On Monday, the Warriors will unveil their yellow, alternate uniforms. They will be the first team in the modern NBA era to play in something other than a tank top.

The Warriors will debut the new unis for their Feb. 22 home game against the San Antonio Spurs, which is being aired on ESPN. They will also wear them March 8 vs. Houston and March 15 vs. Chicago.



ugh.. This shit is SO gross-

"It was the right moment, the right team," said Lawrence Norman, Adidas' vice president of global basketball. "Even more important, the right city. When you launch something as innovative as this -- that will change the way the players look on the court and the way the fans support the team forever -- why not launch it in the most innovative part of the United States?"
The new jersey is much less a T-shirt than the next phase in the evolution of basketball apparel.
It's being called the "adizero NBA short sleeve uniform system." And Adidas boasts it as a revolutionary marriage between performance and aesthetics.
The uniforms are

26 percent lighter than their traditional counterparts, which Adidas said its research revealed was most important to players. They come with the ever-popular moisture-absorbing feature. The sleeves are made with stretch fabric that wraps 360 degrees around the shoulder to ensure full range of motion, because anyone who has played basketball knows how a T-shirt's sleeve can interfere with a jumper.

Several Adidas schools will wear short sleeve compression jersey this season, including possibly Indiana, Louisville, UCLA, Kansas, Baylor.

i actually dislike color scheme of our jersey's more than actual jersey.

it'll look awkward on court in my opinion, BUT in terms of actually wearing a jersey. I'd wear it.

i don't like wearing sleeveless shirts on street ,lol. It screams 'socal bro' around here

i don't get how anyone can call lebron ugly to watch. He's got some sick-handles, and imo makes more wow plays than anyone

Seriously, that's the sort of stuff we stood against when our HS suggest it as uniform colors.

lol @ no1 Lebron assist. Kobe would never fall like that to the ground:o same for that crossover:o

Lebron has no grace, he is all about power. Kobe doesnt have enough power on the other hand. MJ, he had the perfect balance between grace and power :thumbsup:

Metta World Peace hasn't shot better than 50% in any of his past 17 games. #Lakers

Good think he's shooting MORE than Dwight and Nash (and Pau). Also averagng most 3 point attempts per game in his entire career.

Good job D'antoni.

it's not only to d antoni.
it's opposition also. sending double teams from lakers worst shooter-> mwp

yeah but he was worst shooter previous 2 years and this wasn't the case...

it's the system, designed to find him on kick out 3s. Really D'antoni? You think that's a good idea?


I mean he's averaging 6th most 3's in NBA. Ahead of Kobe, Melo, Lebron, Durant, peirce etc, etc.

how many of you watched the lakers heat game yesterday?

didnt you find kobe posting wade and even lebron and hitting 11 of 19 + 9 assist (even more if mwp would hit them at a reasonable rate) very enjoyable and deligtful to watch?

Kobe never guarded Lebron.

He was shaking both him and Wade at will though.

Artest used to be a great defender, but now hes just old and slow.

ron artest was a great defender

metta world peace is not.


it's ONLY amplified by wide open system. Yeah, how about an old guy trying to guard most athletic wing combo in open space.


God, the lakers really piss me off. Just so much coaching fail there. As much as I'm somewhat enjoying it (as a non-laker fan), it's also like cmon.... how can this guy be professional coach and not see the obvious

you know, this right here is exactly what people are saying about allegri.
But I dont think it's that easy. A coach has clear ideas and perspective about the game and than being in training every day with a team, it s not the same thing as observing it from outside

allegri changes his stuff up infinitely more than d'antoni. Not comparable

d antoni is at lakers for about 2months and their training like what, 3 times a week?

they have practice/film every day


'live practices' has more to do... with game schedule? but all nba teams do thru daily walk thru's discussing game plans, strategy etc.

what i'm saying is... d'antoni has a history of 'his approach>talent'

and thats wrong. He runs a system which is built for mid 00s suns.

-


I like the system, but it's a completely wrong fit

are you saying he should just change his name back?? :)

I think Dantoni is trying to make tweaks to the system to suit the players more, he is not trying to force uptempo basketball anymore. The problem with him is not the offense, its the disregard of defence. Lakers need a defensive coach.

Duuuuudeee that's one of the most disgusting things ever. Those shorts are on par with Bilbao's jersey of a while back as most horrible part of a uniform ive seen.
