New Alternate Uniforms for next season?
Posted: Fri Mar 4, 2016 9:03 pm
Hello. Just passing along information I learned today while I was at the Orlando Magic team shop on Church right outside of the Amway Center - don't shoot the messenger:
First of all, I was there yesterday too. Nice manager told me the league still has yet ANOTHER season under Adidas. So next season ('16-'17) will still be under Adidas for NBA uniforms, warm-ups, etc. Nike takes over 2 seasons from now ('17-'18), and will take over everything, even socks (Stance is the sock provider currently).
I asked if we would be switching uniforms for next season and I was told that there was no news on that yet, but that there would be an alternate black uniform. I believe someone else alluded to that in the speculation thread some weeks back? Either way, I was told that there was no photo or rendition of it that the employees have seen yet. They were told it would replace the ugly, grey, sleeved uniforms that we currently use. The ones that look like regular, grey, sleeve-less uniforms with blue electrical tape holding the unnecessary sleeves on.
The rumored alternate uniform is said to be a sleeve-less, dark grey (not necessarily black), no pinstripes alternate. No word on lettering or numbering changing, although as the previous poster (I already alluded to) mentioned that the uniform number would be above the team name towards the side? I'm not sure. Also told that if the uniform changed, it would be after NEXT season when Nike takes over. That would mark our 9th season with the current scheme.
I wouldn't be surprised if we wait TWO seasons when it becomes our 30th anniversary. Remember, the current scheme was first introduced with a 20th-anniversary patch as modeled by the overrated, idiot below. Either way, happy Friday. Again, don't shoot the messenger. Just passing along information.
Anyone here ever create their own ideas for a new uniform? Any graphic designers in here ever give it a go?
