2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

Look at those Thunder Walmart/Eastbay jerseys its such a shame we have to see Durant & Westbrook play in that garbage.

Their logo is trash too, it's a smack in the face to anyone with with a sense in design.

Truth.

And their colors are blue and orange... Really?

The only person here that thinks OJ Mayo is worth ****

Should just go with this style of jersey, with just OKC on the front (not the color scheme):

The blue in the Thunder's jersey is from the state flag

Spoiler

The Oklahoma state flag honors more than 60 groups of Native Americans and their ancestors. The blue field comes from a flag carried by Choctaw soldiers during the civil war. The center shield is the battle shield of an Osage warrior. It is made of buffalo hide and decorated with eagle feathers.

. Presti, our GM, is from the Spurs umbrella (boring, simplistic) and everything the organization does, especially from a design standpoint, havily leans that way from the slogans, to the commercials, etc. As vanilla and non offensive as possible, sans for the Thunder girls who ironically show probably too much skin and do straight stripper routines at times. All those corny *** playoff shirts they give us are like Thunder is team, team is community, We are team, Thunder is community, We are Thunder, Lets Go Thunder, Team is 18206, etc.

if you hate our jerseys though, you have to also hate the Mavs, Grizzlies, and Bobcats too which are 95% or more the exact same, they even recycling fonts. Adidas and their "templates"

Thats really what it is at the end of the day. OKC and a bunch of other teams deserve better jerseys.

Adidas is horrible at designing NBA jerseys man.

 

[sea manup]

blame adidas?

 

[datznasty]

I imagine their design department just has MS Paint, template.jpg like this, a few preffered colors already teed up into the tool bar, and the fill tool, and like 3 fonts. "Need a new jersey for the Bobcats? Hold on one second," Few clicks and done.

Those Sonics jerseys

can't wait to see the new Hornet jerseys.
Anything will be better than any of the Bobcat jerseys :x

Well... Anything except something similar to the Pelicans jerseys. Whoever designed those needs to be fired :x

I'm not a big fan of any of these jerseys though the Mavs and Grizzlies have slightly more distinctive colors.

I did notice the "We Are Committed" shirts which seemed like a weird motto for a basketball game

blame adidas?

Are those real? If so what is the story behind the checker board print?

They are real, NC is a NASCAR hotbed

 

[antidope]

And the Hawks too dont forget them. Awful Jerseys

Oh ok. Yikes. They should have made a whole new jersey with the racing theme instead of that. Very lazy IMO.
