Get ready to have an insider's look at the controversial design choices and the questionable creativity of the new NBA City Edition jerseys launched by Activision. We're going to lift the lid on the Golden State Warriors' jersey design, inspired by the San Francisco Hills, and the Los Angeles Clippers' hurried design that disappointingly falls short. Yet it's not all bad news, as we'll give a shout-out to the Clippers' 90s-inspired font choice. Switching lanes, we'll discuss the growing trend of recycled and throwback designs in the Pacific division, and give our ranking of these jerseys. Spoiler alert - the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers are the leaders of the pack, while the Clippers need to step up their game. We'll also dive into the hot topic of the overuse of black in many designs and stir up a lively debate on the future of NBA team jerseys. So buckle up, and let's navigate this fascinating world of NBA jerseys together. It's far from just a game of hoops; it's a game of style, creativity, and choices that either make or break the appeal. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/support

Get ready to listen in as we dissect the latest NBA City Edition jerseys in all their glory and missteps. We kick off with the Denver Nuggets and their 'Mile High City' slogan, which we think could use some improvement. From there, we transition to the Minnesota Timberwolves, admiring their unique handmade pattern and offering suggestions to elevate it. Then, the Oklahoma City Thunder's jersey leaves us initially puzzled, but we end up appreciating its simplicity against their other designs. In the second half of our discussion, we rank the City Edition jerseys of the NBA's Northwest division teams. Our journey starts with the Minnesota Timberwolves, whose innovative design and color use win our hearts. Next up, we have mixed feelings about the Utah Jazz's purple jersey, which seems too much like a redesign of their previous one. We place the Oklahoma City Thunder's clean, simple jersey in the middle, before critiquing the Denver Nuggets' jersey for being too reminiscent of their older ones. We end on a less positive note with the Portland Trail Blazers, whose jersey disappoints us with its lack of creativity.

Listen in as we dissect the latest city edition jerseys for three of the most prominent NBA teams: Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks. We begin by analyzing the Celtics' jersey, expressing our disappointment in its lack of city representation and suggesting ways they could have incorporated more elements of Boston. Shifting gears, we move on to the Nets' jersey, which earns our praise for its artistic inspiration from KAWS and its successful evocation of a New York vibe. Finally, we express our appreciation for the Knicks' jersey, but believe they could have pushed the city representation a bit further. In the second part of the episode, we extend our jersey critique to the entire NBA Atlantic Division. We explore the designs of the Knicks, Nets, Sixers, Celtics, and Raptors jerseys, sharing our personal likes and dislikes. Notably, we express our disappointment in the Raptors' design, which we felt lacked effort and creativity. After a thorough discussion, we rank the Nets as our favorite, followed by the Sixers, Knicks, Celtics, and lastly the Raptors. Join us as we navigate through the highs and lows of NBA jersey designs, and discuss how some teams could have better represented their city and fans in their city edition jerseys. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/support

Basketball fans, get ready to pull up a chair and join us for a lively, no holds barred conversation about NBA City Edition Jerseys. We're serving up our raw thoughts on these uniforms, starting with the Atlanta Hawks and their powerful tribute to the 1968 Relentless Pursuit. We also cover the Charlotte Hornets and their 'Buzz City' jeer, which, while cool on the surface, doesn't quite hit the mark when connecting back to the city. There's also the Miami Heat's 'Culture' jersey - a nice design, but lacking in the boldness we'd expect from Miami. In the second part of our chat, we sort these jerseys from the best to the rest. We crown the Washington Wizard's uniform as the top pick for really embodying the spirit of a true city edition. We dive into the nitty-gritty of what makes a jersey stand out from colors to logos and the all-important piping. Plus, we explore the fascinating tales behind these jerseys, enlightening our listeners on how the past weaves into the fabric of these uniforms. So, whether you're a basketball fanatic or a casual fan, you won't want to miss this episode filled with fun, laughs, and some serious jersey analysis! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gear-freaks/support
