"New" Team USA uniforms

"Through some kind of clothing wizardry, Nike has eliminated more than 13 inches of fabric from a typical basketball jersey, and probably double that when compared to Allan Houston's(notes) tarp-like mid-90s shirt. The back of the jersey will once again feature "Aerographics," which you probably know as those intricately-designed perforations that make it look like everyone has a super sweaty back like Patrick Ewing. And yes, that's two zings on the New York Knicks, who have been the antithesis of on-court aesthetics for two decades running. Make that three.

Aside from the extra tailoring, the jerseys are about the same. The shorts are the big story, as far as international basketball clothing news goes. Thanks to Nike's new Hyperelite design, the shorts are about half as light as a normal basketball short when dry. Get them wet — like, you know, from sweating during a game — and they're even better, weighing less when soaked (10.1 oz.) than a normal pair does when dry (13.6). "

It's interesting to me how the international teams and college teams are going towards a more aerodynamic/lighter uniform, while most of the NBA is still sporting wide and heavy unis. Houston especially. I dont get, personally i think the lighter unis will feel AND look better. The NBA needs to wake up. Hopefully the Rockets address some of this with the minor changes being done for next season.

 

Doubt it, since they are also pretty baggy and as heavy more than likely. i think they just like those better.
