    The jersey has an unfinished look to it. I usually like minimal aesthetics but the two colors they chose don't really work. It needs some sort of accent on the outline stripes, the lettering and the number. It just looks like a mockup made in paint that they suddenly decided to make a reality.

    That's a very apt description. To me, it looks like either someone who is color blind (and doesn't know what scarlet red looks like) or someone who tweaked the hues too much. It looks much more like it's Orange/Red instead.

    There is no way you can ever convince me that is scarlet red. That's my biggest complaint, the color. I'll live with sash looking like someone ran them over. Most teams don't have anything on their uniforms other than the team name, so it's kind of unique that way. But the colors....fix the colors.

    You may be right. And I appreciate that you addressed me correctly as "sir".

    Ours really isn't bad. Black on red has a mean look to it. It may be too plain for some, but at least it isn't god awful. Clippers is so dogshit, plain ass block letters lazily sandwiched atop their shitty logo. I like Utah's. GSW's is nice if you like the word 'TOWN', since that's all you can make out from more than 3 feet away.

    Disagree. I think white would totally ruin these. Simplicity is the one thing these have going for them.

    Your opinion. I like them. No big deal to disagree.

    I thought they looked awful when I saw the digital 2k version, but the real thing on Mo looks amazing

    That was exactly the same for me. I thought the video game link had to have been fake because they looked like a joke. But that jersey in actual good lighting, on Moe, looked pretty badass.

    I LOVE it that the Mavs sent Barea. "Let's model our new NBA jerseys on the player of ours who looks least like an NBA player!"
    "But he'll look ridiculous next to all the others!"
    "I know - it's awesome!"

    So has the "pride" or whatever jersey came out yet? Shouldn't it have been spoiled When the game came out as well??
