It’s completely and utterly pathetic. Teams don’t have color schemes, brands or identities anymore. Every week it’s a new logo/jersey design. And to make it worse, they all look like poorly designed amateurish shit. What happened to classic iconic branding?
The NBA under Commissioner Silver is a joke.

I love em (especially since I kayak and love that area)
It's called 'Boathouse Row' - home of the biggest collegiate and high school rowing events in the country
Houses local universities such as St. Joes, Temple, Drexel, LaSalle, Penn's rowing equipment by the Schuylkill River

To be honest watching that Philly game with those jerseys is what inspired this thread. LOL. I hate them. Whats wrong with these? They’re classic...

Yeah - those blow

It's a take on 'Miami Vice'

I may be wrong - maybe our Nets fans here can correct me
And I get Spike Lee is (or was) a Knicks fan
But I always thought those alternate Nets jerseys were a take on a 90s Spike Lee film
Jungle Fever or something else - I just get that vibe off of those.....

I would like it as a once or twice a month alternate. But to wear it more often than their regular jersey is way too much. The Lakers blue and white alts are very cool as well, I admit. But again, you gotta stick with your classic brand/colors most of the time. The NBA is like a free for all with these crazy alts taking over. Like seriously I never see two teams wearing their regular colors in a game anymore.

Here's the main problem with all of these alternate jerseys, and not just in the NBA, but really in all sports.....
You ever watch those old NFL Films productions? When you're watching that old footage, you know exactly what team you are seeing, you recognize the uniforms immediately.
Now, if by chance I'm watching highlights on Sportscenter or something, lots of times I really have no idea what team I'm seeing, unless I immediately recognize a player, or the arena or field or whatever.
If I just base it on the uniforms, sometimes I don't have a clue what team I'm watching, very annoying.

I’m a big fan of alternates when A) used in moderation and B) the designs are actually good The Mariners do this right. They use their blue/cream/yellow alt only on Sunday home games. And the design is completely awesome looking. And to boot they use the same logo and font, unlike those NBA alts.  The NFL’s color rush is also great. As are the occasional retro jersey in any sport. but the NBA needs to be stopped. |

It’s annoying AF when I put a game on and have to figure out which team is which when I’ve been an NBA fan my whole life.

Sadly as we all know it's all about $
I used to spend a ton of dough as a kid on Starter clothes - i.e. team gear
I'm sure it still holds true these days - once a new jersey comes out - you've got little Junior asking Mom & Pop to buy him the new jersey
I love most hockey alternate sweaters.....

Seems like a losing strategy though. Wouldn’t a standard logo/color scheme/Jersey design sell more if it’s established as the official iconic version? As opposed to a sea of mediocre crap. I’m no marketing expert but classic branding has got to be the best way to move merchandise.

Those golden Heat jerseys the other night were hideous. Are they the Pacers now?

There should NEVER be alternate jerseys for the playoffs. If your sport does that, then you play too many fucking games in the playoffs. And you should never have an alternate jersey that doesn't utilize some color in the main uniform.

Color rush is very team dependent. The Steelers fared better than a lot of others.  The craziest I would go with them for a game or two a year would be yellow as the helmet or jersey color. Even my son, who would be the supposed target market for all of the NBA alternates, hates it when he can't tell which team it is fifteen seconds after turning on the game.
