I have obtained confirmation, via an official Adidas catalog, of the 7 teams next season that will receive the new designs*. (We have already

Orlando Magic will wear “Stars” alternate jersey for 2016-17 season
The Orlando Magic are already in possession of one of the least-appealing jerseys in the NBA — their sleeved gray alternates are probably better suited as a flashy pajama outfit than as a basketball uniform. However, the team may have “topped” those gray alts with their latest offering in the
The Minnesota Timberwolves are probably headed for a rebrand
Other than a significant tweak/update to their primary logo ahead of the 2008-09 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have had the same look and color scheme since the 1996-97 season. Unless you’re a blueblood team like the Lakers, Celtics, or Bulls, having the same identity for two decades is an eternity
2016 NBA Playoffs: New “Court Bracket” Style
Now that the 2016 NBA Finals are complete and the Cavaliers have been crowned first-time champions, I’d like to officially release my all-new bracket graphic, the “court bracket”. As I explained in my post about the NHL Playoffs “rink bracket“, I wanted to challenge myself to create something more aesthetically appealing and sport-specific, I’ve attempted to
Golden St Warriors: Phantom “Back to Back” NBA Champs
The Golden State Warriors just couldn’t quite do it, there will be no “Back to Back” championship for the Bay Area as the Warriors came just a few crucial points short against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in Oakland… meanwhile the City of Cleveland is enjoying the end of a lengthy

Nine Throwback Uniforms in Store for 2016-17 NBA Season
Every season, the NBA selects certain teams to wear “Hardwood Classics” throwback uniforms for various games in the year, and next season is no different. I have obtained confirmation, via an official Adidas catalog, of the 9 teams involved next season and the designs they will be wearing*. Three teams, the Mavericks,
Sacramento Kings go ahead and officially unveil new uniforms
Yesterday, we shared with you all the news that the Sacramento Kings’ new uniforms were leaked via the NBA 2K video game. In the same post, Conrad Burry decided to go ahead and share his renders of educated guesses of what the new uniforms would look like. As it turns
2016-17 Sacramento Kings Jerseys Leaked
It appears as if the NBA 2K Store has released the 2016-17 Sacramento Kings uniforms for purchase in their video game. A series of screenshots from the store was shared with me not long ago, and I’ve used those images to update my uniform renders of the home and away
Cavaliers will wear sleeved black jerseys for Game 5 of NBA Finals
You don’t normally see teams break out alternate uniforms for the NBA Finals — much less sleeved alternates. Normally, this is a time where NBA teams decide to just stick with their normal rotation of two home/away uniforms, and for the most part, the Cleveland Cavaliers have done that. Granted,
A look at the 2016 NBA Christmas Day uniforms
You may not be feeling anything close to the Christmas spirit right now — I don’t blame you since the calendar has just flipped to June. However, you may want to throw on your tackiest Christmas sweater and your cute little elf hat just for the time being, because we’ve
Oklahoma City Thunder 2016 West “Phantom” Champs Merchandise
They almost pulled off the impossible, eliminating a team that went 73-9 in the regular season, but the Oklahoma City Thunder couldn’t finish it off despite taking a 3-1 lead in the best of 7 after game four. So it’s back to the NBA Finals for the Golden State Warriors, setting up
