From MTV.com http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1480965/20031205/p_diddy.jhtml?headlines=true Dallas Mavericks Say Diddy's Designing Their Duds _Jay-Z may rap about not wanting to wear jerseys anymore because he's over 30, but 30-plus P. Diddy doesn't think there's anything wrong with throwing on sporting garb, especially if he's the one designing it. Diddy will design the Dallas Mavericks' alternate uniforms for the 2004-2005 season, representatives of the NBA team said Friday (December 5). "The future is now," Mavericks merchandising director Tim Henning said from Dallas. "We think he's the perfect designer for this kind of project. He knows design, he knows what's happening in terms of what we think is street-credible. Nobody out there is as equipped as Puff — and Sean John, specifically — to take on a project like this. [People] are wearing uniforms as fashion, and who's the guy on top in urban fashion? P. Diddy." The b-ballers will wear their alternate unis at least 12 times during the season but could sport them on the court more times than that. Henning said the relationship between Diddy and the team began two years ago, when the hip-hop mogul befriended headline-making Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, but it was two weeks ago that the uniform idea really gathered steam. "The relationship could develop into something more significant," Henning said. The two sides are talking about Diddy designing ancillary pieces to accompany the jerseys, such as shooting shirts and shorts. But first the jerseys are expected to be unveiled at the annual Magic fashion convention in February. The jerseys should be available in stores with other NBA attire next fall. Mavericks players will begin wearing their new gear in the 2004 preseason. Henning clarified that the uniforms will not bear the Sean John clothing line logo because of Reebok's licensing deal with the NBA, but he said there'll be some element on the garments that identifies them as Sean John. Neither Diddy nor his spokesperson at Bad Boy could be reached at press time, and Diddy's rep at Sean John said he hadn't heard about the Mavericks deal. ________________________________________________ Ok, so... which pop star should design the Rockets' next jerseys?
Ha, that would be great to see Yao Ming in a Muppet-skin rhinestone jersey. I just can't wait to see Shawn Bradley in Sean John.
Well, Mr. Diddy's design couldn't be any worse than those alternate jerseys they wore at the start of this season!
those werent that bad. the rockets need a new jersey design that has more squared letters, to have a more simple and clean look. the jerseys we have right now are ok but i dont like how the letters are pointy, if that makes any sense.
Those silky Grey, brownish, silver alternates looked like Poop. " Those werent that bad" ? They were hideous!
Well, it's a good fit if you think about it, because as we all know the Mavericks are the most hip-hop team in the league.
