What will they think of next? How about adding faux bicep tattoos? Wouldn't hurt like the real thing either.

 

Those are already available, jimmykc, they're called "temporary" tattoos.

I'm sure some people will see this as adidas grasping at straws in the US market!

This is your friendly and periodic reminder that sleeved basketball jerseys – like jumbo shrimp and sweater vests – make no sense and go against the natural order of things.

I wonder if there would be issues with Adidas copying this design, I would imagine Nike might have concerns....maybe not though.

Nike shouldn't but Converse might.

Converse is an American shoe company with a production output that primarily consists of sportswear and lifestyle brand footwear. The company has been in existence since 1908 and, in 2003, was purchased for $305 million (USD) as a subsidiary of Nike, Inc.

We'll have to go with Adidas' old school subsidiary instead

Loved the fit of some of the Reebok basketball shoes in the early 90's!

Oh, fine.  Be technical about it.

 

(Nike bought out Converse?  Why the hell for?)

Such high praise was, I thought, reserved for me.

 

I'm pedantic; you're merely pedantish.

New uniforms this year are sharp. Definite upgrade from previous ones. Props to Adidas on them.

Agree 100%.

Dang, those are nice!

 

Presumably those are what we're wearing for the Barclay's Center Classic games?

I like it! But again... I can't make a final determination on the unis until I see them in action.

This is one time agree with the adidas hate. I am not a fan of the sleeves at all.

WHY JERSEYS WITH SLEEVES!?!?!?!?  Dr. Naismith must be rolling in his grave right now.
