All they had to do was modernize the '89 logo and jerseys


Is that not literally what they just did. It looks exactly like the 90s classic jersey with modern font. They even brought back the star as the A.

The Penny era black magic jersey is a top 5 jersey ever. Should just go back to those.

I like it. Reminds me of the ones from the Shaq days.

They can't move back to classic logo and jerseys. NBA rules prevent that.

Why did they do a half black/blue on one of those jerseys? Should have just made it all black with blue or white pin strips that would have looked more clean. I like the white and blue jerseys though, sometimes just going simple makes jerseys look a lot better.

The Bulls have never changed their logo, but even when the NBA went from Addidas to Nike’s they were still able to keep it. I feel like Orlando should just buy the logo back.

It’s a throwback to the warmup jersey’s in the Shaq and Penny days.

It's a mixed bag to me, but I want to see it all in real action when the new season starts.

We surely used the old design for long enough; that was from like what, 2008 or 2007?

Basic, black with white pinstripes with the ball logo on the side. Paolo was wearing it in the promo photos.

Was Paolo or Franz consulted on the redesign?

Yes I just seen them! Changed my opinion on it that actually looks good! I think the blue ones are the best always like blue and white color schemes.

The white & blue jerseys are fine. The original, cartoony font would look too outdated. Don't like the faux warm-up jersey at all. The logo is as basic & corporate as it gets. No creativity.

Alex Martins said the fans were part of a focus groups and they asked them what they liked, would keep, or changed. I am not sure if the players were consulted. But this was in production since 2021, so, not sure when they actually spoke to the fans. If it was before draft day, neither players were on the team. But I would not put it pass Orlando to ask the players what they wanted in the jerseys.

I’m just glad the jerseys aren’t orange like that one year lol. These look good though have a new look with the retro feel.

It's better than what they had... but I prefer the previous logo over the new generic looking logo. The jerseys are good but I agree that the font is... off. Not terrible but off. The straight pinstripes and getting rid of the v-neck design are wins though.
