I don't care about the courts and colours of the jerseys etc aside from one thing. Home team should wear light, Road team should wear dark.

That was my one gripe with the NHL when they switched what jersey the teams wore. Used to be fun seeing your team in white and the road team in their colours - every game was a bit unique. Then they switched it and it's literally the same colours every game (home team with their colour jersey and road team in white).

But oh well, not like I watch very many games anymore.


Idk how I missed it, but looks like it’s been merged now (thanks to whoever did that).

I know this is an old man moment, but I hate all this garbage of uniforms and courts changing all the time and having tons of variations. It's impossible to establish an identity, and it's telling the successful franchises historically don't do it.


Oh nice, another Buffaloes fan! Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain. Whoowhee!!!

I don't know how the Coach Prime thing will ultimately end up, but damn if I'm not enjoying the ride so far.

The raptors court is distracting. They have that 3D Raptors sign behind the baseline

Are you talking about this thing that they did like a decade ago? If so, that has been gone for a long time.

That thing messed up my eyes every time. Sorta clever but I hated it.

The Jazz court is growing on me but I know they are going to change their uniforms very soon due to fan feedback.

I miss the days when a team had 3 jersey per team. White, Team color, alternate.
This doesn't have to be necessary home (white) team color & Alternate (away) because some color teams are iconic.
Lakers vs Celtics were classic with gold & Green.

Still those 5 jersey per team, changing some of them every year is annoying. Not so far away every jersey change should stay 7 years at minimun and only alternate had some changes.

For example Bulls @ Rockets should have one in red & other in white, but to put Rockets in blue is a travesty. Some of the actual jersey are the worst. And when one team had something new and good (as SA had a pair of years ago) they change it for another worse and doesn't stick.

I know this is business and they want to send it... but I think it is worse nowadays. When you have Bird or Magic Jersey you knew it would be forever. Right now you buy Doncic jersey and maybe next season is completely obsolete... so better not to buy it.

I used to get a lot of jerseys, but there's a few years I don't buy any, because they are getting ridiculous.

Agree that we are at an all time low for NBA jerseys.

It's just a bunch of random designs that change year on year. Some of the designs actually look nice but they never stick around long enough to weld itself with the identity of the team.

Cant see anyone buying a 2023-23 retro jersey in 2045.
