All-Star Jerseys Feature Fleur De Lys, Sleeves

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 5:31 pm

The NBA's All-Star jerseys feature a fleur de lys and sleeves.

Adidas, provider of the NBA's uniforms, has been experimenting with sleeved jerseys since last season.

On Christmas Day, every team wore sleeves, which led to complains by some players.

I suppose they figured it was cheaper to just give the players the same free t-shirts that they give the crowd.

They need to quit it with this sleeves crap or at the very least make a pair of matching shorts. It just looks stupid having these tight t shirts with baggy shorts.

NBA is actually becoming a futbol league.

Lol no I agree with the shorts though. Watch, next they're gonna be wearing tighter shorts to show their quads & have the compression underneath. Players already wear the sleeves on legs like shin guards. Talk about advertising on jerseys are being talked about.

My point -- the NBA will look like a futbol league soon. Lol watch.

They already flop like in soccer. They got the "pretty boys" who dress like soccer ppl lmao.

& Adam Silver said he wantsa do a tornament like soccer does during the all star break! It's crazy.

Worst part is you can't smoke the greens on the jersey

Not only is it a poor color combination, and potentially worse looking than the awful christmas pajama tops, but the fleur de lys looks horrible too. Will the poor marketing ploys ever stop? At least 90% of the fan base hates sleeved jerseys as do the players. Does anyone in marketing pay attention to reality anymore?

lol did they have kids design these t-shirts? ...whoops, I meant jerseys. Or did I?

I wouldn't wear these if they were free...

If they keep this up, Adidas will be out as the jersey provider for the NBA. They have been HORRIBLE with their experiments - who gave the go-ahead for these both from the Adidas side and the NBA side? Just wow...
