Looks great

[Sarcastic]

Looks a little too "pointy".

[Pursuer]

Looks like shit. Still better than the all star jerseys

[Euroleague]

Those are lame.

[InspiredLebowski]

The commenters on that site are worse than ISHiots. And the jerseys suck.

[LABean]

This.
But still, good luck, rest of the world. :lol

[IGOTGAME]

they look horrible. way to pointy. want no part of those.

[SwooshReturns]

I like them ... the "S" looks very superhero emblem-ish

[LBJ 23]

Looks a little too "pointy".


Who? Durant?

[InspiredLebowski]

The crappy Photoshopped proportions make Lebron look like mini-Lebron from the Nike commercials

[AMISTILLILL]

"]Lisa".

[G-train]

They look more pointy than reality as they have slapped a flat image on the front of the rounded player torso.

[Sarcastic]

You know what would have been cool?

If they did that 3D type of image that the Raptors have on their court.

[kennethgriffin]

Looks like some kind of home improvement warehouse logo

Ugly as ****... Wont buy one this time around i guess

[SwooshReturns]

The mockups look weird because of the proportions, but you guys are cynical as hell ... these look sick. My favorites were the Champion 1992 Dream Team ones, and the 2007 FIBA uniforms. Doesn't get any better than those for me.

[LBJMVP]

whatever... if our team even remotely tries and doesnt go in cocky we will destroy.

seriously if every player went in with the mentality of the nba finals it would be scary to see what our team would do. plus how much does the U.S. practice together compared to other countries? its insane.

[Toizumi]

Dislike the font on both the "USA" and the number. The FIBA jerseys for team USA are always pretty basic, as they should be.. But because of the lettering, these are a bad look in my opinion

I have no idea, but other teams also have players that don't play in 'their' domestic league and have team responsibilities. I don't think there is a great difference, but I might be wrong.

And yes, team USA will win it all.

[HylianNightmare]

[kennethgriffin]

love em

if you like those...

Other countries dont practice together anymore than USA.
They just have better chemistry due to their style fo play.

USA will win if players accept roles. If they don't have players accepting roles they will lose. That's why guys like Bosh and Chandler are so valuable internationally for USA.
They should take Rondo and Paul over any other PG as pass first mentalities will be required at the 1 more than anything.

[Alamo]

These are better than the 2008 jerseys

[kennethgriffin]

These are better than the 2008 jerseys

:facepalm

[chips93]

im surprised more isnt being made out of team usa's lacking of training time together

iirc the summer of 07 they practiced together, in preparation for the 08 games, then again before the games.

this time around they had no prep the year before, and will be playing together for the first time in 4 years.

they could be worse than the redeem team, which was given a really tough game by spain.

i dont understand the high level of confidence.

i'm picking them to finish 4th

not even kobe can save them this time around

[chips93]

they are still the clear cut favorite, but its not like they wont be challenged

Team USA has one of the longest preparations each summer of any team. Lots of other teams even spend a month less in preparations.

[Punpun]

>Hyper Elite

My god. This is for real.

[iDunk]

Illuminati want my mind soul and my body.

Stussy? :oldlol:

[just_NONchalant]

The irony of these jerseys are they're probably made in china haha

[Velocirap31]

Durant looks emaciated in comparison to the others.

[CavaliersFTW]

Those look like shit

[iDefend5]

USA isn't winning gold, so you mind as well at least look good as you lose.

[tomtucker]

some big ass numbers on the front, right !?

[CLTHornets4eva]

Simply not true. Find me a contending team with much less prep time than the US.

America hater. :blah Your euro bias means nothing to me. It's like an American claiming the MLS is a legit league. Please leave.

[G-train]

Once again, the real jerseys will not look like plastic men with round torsos and a flat image slapped straight on them.
They will look good in reality.

Well I don't know about LeBron but the rest sure...

[dunksby]

They tried so hard to make Lebron look taller :lol

[The Big Skinny]

Look nice to me outside of the awkward USA in the center.

KD looks super awkward with his shoulders back and his chest pushed forward.

[Burgz]

i like the jerseys they used in '07

[FireMcFailPlease]

holy crap, we're gonna kick the crap out of everybody in these

[ThunderKat]

Looks a little too "pointy".

That's what she said.

Looks great

Look how out of shape D-Will looks... that f4ggot.

Check out KD... dude looks mad scrawny. Get in the weight room brah.

[Faptastrophe]

Like the stealth element on the font, not too flashy either. They're work uniforms.
"We're here to bomb the shit out of you," is what these uni's say to me.

[Semi]

The USA font and composition of the letters just isn't really aesthetical pleasing. And it is too near above the number, it kind of locks the number in. Somehow I associate an arrow with the whole composition of number and lettering. It's aggressive, what I think is what it's supposed to look like but it also looks a bit tense. Just a bit too much...

[roffie]

wannabe superman logo

[CelticsDraftee]

Stussy? :oldlol:

Is that what it's called? I've never had any idea what it is.

[Teanett]

expensive and look like shit
