it still has the tags on it in my dresser drawer.

    As to the new Hornets jerseys, they look funky. I'm not a fan of the new styles of jerseys they are coming up with. I prefer the classic look like Brooklyn, that someone mentioned earlier.

    Why would they not bring back the pinstripes?!

    I like them. The cool color scheme makes up for the subpar lettering.

    NBA Logo not on the front but the back, check

    No pinstripes but tight around the neck and arms like a 2k create a jersey/wnba jersey, check

    No border on the numbers along with them being different colors, check

    Im not liking these as much, especially with changing the teal

    Interesting to note that the design was done in collaboration with Nike because of the Michael Jordan connection.

    Also interesting is the fact that the league stipulated the design couldn't be a straight up replica of the old jerseys for reasons of merchandise revenue distribution with the rest of the league. It seems as though the entire league shares retro jersey revenue so the NBA wanted in on that.

    The plain jerseys and court really have killed the whole hornets comeback for me

    That court is awesome! Much better than i expected with the latest trend of light coloured wood and the paint area not in colours. Similar to their old one, except for the purple and pattern of wood which both look dope. Also teal around the court is sweet!

    Love what they did by getting the Hornets name and following it up by changing their jerseys and court to reflect a new vision of the past. Now if only a certain Texas basketball team can do them same.

    Yup.


    Wish the spurs would go back to their taco cabana colors.

    I like the court design. Way better than the whole three point line painted in two tone colors.

    The court is okay. At least its not totally plain. The jersey's on the other hand, the NBA with this extra clean thing it has going on sucks.
