Those who collect memorabilia or just enjoy rocking fresh NBA gear may look more forward to the annual All-Star Game uniform release than the announcement of the names voted to start in the contest.
In the early s , the Association had players wear standard club jerseys instead of uniforms designed specifically for Eastern and Western Conference All-Star teams. Fortunately, it seems that idea is nothing but a memory moving forward, as marketing gurus and jersey developers have learned that customers and fans are willing to spend on new NBA products each season.
The short shorts remained part of basketball culture for decades thanks for killing those off, Fab Five , and the lack of team names made these look more like warmups than actual uniforms. Never underestimate, though, how a good belt can complete a sports ensemble.
The colors pop nicely in photographs and video highlights, and there isn't an excessive amount of stars on the tops. These would look great during the s.
Remember, future uniform designers, that not all of us are thin enough to rock horizontal stripes placed on our sports merch. Less really is more in many cases, such as the All-Star jerseys the NBA presented to players and fans during the second half of the s.
The words and numbers on the tops are bright and visible. Make the shorts longer, NBA, and you could bring these bad boys back for one year anytime. Those of you capable of appreciating what the moment meant and were able to find them at the time can freely admit you owned Magic Johnson NBA All-Star Game jerseys. This is a safe space. Graphic writing, a massive off-centered star that housed a cactus and bright colors all give an example of the types of jackets and other apparel many owned at the time.
Look at what you did, San Antonio. The stars on either side of the jerseys take nothing away from the font and numbers. Those color combinations work for every season. You probably never want to see them again. Truth be told, the league could only improve in this department after , or so we'd hope. Once again, we encounter the issue of horizontal stripes, this time two decades after the s.
Idea: Remove them, replace them with enlarged numbers and then relocate the stars to the sides. The shorts can stay to honor the era. The digits on the fronts were perfectly placed and sized.
The sides of the ensembles were loud but not deafening. You did well here, NBA. J drop 30 points and 12 boards, but the West won a thriller — The East won The top three scorers for the East? I think we all know what happened later that summer. As of right now, these just look cleaner. The highlight of the weekend came when Blake Griffin jumped over the hood of a Kia in the dunk contest. Kobe, however, took home MVP honors with 37 points, 14 rebounds and one memorable dunk on and two blocks of The King.
I respect the subtle homage to the All-Star Game unis. Also, an All-Star Weekend in Vegas? I bet that was … fun. At least the league gave all three of us some incredibly dope jerseys to remember. Seriously, part of me wanted to place this higher. Jerseys are basically about what looks dope and sleek wearing to cookouts now. Long gone are the days of wearing jerseys that are 27x too big. One, the colorway of the jerseys always stuck out to me — deep, dark colors on the shoulders and chest to lighter blue and red at the waist.
Two, that ridiculous LeBron vs. Durant duel which served as a preview of the Finals four months later. Three, Kobe Bryant looking pissed at James for not taking the final shot at the end of regulation.
And, four, while this game was being played, a young boy from South Florida by the name of Trayvon Martin lost his life. His tragic murder started a movement. Mannnnn, listen. This jersey is still glorious. And leave it to M. The chest bump with Allen Iverson was classic, too.
