    I don't think it's a real jersey.

    If these are real, what really pisses me off is that they could look so sick. They'd just need to switch the gray to black, and the black to white. Get the text outlined in white and the sash with white dividing lines instead of black and it'd look sick... The black and gray contrast is just flat out weird.

    Colors be damned, is that a fucking Hot Wheels track going down the middle of the jersey??? Why so many lines?

    Maybe there is an option to change the colors of the jerseys and they are the way Bones suggested? I'm reaching for straws man!

    Ewwww. It's too many lines on the front. I think there are too many already. That silver line sucks.

    It feels like it's a video game version of the uniform..close to the original but enough different that they won't get sued.

    I think it could be good if done right.

    They're waiting to see if Scott Thomason is going to get back into selling cars, or if Mikes' drive-inn is willing to throw in a free ice cream cone if the Blazers score 125 points.

    Not for everyone who went to the game, just for Paul Allen.

    Yeah there's just no way that Blazer one is real. Okay maybe not "no way" but I'll be very surprised.

    Maybe it should be 1-3 lines to better reflect today's league.

    What everyone should be asking themselves, Are those the Athletes mindset or the Community Inspiration jerseys? Who gets the blame for those 'things'?

    Players or Fans?

    So this makes it sound like those red alternates are legit: http://news.sportslogos.net/2017/09/13/video-game-leaks-full-set-of-new-nba-alternate-jerseys/

    Most of these are a joke. The MIL is especially bad. Side stripes on the ORL shorts look bad. Nothing anyone can do to make that LAC "logo" look good. "The Town" with an oak tree - hahahahahaha...fucking stupid. DAL blatantly ripping off DEN. The one large herringbone look on CLE looks absolutely awful. It was actually going to make me post about how patterns always look stupid on NBA uniforms, but then I saw IND and am surprisingly okay with what they've done.

    It'll be interesting to see these in real life, rather than in a video game rendering. I'm particularly interested in ours. I've actually come to terms with the lettering/numbering and neck/arm stripes. I actually really like the flat look of black on a red field without outlines mucking things up. But the use of 5 "pinwheel" stripes on the diagonal just totally disregards how the proportions of those lines work in the logo. And I still think it's really weird that the striping around the arms only goes 3/4 rather than all the way around.

    This link has been posted before. The source is not a good one IMO.
