They had the silver last season too

I don't mind the grey, but that script is not great. If you want an eyesore in grey, look for the Spurs camo uniforms.

I think the Mitchell and Ness jerseys are officially a failure. League wide.

Teams are still designing their own jerseys, just as they did under ISC. Mitchell & Ness has nothing to do with it.

The only way that comment makes sense is if you've just woken up from a five-year coma and haven't seen any of the designs that were used while you were out.

My above post is a reply to #861.

The NBL appoints a designer to design all unfiforms... Whilst team's do get a say of ideas/concepts etc it is the deisgner is responsible for it.

Yes, because anons on here are historically such reliable sources.

Whoever is designing them they are really boring. I feel like most people like the classic very busy uniforms. Maybe thats just me.

Give me that old school wildcat on the jersey every day of the week, Even in the NBA give me a raptor on a carter jersey over the word Raptors and nothing else.

Oh sweet christmas... So before I even get to the horrendous grey alternate... They managed to make the standard design even MORE plain by just removing the semi-transparent M? Could that be anymore boring?!

As for the alternate... jesus... what is it with teams and using that awful script? Frist it was the WIldcats, then it was the Kings, now, even though slightly different, the Unitards...

It would make sense that there is a central designer, only because they've been consistently shit... "save copy as", swap colours, save... Someone needs to lose a job over this rubbish... I can't imagine that LK would be happy with this unprofessional look?

Yes, because anons on here are historically such reliable sources.

I usually prefer simple, but the United jerseys continue to look like someone went into Rebel and picked up 10 no-branded basketball jerseys and ironed some numbers on.

I thought when Melbourne became "united" in name they were trying to unite the City / state behind the state colours of navy and white. Their logo indicates those colours but their uniform is so dark they appear to be in black and white. Like most NBA uniforms the design is quite simple, but I also don't get the need for a grey option other than as a sales option.

Yeah those uniforms are awful. The regular ones are boring and the grey one is ugly as.

Nbl teams seem to have trouble year after year puttin out decent uniforms, so at least united are far from alone here.

The thing I hate more than the design is how wide the shoulders are and how baggy the arm holes are. A tight fit across the shoulder looks much better.

I just wish the league as a whole could get over the idea that they need to redesign their uniforms every season.

Most of them do, because they suck, but that's not the reason it happens.

Especially in the NBL, where imports would be high-selling and there's a lot of import turnover, so you'd get decent annual sales based on the name on the back.

I completely agree koberulz. Every year a new jersey design. Theres no room for building up a traditional brand anymore. Only the colours usually stay the same however its only an issue when its a backward step from the previous design.

Wildcats new jersey looks a lot better than last years, though whos to say what next years will be like. Id be happy if clubs kept their same look for at least 3 or 4 seasons just for some consistency

"Yeah everything has improved under the LK era except uniforms"

While I dont agree that everything has improved (no shocks there), there is certainly a strong appearance of things looking better with more money being spent. And a case can certainly be made that the appearance of success is vital to developing long term sustainability and actual success. Which is what makes the amateurish uniforms even more perplexing

From the Illawarra article:

The 2017/18 season will see all NBL clubs strip back their playing uniforms to one predominate colour featuring their city or club name across the chest.

Agree that it's good to get some oversight in to make sure there aren't huge clashes, but not to the point that they all look the same but with different colours and names on it...

Changing every season is stupid for sure, but most teams have needed to do that as they consistently design really crap styles... They need to lock in on a solid design and keep it for multiple seasons, like Cairns have...

Having seen a few uniforms now, I agree with many, that they seem to have gone back to a generic design. No "personality" or "uniqueness" with any design. Seems very strange after the other improvments in presentation in recent seasons.
