Sports Fan Displays His Vision of Brooklyn Uniforms and Court

A guy by the name of Tim E. O'Brien tweaks uniforms and courts as a hobby, and he introduced his ideas for the Brooklyn Nets' jerseys and court design.

 

Here is his website.

 

He shares his ideas on Uni Watch Blog:

The differences are subtle but significant. The five stars have different placement to fit with the modern cut of NBA uniforms (three on the shorts, two on the jersey), the red stripe loops over the shoulder and the blue isn’t as navy as it was in the 70s.

 

If the ‘NETS’ and uni numbers on the jersey look a bit off center, that’s because they are. Combine that with the road blue’s vertical ‘Brooklyn’ on the red stripe and you have one of the most idiosyncratic uniforms in the NBA.

 

And with the move to Brooklyn comes a move to the soon to be built Barclays Center. With such a fancy new home, you need a fancy new court and that is precisely what I tried to give the Nets.

 

With this rebrand I tried to convey a unification between this historic organization and its brand new home, but only wins will convince the people of Brooklyn to make the Nets their own.

I've been in favor of using the Hardwood Classics as our regular jerseys in Brooklyn.

One thing I have against O'Brien's idea is having Brooklyn displayed down the red stripe on the road jersey. I'd rather see 'BKLN' or 'Brooklyn' replace the 'New York' text, while the red stripe stays blank.
