My snap reaction was negative to the blue and black mixed jersey, but it grew on me almost immediately and is now probably my favorite of the three.

I'll just start with the font. It's not it.

LOVE the logo, the pinstripes , the colours and the stars in the wording.

Theres something about the font that isn't quite sitting with me, something too corporate/ PowerPoint. Can't put my finger on it.

Love the primary logo. People just don't like the font, which can be modified.

Hate the secondary logo. Looks like the Suns logo only blue.

I'll have to see the court during play to make a decision.

I love the White and Black jerseys. The Blue jersey is weird because of the font.

Most nba rebrands are just rehashed versions of something from past. I like that they changed at least one a lot.

I love those old and wild ideas like Raptors coming up with giant T rex ball handling , or Vancouver Grizzlies with damn bear on the side or Hawks with Hawk holding ball.

Magic 1993, 76ers 2001 one, Wolves one during KG's time with that wild font were my favorites.

At least NBA gave up on regular shirts for Christmas.


btw as part of a rebranding, why don't nba teams hire some young rap/trap guy to make some song for team anthem like something like Black& Yellow, some upbeat thing to pump up before games to get fans hyped. Some rhythm that fans can clap hands with :dontknow:

The black really quickly grew on me when I thought about how it'd look on the court. The "Orlando" on the blue certainly could've been better but the in-person photos don't look as bad as the digital photos do. White looks great.

I wish they ditched the black circle for the logo and just went with the ball and stars and simplified it with the wordmark. That NBA "rule" of logos needing to be seals now actually tanked that potential design hard.

My reaction exactly. I didn’t get what was going on until seeing the track suit homage. Now it’s my favorite.

So many rebrands are vanilla and as safe as possible and that jersey said F it let’s cook.

The thing that’s interesting is much of the negative feedback you can answer with “it’s an NBA mandate now”. The clock is actually ticking for teams like the Bulls who will be forced to add that circle crap around their iconic logo.

This is pretty much perfect to me. I’m really happy with how this worked out. That Jordan jersey threw me initially but it really does work and feels pretty innovative. Love the new ball logo too.

I like the font on the wordmark (black and white) but not on the jersey itself. Something got lost in translation there.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.
