The Magic, Timberwolves and Kings rookies are all donning the new jerseys that their teams will be wearing for the first time next season. Now this is just my personal opinion, but I rank Orlando as the best, then Sacramento, then Minnesota. The Magic's jerseys have a Penny/Shaq/3-D Scott feel, with a modern Dwight Howard/Spiderman touch. I'm digging them.

Rookie Photo Shoot 2008: Live Blog in NBA Blogs in Fan Voice by Dave McMenamin


That's a quote from somebody at the rookie photoshoot.. photos have been coming out today so Im guessing it will be up soon.

They sound awesome!

wowwwww


so excited!!!!!

"We were privy to a sneak peek at one team's new jerseys during the shoot, but like any good secret, we can't tell. The team's rookie -- or was it rookies? -- donned a shirt over the jersey when not in front of one of the backdrops, limiting the exposure of the new uniform until an official unveiling is held. All we can tell you is the new gear was pretty sharp. "

that's from a couple years ago though.. so hopefully they arent just getting our hopes up and doing the same thing

there are no pics online of lee either from the shoot, everyone else...no lee

theres none of the new jerseys... if not then I guess they'll just unveil it when the team wants too..

he reported how they looked though, so thats why I think they still might unveil them.

You mean Superman instead of Spiderman, right?

* Just noticed it was written by Dave McMenamin. Sorry.

O-SEN said that the new jersey's are going to be unveiled later this summer, barring any hold up with the NBA league front office. Alex Martins says the design team is just tweeking a few things to make it perfect, and that when ready they will be introduced.

damnit.. false alarm then...... at least we know it looks pretty good and some example of how it looks

They were going to release them today, but realized they had left the pinstripes in.

Back to the drawing board.

I was told that they would be unveiled sometime in August at the earliest and that Lee and MP are scheduled to be the first to dawn them as the unveiling ceremony would take place while Dwight is in Beijing.

Dwight is already in Beijing...

in other words Dwight will still be overseas when the unveiling takes place...and technically, they arent in Beijing yet...

I found a page with all the rookie photos. There is one of CLEE and you can kind of see the new jersey. Not liking the collar but I guess its ok. Doesn't look to different from the current jersey except for the few pinstipe and the collar not having a star at the bottom. Well you cant see everything so you really cant judge them right now. Well here are a few links.

Good find buddy. Your right it doesn't look too different but I never was a big fan of the star at the bottom of the collar looks like they went with the style of the pacers jersey.

No Black? EDIT: I see white pinstripes a little bit.

And ugly collar.

I don't like them from that picture.

I thought our road uni's were black.....

I'm pretty sure he's wearing the new home jersey....

Pencil-thin, super-spaced out pinstripes: LAME
Collar: LAME
Lee: NEUTRAL

First impression: DOWNGRADE

Edit: Rick Rolled has a point. The unis were "likely a black model for road games and a pinstriped look for home games". Are we going to be wearing blue with pinstripes for home games?!?!

well the kings and timberwolves got posted

I guess I'm in the minority and actually like it. It's a modern day twist with the pinstripes and I kinda get the whole spiderman vibe from that writer... it's kind of like a web th way they go out it appears from that pic. I like the collar thing too, once again gives it a newer kind of look.
