NBL new apparel sponsor

"#1. So how do you propose to get all the uniforms on time and EARLY when maybe 2 months notice is needed to produce sad Uniforms and said side hasn't been selected?"

The teams buy jersey blanks and press on names and numbers in-house. Obviously.

The Taipans machine is often left sitting out on the front counter during off-season.

yep, a nice one. It was on our jerseys last year

Perth has a skyline??

So Adelaide just wanted to copy Perth's design from last season? Adelaide skyline or just a picture of Adelaide oval?

Adelaide has a skyline??

Outside of the heritage jerseys, which are always great, NBL uniforms have been unsightly for years. I welcome any change in that. Maybe if the NBL has more control over that it might actually be for the best? I know there were disputes between NBL clubs and M&N about how the uniforms should look, and in the end M&N ended up just agreeing to the plainest possible designs. I understand the 36ers jersey this year was meant to have the Adelaide skyline in the background but that fell through. Little touches like this would make bland jerseys interesting and maybe this will give the league an opportunity to patent its own style.

It is not really a partnership with First Ever as the NBL owns (start up) First Ever - with Justin Kestelman as CEO.

The clubs and league have been designing the jerseys anyway, so nothing will change on that front.

But Nike etc. are LEECHES according to LK. hahahahhaha

KET I'm glad I started the thread then. Good writeup.

#1. So how do you propose to get all the uniforms on time and EARLY when maybe 2 months notice is needed to produce sad Uniforms and said side hasn't been selected?
#2 How is that all meant to happen when said sponsors may still be in the pipeline? Badly aligned? Maybe you need a new Uniform maker?
#3. So who pays for the new layouts? Perhaps they need 21st C logos for starters?
#4. " or implement it in a counter intuitive way" What the hell is that speak?
#5. Opening statement " It's pretty basic apparel but i think it actually looks reasonable."
Your point was?

Yep.

So they will make all the jerseys? Mitchell and Ness gone? What a shame! A big name sponsor like Nike or Under Armour would of been great.

Hope it turns out well. But not convinced.

I think I prefer the kmart stuff. that is some ugly shit right there.

A mate who works at a Sydney car dealership that supplies cars to the Kings imports during the season has told me that Kevins car is being returned on Saturday........to his knowledge it will not be replaced.
Potentially, a less than gracious exit.
