Exclusive Breaking: Blazers to preview two of the new Nike uniforms this weekend

False. I have a fucking art degree and love them. People need to stop trying to think for everyone else. We all have opinions and that is fine. No need to devalue the opinions of others: nothing is an absolute.

At some point they have to realize who their audience is. These are PRODUCTS and there's a reason Thomas Kincaid sells more prints than Kazimir Malevich.

Liked just for the references. I'm glad they aren't going the Kincaid route. Holy God.

They should've gone Lisa Frank.

Quoted for TRUTH.

LOL. You meant Ed, right?

Haha. Shows how much I know kitch shit.

And that's fine if you like them. But I'll take any of our other red jerseys over these.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Why not just go back to these? Fresh, clean, and actually doesn't look like tire tracks ... crazy, I know!

 

[julius]

The uniforms would be perfectly fine if they were the right color, and had more contrasting (black on white, instead of black on grey on dull orange/red).

I'm a dog of the people.

Am I the only one that is concerned that the "Statement" jersey eliminates white? I'm sure the statement wasn't supposed to be "Go home whitey" given Portland's strongly melanin-impaired fan base. And I do agree that the main issue I see is the "red" color is off.

 

[blue9]

Eliminating white is what makes the "statement". It's literally the only thing they did right with these. Adding white would eliminate the effect they are trying to achieve. You add that in and these are worse, not better. The other issues would still be present, and they'd be highlighted by the addition of white. Fix the details, don't make wholesale changes that completely undermine the raison d'etre of these unis. These aren't our mains - they are meant to be different.

 

[santeesioux]

They're like the terrible Niner jerseys except with the red and black reversed.

 

[dviss1]

People need to just stop saying things like:

Let's go back to the old uniforms.

Cause it ain't never gonna happen.

 

[Schilly]

These are inspired by the players supposedly right? They remind me of sports cars or Trucks that are "blacked" out trim wise, something the players seem to be pretty in to looks wise. I dig em, I get that people are resistant to change and all that but I suspect once they seem them on the floor a couple times most people will actually like them.

Conrad Burry of Sportslogos.net has created mockups of the new NBA “City” Edition uniforms using information he has gathered on each uniform’s details. Not all designs are entirely accurate, but the concepts are reportedly known. According to Burry, the Trail Blazers’ “City” edition jersey will be plaid, a fitting tribute to 1977 championship team head coach Jack Ramsay.

 

[TBpup]

Plaid? Really?

 

[Strenuus]

Plaid? Really?

To celebrate Dr. Jack, like the blurb says... seems good to me.

 

[Schilly]

Is there anything more Portland than plaid?

Patchouli oil scented jerseys

Patchouli oil scented jerseys

We would have to get rid of Blaze the trail cat and replace him with that guy who rides the unicycle in a Darth Vader helmet playing bagpipes.



Actually, that's a really good idea.

 

[riverman]

Plaid? Really?

Bagpipes and kilts for the opening ceremonies!!!

 

[riverman]

Bagpipe man will disrupt opponents freethrows with random squawks!

 

[riverman]

I'm glad ripcity is back on a jersey but man I miss the white sleeved ripcity jerseys from last year...those were sharp

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Best uniforms!

Seems like the accessories (sleeves) are uncomfortable as well.

I also miss the stance socks.
