I am an NBA fan and every team now has so many different uniforms that it is impossible to tell what teams are playing when you first turn on a game. I though uniforms were about establishing a brand, but now they actually hide the brand instead of emphasize it.
I thought this was mainly an NBA issue, but now it is starting in baseball also. The Boston Red Sox now have a set of uniforms that are yellow and light blue. I can't even wrap my head around how they came up with that. if oyu see a guy wearing a yellow baseball jersey on the street are you going to even think of the Red Sox?
I just don’t understand what happened with the NBA. About a decade ago, each team started rolling out an absurd number of uniforms (some of them even had sleeves ). A few years back, they were supposed to do away with “home” and “away” uniforms, and were going with “statement” and “city” uniforms. I swear they said each team would have a minimum of 3 options, and a maximum of 4.... that clearly wasn’t the case
Now it appears baseball is joining in on the bull****. I blame Oregon football for starting this crap 14 years ago.
