NBL uniforms need to be fixed

I'm with JOaRiDrAN, just because there may be a company logo on the jersey, doesn't make me want to purchase anything from that company. But hey, that's how the league makes it's money to keep the league alive, Sponsorship.


In saying that, i'm totally against the NBA putting logos on their jerseys. The court sponsorships are enough! Imagine the classic, classy, history soaked Celtics jersey.. Now imagine a big Pepsi sign on it. Gross. I wouldn't buy it.

Yeah already seen it they're after a 30mm x 30mm adidas logo.

Look out that's massive news

Im a massive jersey fan and been collecting them since eBay started aswell as designing 14 social jerseys over the years with a personal collection of over 85 jerseys so this really strikes a nerve with me.

A home and away jersey would cost the club $150 including postage. A total overhaul needs to be done. Look at the NBA, when Ramon Sessions got traded to LA they held a press conference the next morning and there Sessions is smiling holding his new jersey up with his SURNAME on the back!

I also understand that sponsors matter in our league but I can't stand it that team names/logos are underneath sponsors on the front of jerseys. Just because iced coffee is on the Sixers shorts doesn't make me want to drink it. Keep the sponsors on the court or on the LED screens running up the sidelines at the dome.

In my opinion you should always model yourself from the leaders in life and the NBA is the best at promoting their teams visually. No logos from memory on the front, just very simple bold letters with some flair. I'm a diehard Lakers fan and if you ask me the best NBA jersey it's the Celtics green with white letters, it's timeless and hasn't changed for decades, yeah there's variations with black text and the shamrock on the back but that's so fans will buy them to add to their collections.

C'mon NBL keep it simple this is sport remember it's 100% visual and something as lame as a missing surname actually matters!

Oscar Forman's away jersey was even wrong, it said Foreman. Not Forman.

Bartlett's looks like an iron on name and i'd dare say it is, along with Allen's.

The whole Bulk theory, i don't think that's the case. And1 would just create 2 away and 2 home regardless of if its at the start of the year or at the end of the year. Im sure it would still cost the same.

Since Ubaka has arrived in Wollongong, I have had a throw back NBA jersey custom made from the states, made & delivered to me. And i've had that jersey for 2 weeks. That's how it should be done, fast turn over! Even more so when it's for a professional league.

The last Hawks home game, i took a friend of mine. He's now been to every home game since Ubaka arrived & he is barely a casual fan. But even he picked up on it and asked me why Ubaka still hasn't got his name on his jersey yet!

All the uniforms are basically the same design with just the colours changing, same with the WNBL. Surely we can do better. Does the NBL tell the teams what uniform they have to have?

Team's websites are also the same with less 'real' information than what they carried a decade ago.

*Made In China*

But you would think someone - even the club itself could just spend an hour putting their names on the back?

Sorry NOT Burton, just Lang.

Burston, Ubaka, Lang, a couple of Taipans players as well.
If you actually have a look at Allens jersey, his name doesn't look right either. Looks like could be a bodge job.
Not sure if And1 print in house or have to get it made up from overseas?
