Why do jerseys say el heat

Debuts on court tomorrow. Brooklyn Nets. When I was about 12, I loved everything Chevron and this is giving me major flashback to those preteen years. I see what they were trying to do with the whole subway theme, but the background falls flat for me, leaving the other details off to fend for themselves. If I saw this as a first draft of a jersey design I would be so excited about what the final idea might like, but it just don't look like a complete and finished concept. Props for the attempt and for going with a theme.

In this borough, nothing's given. I feel like I already reviewed their jersey, but I'm just thinking of the Heat's new look. The Pacers had a fun video, a well executed retro look, went bold without getting crazy and the details are there. I'm a sucker for any path of a state outline on a jersey so I loved that addition to this look. Philadelphia 76ers. Minimalism is in, but that doesn't mean everything has to be so simple. The lettering and the logo look like two different looks, the Liberty Bell with no outline or design past the navy color seems like a missed opportunity, the white and the cream clash they way they incorporated the numbers and the whole design feels jumbled.

Fans have asked for many elements of old jerseys back and they got nothing they wanted with this look. Toronto Raptors. I love that the colors are inspired by the OGs, I'm all about it, but if you're going to go with that go all the way.

This jersey feels like two different uniforms, one when you look at the front and another from the back. I'm all about the use of purple, but bringing back the dinosaur would have seemed more crowd-pleasing in my opinion. Missed opportunities in so many ways. Inspired by the OGs. The old school, whose day one belief carried us to where we are today.

Any other spot the stars ran the risk of looking childish and juvenile, but the fun element is a fun feature and placed in a good spot. The look is cohesive down to the shorts and gives an overall nice look. By Shanna McCarriston. They should treat their green and white like the Yankees treat their pinstripes, which haven't changed in years.

Those are the only two colors the Celtics need. The concept here is solid—it's an homage to the championship banners they have hanging in the rafters, of which they claim to have more than any other franchise if you want to re-litigate the Lakers' Minneapolis-LA divide. The problem, however, is the decision to go with two lines for the writing on the front. This is a hodgepodge of elements from all of the Kings' previous jerseys throughout their history. Like most city nickname jerseys, these would be better with the actual city name or team name on the front.

The black is a throwback to the Allen Iverson era, and the design on the front is a tribute to Philadelphia's Boathouse Row. These might look better in person than they do on paper, but what we've seen so far is too busy, and the jersey number above the lettering on the front feels amateurish.

The gold is a nod to the 10th anniversary of Dallas' championship team J. Barea is somehow still here. These are simple and clean, a complete from their off-the-wall blue-and-neon alternates from last season. The Mavs are a team that needs a complete revamping of their uniforms in the near future.

The return of the star and the original font from the Shaq-and-Penny-era Magic jerseys is extremely welcome. The orange is a nod to Florida's citrus industry, which makes sense on paper, but it's such a different color than the ones normally associated with the Magic that it's a little jarring.

These would be among the best jerseys in the entire league if they were blue and black. Maybe that will be next year's evolution. The Timberwolves' neon green color works better here against a straight black backdrop than it does on their normal uniform set, with a bunch of blue and white mucking it up.

The abbreviated city name is a little random and too close to past jerseys that have included various cities' airport codes, which is almost never a good idea. If they aren't going to throw it back to the Kevin Garnett -era jerseys, or keep the Prince theme going, this isn't a bad option. These are a nod to one of the many meanings of "Milwaukee," which is "gathering place by the water.

As a bonus, they don't say "Cream City" on the front. These are supposedly a tribute to Chicago's architecture, but they look more like a tribute to Chicago the Broadway musical. Not that that's a bad thing—these are sharp. But like the Celtics, the Bulls are a team that should never deviate from their classic color scheme of red, black and white.

The Blazers went in a radically different direction from their previous jerseys, which have mostly stuck to variations of their striped sash pattern in red, black, white and occasionally silver. Sticking to that formula has given them one of the highest hit rates on jersey designs of any team in the league over the decades, so this big a departure is bold for them.
