The sleeved madness continues

Brooklyn Nets to wear Dodger colors to honor the Brooklyn Dodgers

As much as the sleeves have been universally hated, this actually makes a little bit of sense

It probably isn't one of the worst sleeved jerseys we've seen, but that's not saying much. Let the madness end with this season.

the sleeves seem longer then normal so my guess is they just tried to make baseball type jerseys.

The photo makes me think of gross pit stains... perhaps if people get used to this look, there would be more real estate to place ads, if/once the NBA decides to allow ads on jerseys.

Are they actually going to play baseball in them? Because otherwise, no; just no.

looks like a 5 dollar t shirt you find at your local thrift shop

It's funny how people are saying that fans will more likely wear a sleeved jersey than a non-sleeved jersey. But sleeved jerseys that have a wearable style will just kill off t-shirt sales if they are a reasonable price.

Judging by this, they won't be.

they're selling t-shirt versions for $28, but they're also selling allstar t-shirts without the official (and hideous) "w" and "e" logos for $30. but official swingman (mid-tier) all star jerseys go for $120. so i guess their angle is that nba jerseys don't sell as well as other sports so they are trying to make them more casual and try to sell more shirts to make up for the lack of jersey sales.

what i dont get is that they were already selling "t-shirt jerseys" before last season when they started making nba teams wear them, so do they think by making the teams wear them and pushing them they'll sell more?
