Trail Blazers Unveil New Uniforms, Subtle Changes

The Portland Trail Blazers unveiled their new “Association” and “Icon” uniforms earlier today, and fortunately they realize their look didn’t need a lot of tweaking.

“There’s some subtle differences,” said Dewayne Hankins, Portland Trail Blazers Chief Marketing Officer said in the release. “What we learned through this process is that, much like the pinwheel, there aren’t a lot of changes that our fans were asking for. We’re lucky to have pretty classic uniforms.”

The subtle differences to which Mr. Hankins is alluding to include the updated pinwheel logo on the shorts, a non-italic wordmark across the chest, the addition of the “ripcity” logo across the waistband, and slight changes to the colouring of the player name and number on the back.

The changes you see on the “icon” set above are replicated on the “association” set, basically they cleaned the uniforms up where they needed to be. An improved look overall for sure.

The team, along with the other 29 teams in the league, are still set to unveil their other two uniforms in the fall. The Blazers did not include an advertisement patch on the jerseys we see released today but the club is still looking to add one in time for the season.
