What a stupid move. I don't know why Adam Silver keeps feeling the need to tweak and **** with the jerseys.

lol now you can rep "King James" and "Kobe" thanks to Adam Silver. And don't forget McDonalds and Burger King in a few years too.

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Jerseys don't need sponsors or putting the names in weird places. Keep it simple, keep it classic.

First Adam Silver pulled that dumb XFLesque shit with the nickname jerseys.

Now he's doing this and has plans to throw ads on jerseys.

I also have seen a few other rumors like the NBA is considering adding a midseason tournament in Las Vegas to make the regular season "more competitive" ...

lol Adam Silver blows.

This will look cool on guys like Kobe and LeBron. Not so much for Kevin Durant and Chris Paul, for example :lol

[russwest0]

If he showed up and completely overhauled the officiating and got rid of us being forced to watch the same sh*tty officials each year that everyone knows is corrupt then I'd be a fan of his and would live with some of this shit.

But from a pure fans perspective, the guy is doing absolutely NOTHING for us and has simply done everything in his power to monetize every aspect of the sport and put a dollar value on everything, even your favorite teams CLASSIC jerseys...

Doesn't Spain have the players' first names on the back of the jersey? I remember seeing "Pau," "Ricky," and "Rudy" during the 2008 OG.

That's still not that bad as nicknames on jerseys. But the worst is Sleeve jerseys. This change is much too drastic.

[noob cake]

"LeBron" jersey will sell like HOTCAKES>

Yeah lol so will Kobe.

And to a lesser extent guys like Carmelo and Dirk.

This means the Lakers are a lock for a Christmas game even if they are one of the worst teams in the league lol.

Welcome to the Adam Silver era.

[NugzFan]

[russwest0]

I can't imagine anything as silly as Larry Bird playing on Christmas day in a sleeved "Larry" jersey with a McDonalds advertisement on it lol

Thanks Adam Silver for ruining this sport with shit like this and refusing to address the real problems like officiating. You da bess :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Even Sac gets one!!!I appreciate the link. There's a lot of good jersey information in there beyond the gold patches and Christmas duds.

On topic, I feel as though the NBA is coming close to flooding the market with jerseys. It's almost too much to keep track of. Not to mention, I find the sleeve and first name styles to be abhorrent.

On a good note, it's nice to see the mid-90's Pacers and inaugural Raptors unis will be active throwbacks next year. Hopefully that means NBA 2K finally adds the dino jerseys as well to pave the way for some classic Raptors creations.

First, it was nicknames, now it's first names. What's next, ****ing middle names?
