    Anyone else really bothered or at least surprised that we still have not changed the number font to match the letters? Its not even about that, it’s that we still have the same number font since 2011 - and ironically did not match the letters whereas before (2003-2010) it did - and we’ve changed look completely!

    A re-design but you keep the number font, one that you stole / copied from the Pacers in the first place?! To me it’s so infuriating that professional designers get away with such lazy and lackadaisical work. I won’t buy any jersey with such a mismatch and out of principle, which almost made me buy those NASA white ones when we had Westbrook.

    Still don't know why we can't go back to the championship era jerseys with a slight modern flair. Like it's so ****ing simple.

    That’s not the point though and I actually find it odd that in all these years I’ve pointed it out, not many people have acknowledged it. And when they do, it’s not an issue or I get mocked for caring.

    So please, can people at least recognize what I’m saying as it’s 100% factual in terms of the font not changing with the redesign and how it is exactly like the Pacers had back then?

    Actually, I'm much more concerned about the number of wins.

    pic is not details, but even the retro reds have red pinstripes. Sublte. Great touch of blending our retro/nostalgia clutchc roots with a modern timeless design. Even the pajamas are here.

    I'm all for it, get this, tilman and you take my cash[​IMG][​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    It would be the perfect time for a logo/Jersey rebranding. Black yellow red white. We have awesome colors for a team we just don’t know to use them.

    It seems appropriate for completely new jerseys that happen back to the old days. A new era for sure.

    Thanks for the emoji. I'd have stewed on that response for hours without it. :D
