Warriors trying to go outside the box with this one... Looks like a damn track and field uniform.

Its better than the aluminum foil jerseys the Mavs wore vs the Lakers in 2004.

At least those were actually jerseys, though.

[Knicksfever2010]

Isnt there an nba rule about not having sleeves?

I would think having a tight fighting jersey w/ sleeves would make it awkward for an nba player who is used to not having that incumberence.

[RoboticWang]

It's not really THAT bad..

[HardwoodLegend]

Didn't they used to be called the San Francisco Warriors?

They represent the Bay, so they're paying homage to those tight shirts gay dudes wear in the club.

[Levity]

Im sure Russel Westbrook is hoping the Thunder jump on this tight shirt trend

Deja vu...

[AngelEyes]

This is disgraceful.

[MetsPackers]

Looks pretty dope to me :confusedshrug:

I'd actually wear a Knicks version of that like around and to the gym and shyt as opposed to jerseys, which there is never a good occasion to wear unless you are trying to look poor and stupid wherever you go. Jerseys don't even fit regular people properly so something like this appeals more to be and could actually be dope. Idk, opinions i guess

[HEAT111]

Yeah, they definitely do look nice.

[HardwoodLegend]

Jerseys don't even fit regular people properly

Yes they do. How do they not?

[Blue&Orange]

There's no need to see armpits.

[HardwoodLegend]

"Lookin like a black Lance Armstrong. This is basketball, not cycling."

[Patrick Chewing]

Barnes looking gay in that first pic

[MetsPackers]

Yes they do. How do they not?

Idk i mean i'm 5'10" and maybe its just my specific height but I cannot find a real NBA jersey that fits me like a shirt and can be worn without the first thing people thinking being "damn look at that bigass jersey down to his knees practically" Or have 9 inches of jersey sticking out from under my hoodie

And even if i'm just wearing one with bball shorts I still look like a goddamn clown and i'm a pretty fashionable dude who can make clothes work. Something like these new ones would be way better. The nba jerseys you can buy are like practically a giant novelty thats not really meant to be worn regularly as far as I see.

Like, you ever notice how mexicans wear soccer jerseys around like shirts, and you could see how it actually looks normal and decent as opposed to the big and tall nba jerseys? Thats because they have sleeves, while still being athletically functional, and they look normal. I'd be down for something like that except for a sport I like :confusedshrug:

I think all 30 teams should offer these they'd be fly as shyt

[crisoner]

It's pushing it

it does seem nice but sleeves are like blasphemy for b-ball uni's.

[InspiredLebowski]

The worst part isn't even the sleeves. There's pinstripes on the shorts but not the jersey, wtf.

[heavensdevil]

thought it was against the rules to wear sleeves in the NBA unless for injury/performance reasons.

[WesWelkerACL]

Haha so much truth. It's true though, atleast with soccer jerseys there are proper occasions to wear them and they fit like like regular clothes. This would be a step in that direction.

[Burgz V2]

not sure what the fuss is about. they are kind of cool. the USAToday article made a good point, a lot of people were outraged at players wearing long shorts in basketball but in the end it faded away. As long as it doesn't affect the players' play, then whatever.

[Burgz V2]

honestly this is one of the truest things ever said. who wears jerseys to play ball anymore?

the only jerseys I ball in are old Champion ones because they fit really good other than that, the new jerseys are too heavy, Im not a 220lb pro basketball player I cant be running around in that :lol

[nathanjizzle]

i like it

[iDunk]

It said teams are gonna be catching onto this trend & we're gonna see a lot more of these next season. If we replace normal jerseys with these "T-Shirts" I'm losing hope in the NBA. Future is now... unfortunately.

[InspiredLebowski]

No one's pointed out the obvious yet. Sleeves means more advertising space.

[KingJames99]

I don't think they are that bad i actually kinda like them, didn't read article is this official and when will they be using them?

[DCL]

they look so f@ggoty.

[mattvNJ]

the 2nd pic does them so much justice, i like the second pic in the first it just looks like a glorified Under armour t shirt... f that. But the second view with the complete jersey, im not against it.

[Dubs510]

so sick! :bowdown:

[Mr. NBA]

I like it. Some of their other players may look a bit weird. Draymon Green and Bogut has some weight on them. Cut the sleeves off and it would look ever more badass.

[IGotACoolStory]

Remove the sleeves and they aren't terrible... :confusedshrug:

In the first pic I thought it was a tshirt.

[TheTruth#34]

I like it and would wear a Celtic one.

The sight of a grown man in a vest is wrong I would never wear a regular jersey

[PHILA]

About 10 minutes into Adidas' pitch about an innovative new uniform with sleeves, Warriors' co-owner Peter Guber had seen enough.

How much can Adidas outdo themselves with this destruction of the NBA's apparel?

[StroShow4]

:facepalm

[9512]

I personally don't think they're that bad.

Change is good. But don't make this T shirt trend the only jersey to wear in the future. I hope those don't replace the current tank top style jerseys.

[imdaman99]

so a tight soccer shirt? id buy a knicks version, as long as it doesnt make me look as gay as barnes does 1st pic :oldlol:

[Wang Zhi Zhi]

Its better than the aluminum foil jerseys the Mavs wore vs the Lakers in 2004.

Anyone have a pic of these?

[DMV2]

I don't like the pinstripes on the pants. It doesn't match the top. Stripes with stripes, solids with solids.

[Toizumi]

I think this is really, really bad.
It looks like he's wearing a (compression) T-shirt underneath his overly tight jersey. Also, the shirt is really tight but the short is loose. Not only do the shorts have pinstripes, while the shirt does not, it looks like its made out of a totally different fabric, just like the ASG jersey/short combo, which was hideous last year and will be again this year.

[bdreason]

Do not like. It's going to look really bad on skinny guys like Curry and Thompson too.

[Noof]

Wait...what? :lol

[Burgz V2]

No one's pointed out the obvious yet. Sleeves means more advertising space.

i thought they were only allowed a small logo on the opposite shoulder of the NBA logo?

in any case, you'll probably be right in 5 years if/when most teams start wearing these, who knows how much ad space they will allow then

[G-train]

meh I dont mind what they wear

I don't know a lot of poor people who can afford a $100 + jersey :wtf:

Maybe if you saw somebody rocking a champion replica jersey that's half faded from being washed to much..

But a new authentic jersey? Defiently doesn't indicate that somebody is poor?

[D-Rose]

They're alright I think. Going to be more common in the future perhaps.

[Brujesino]

Not liking it.

Are you really skinny? Because if you are then it would make sense that you find it difficult to find Jerseys that fit right otherwise you're just wearing jerseys that are too big

As for these new jerseys, thinking it might have to do with having more spacefor advertisements.

[ProfessorMurder]

Garbage.

Too tight AND sleeves?! :facepalm

[CelticBaller]

Poor Bogut :lol

[alwaysunny]

I'm not sure what to make of this. When players wear those tight black tees coming out of injury I thought it looked pretty cool, but this just seems too forced. I remember when jerseys were popular streetwears people used to wear NFL jerseys on top of their hoodies, so Reebok actually made a jersey/hoodie combined sweatshirt. I don't think they sold too well..

[InspiredLebowski]

i thought they were only allowed a small logo on the opposite shoulder of the NBA logo?

in any case, you'll probably be right in 5 years if/when most teams start wearing these, who knows how much ad space they will allow thenSure, that's the story, but there's no actual contract language yet. Instead of calling it a "2"x2" patch" or whatever it is they'll change it to "3.5% of jersey space" or something. Then in 2023 they'll be wearing full sleeves.

[TheCorporation]

Looks bad. Reminds me of college ball players

[flipogb]

alright Dwight to Warriors then, hed love to wear those

[CavaliersFTW]

It's not really THAT bad..

[miller-time]

I like them more for casual wear. I don't like catching glimpses of men's hairy armpits, and under Ts look stupid. This solves both of those problems.

[lakerspng]

I actually don't think it's that bad. When I play I usually wear a t shirt, not a tank top or jersey anyhow. I'd ball in that for sure, looks light and like it breathes well.

You think this Warriors jersey, as a shirt worn casually, will look less stupid than a t-shirt underneath a normal basketball jersey?

Yup, a third of us are obese. This is going to be awesome.

Seriously, how many fat dudes wear Under Armor and think they're ripped?

I'd say maybe 15% of the US is capable of wearing those without looking disgusting... But they'd still look retarded because those are terrible jerseys.

Bogut is a funny guy, hel enjoy looking silly

[MeLO MvP 15]

Some have said it already, but I actually think they're nicer looking for fans to wear around. Also you'd really think that they'd do this like overseas or something before in the NBA.

It looks pretty cool, but I don't think it'd work at all with the classic type uniforms (Boston and NY specifically).

[jbot]

i like them. people need to calm down.

[MeLO MvP 15]

http://niketalk.com/content/type/61/id/263147/

I'm more concerned at how the shorts don't match at all. They also don't look nearly as tight as in the first pic.

I wonder if they'd make those long sleeve. Like basically with built in shooting sleeves. Now come to think of it, wearing those with shooting sleeves would look really weird or sick.

[IGotACoolStory]

Yikes, the shorts really don't match the shirt. Stripes and different color?


Basketball overalls.

[jbot]

holy crap those shorts are ugly!

[StroShow4]

I think those are actually old Indiana Pacers shorts.

[SacJB Shady]

Of course they were the San Francisco Warriors. Do people not know that they are going back to san fran in a few years?

Btw, do you guys know if Harrison Barnes has a girlfriend? I'm just saying... I'm not so sure on his, you know.

[SpecialQue]

I fapped.

[SacJB Shady]

Warriors desperate to try anything to win. The style is supposed to improve performanve

[jaydacris]

i would wear something like that casually (not warriors yellow, maybe a different team+color)
but wearing ingame... dunno bout dat!

I'd wear it when trying to score some snatch.

[chosen_one6]

Holy shit these jerseys look horrible.

And lol at the guy that said wearing basketball jerseys when you're not on a court looks weird. I wear my LeBron jersey to school and out to the beach and it looks perfectly fine. Obviously you have to be tall and work out to look decent in one though.

[flipogb]

good thing Big Baby isn't on their team

[CLTHornets4eva]

I think the shirts would look better with matching pants, not the stupid stripes. I would also like to see it in other colors, I don't think the gross yellow gives the best first impression.

I'd like to see more 90's style jerseys with thick borders, not the removal of borders completely.

[devin112]

They look comfy tho plus it'll be easier to wear casually as a fan

[andremiller07]

I rate the shorts but that jersey is ugly as hell

[eliteballer]

[quote]While company and team officials tout the uniform's technical attributes (even with sleeves, the jersey is 26 percent lighter than the Warriors' regular jersey) the introduction of sleeves has a practical application aimed at juicing sales of NBA fan gear.

Though fans can certainly wear NBA jerseys during all seasons with shirts underneath, they seem far less consumer-friendly than their sleeved counterparts in the National Football League or in soccer leagues worldwide. (As a jersey consumer, I own five football jerseys, two baseball jerseys, and a half dozen soccer jerseys, but haven't bought a replica NBA jersey since I was in junior high, largely because I shun tank tops.)

The sleeved NBA jersey is Adidas solution to that problem.

[chosen_one6]

http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/blog/threads_and_laces/2013/02/adidas-introduces-sleeves-to-nba-jerseys.html?page=all

So basically they are trying to make more jersey sales by making their jerseys more "wearable" for anyone that isn't fit or tall. Makes sense from a business perspective, but I still think it's stupid.

[wagexslave]

The worst part isn't even the sleeves. There's pinstripes on the shorts but not the jersey, wtf.
Yeah that does look stupid as f***. Why would they do that? Hell, even the color of yellow they used on the shorts is different than the jersey... it's a darker tint. Did they purposely decide to make the uniforms not match as much as possible?

[wagexslave]

Also it would look 100x better if it wasn't a f***ing v-neck. Don't people realize that v-necks look f***ing gay?

u don't respect the lgbt or san francisco? :confusedshrug:

A replica costs $110. The real deal is $300. Have fun with that, fan.

I respect them for the most part, but that doesn't mean I want my NBA players to look like them. They look like gay pajamas tbqh

If the Lakers did this there would be heads to roll. How ugly is that uniform, ew. Looks like two shades of piss with pinstripes. I hope there isnt "interest across the league" like the article says. What a shame.

I dont mind the jersey. The shorts should be a little tighter and shorter though, just a shade above the knee. No Homo
