    And that fan is actually on the thinner side. America isn't.

    That's a huge relief, the grey was disgusting.

    Why doesn't the league just bring back real athletic gear that actually enhance a athletes play?

    short shorts and tight fitting jerseys! it works for Olympic athletes. Ditch the thug look and the baggy pants

    It doesn't even have to be 80s short but the baggy clothing, sleeves, and pads just weigh you down and restrict movement!

    Isn't that the direction it's heading in? The jerseys are already smaller and will only get smaller once the sleeved jerseys are in. It's only a matter of time before the shorts get smaller too, IMO, especially under Adidas. Most of the shorts they put out are shorter in length than Nike. Even their bball shorts are on the shorter side.

    I actually think players look slimmer in sleeves for whatever reason.


    When Warriors wore them, was surprised to see how they looked more like lanky school kids than manly athletes. And not even talking about Steph Curry, the other guys like David Lee, Bogut and Klay Thompson

    I was against sleeves. But I think theyll catch on in look. Im okay with it just being another option and another look, giving the fans something to like. Im against how its all about merchandise sales and obvious attempt at expanding to get future corporate sponsors onto the unis.
