Sleeved Jerseys

[Natebishop3]

I'm curious what our record is in the Rip City jerseys.

I'm also curious what Dame's shooting percentage is in those jerseys.

I actually think we have the best sleeved jerseys with the "Rip City" logo.

. . . . should be abolished!

I hate the look, they seem to benefit guards and skinnier players though.

If only they had advertisements on them, they would look great..

I'll go against the grain here. I like them. They've grown on me. Most people are reluctant to accept change. I think that's what causes the push back against the sleeved jerseys.

Yeah... No...

 

[dviss1]

He should've got a tech for that.

Having ripped up sleeves looks way worse. The players union should bargain for them to be less form fitting and more T-shirt like.

Lol! Nice!

They are hideous.

That's an overstatement IMO.

You're amazing.

I guess it's a habit of mine.

They look like cool t-shirts to me...it's not a big deal. anything that absorbs more sweat is good for keeping the court dry I'd guess.

Most court sweat comes from players faces dripping at the Lane spaces during free throws or when players dive on the floor.

Isn't that why the league is pushing the sleeves...besides the marketing of replicas? For advertising space in the future....??? Serious comment/question here.

I believe so but hope not. Advertising on NBA jerseys would fucking look stupid as shit and I hope they never do it... the whole reason why I'll never wear a timbers Jersey is because it says Alaskan airlines on the front. MF I don't play for Alaskan airlines...

 

[dviss1]

Also, the conventional argument has been since the euros do it we probably should too. I would never want to wear one of those idiotic European jerseys. They all suck sleeveless or not.

To be fair you don't play for the timbers either

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sleeved jerseys should be easy to rip so Meyers could do this whenever he dunks or makes a 3pt shot.

True but I was born and raised in Portland. Not Alaska.

I don't like that Timbers jerseys say Alaska Airlines either but at least there's the explanation that soccer doesn't have breaks for commercials like basketball and football do. I'd be perfectly fine with sponsors on jerseys if it greatly reduced commercials, but that's definitely not how it would go down.

I'm sure you've watched the Timbers game on TV haven't you? There's a good amount of commercials. Commercials simply come down to the way TV is given to us in this country. In Finland and other countries, commercials are like a 10 minute break in between TV shows. You get a block of commercials and you can turn that bullshit off. Here in America we are inundated with commercials. That's capitalism for you...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He does that already....

Nah, Meyers has yet to dunk this season.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Okay, but he has the Incredible Hulk thing down to a tee though.....

Soccer games go 45 minutes without breaking for commercials at halftime and then go another 45 minutes without commercials for the second half though. Nowhere near the same amount of commercials as basketball or football. Basketball games break for 2 minutes of commercials every few minutes of gameplay. Watching soccer on TV is much more enjoyable to me than any other sport because of this.

They can't do that during soccer, everyone would think the commercials are more exciting then the actual game.

I know that's a joke but I think soccer is more exciting than football. And I've never even played soccer, I played football through high school.
