In reply to jared. I have seen the all-star jerseys, and I promise you, they are sleeved.

In reply to jared. "Next thing you know the All-Star jerseys will have sleeves." You clearly don't read Paul Lukas.

The “Spanish” shirts are a disgrace. Other than that, I think some uppity up somewhere has told the NBA that all the tattoos in the league are detrimental to it’s image. The shirts is just a way to cover them up. Next we’ll see turtlenecks and snow pants!!

Business wise these jerseys make perfect sense, and I actually like them. Wearing a tank top in public (especially over the age of 20), is not a very good look, and I would be far more likely to wear one of these versus a normal NBA jersey anywhere outside of game. The popularity of European soccer jerseys outside of sporting events (even here in the US) proves this point, because they can be worn like a normal shirt. Therefore these will likely sell much better than current jerseys and are here to stay.

In reply to Matt Karweick. I agree with Matt. I'm not a fan of the sleeved jerseys at all, nor I think that the NBA is being lazy with the Latin Night thing. It would of been better if it had Los Toros instead of Los Bulls or El Calor instead of El Heat or Los Soles instead of Los Suns or Las Espuelas as opposed to Los Spurs,

Just when I thought that things could not get sadder and more pathetic for this league. Next thing you know the NBA will cater desperately to other target groups in the stands to buy these crappy products: pink sleeved shirts for Ladies Night! Sleeved shirts with dragons and team names spelled out in characters for China Night! Sleeved shirts with printed on gold chains and bullet holes for Gangsta Night! Long sleeved shirts with printed on white shirt, tie and lapels for that favourite of David and his cronies: Lawyer and Administrator Night! That Brooklyn shirt is a disgrace to old Brooklynites and other old school Dodger fans: try to cash in on broken hearts and sad goodbyes. Shameless! Send the UN bluehelmets into the NBA HQ right now, make them capture those responsible for marketing and PR, send them to minor league baseball and hockey leagues for compulsory re-education and liberate the game of professional basketball once and for all from these forces of evil. They have been traumatizing basketball fans for years.

In reply to Jed. *money* should have been added right after the word extra...my apologies.

Enough of these sleeved jerseys already. They are absolutely abysmal and just another way for the NBA to grab the extra that fans might have left over to buy junk like this. What an idiotic idea!

As a long time NBA fan, it’s just depressing to see your favorite team’s jersey be forced on a “sleeve” that’s designed by the Adidas team of no creativity, no taste and no class… I love my team, but I wouldn’t buy any sleeved jersey designed so poorly even if I just won the lottery. Is there not a single person in the NBA/Adidas organization realizing how pathetic this is? Please stop.

You gota be kidding me, the NBA marketing & graphic design department must be full of blind crack-heads. Those are some of the most hideous jersey’s I’ve ever seen. The sleeve designs are bad enough, then u put an argyle sweater on the back?? I just puked. And I have no problem w/the latino month but I think either u drop it or all sports celebrate more than one or two ethnicity’s, plus I agree w/others the Spanglish is just so stupid.

In reply to Patrick.

The Brewers have had “Cerveceros” jerseys forever (the Giants have “Gigantes,” the Cardinals have “Cardinales,” and so on), and did “Bierbrauer,” “Birrai” and “Piwowarzy” jerseys…all of which have been a HUGE success among their communities.

Basically, when you translate the team’s name, you’re letting ’em know you’re trying to be THEIR equipo, and not just a foreign “El Teamo” as the NBA has it…

In reply to Matt Karweick. Bulls is a proper noun, you don't typically translate proper nouns (even if their improper form may have a translation) when going from English-Spanish, or vice versa.

These are so freakin’ ugly! Back when I was in elementary school we had better jersey’s than this!
