Why are they pushing this so hard? Is this the new style for this decade?

I hate sleeves. They always disrupt shooting form. They claim the new material aides in relieving that issue, but I tried U.A and I didn't like it, but it's also a psychological thing as well. Visually, as far as fashion sense is concerned, I think it looks ridiculous. They remind me of children's leagues shirt/jerseys.

the crest looks like the former hornets one tbh, is the All-star game gonna be played in New Orleans or Charlotte?

bingo

NFL Football is not the most popular sport in the US for no reason. The more you cover up the players, the better, white fat american fans can more easily identify with generic team logos and colors that the players natural/synthetic features and skin color

If Stern and the rest of NBA marketing had their say, they'd wrap the players up like mummies. It's all about selling the product.

it's the same reason why white land owners had their cotton fields way out in the back of the house

There is more real estate they can plaster advertisements on. This season is probably a test and you will see companies all over it next year.

typical, corporations and our government always doubling down on terrible ideas. they figure if people don't like it, they'll just push it more til you capitulate.

hopefully this design of jersey will trigger several players to officially come out, just like Shaq and T-Mac did in the 07' all-star game.

Ugly as hell. I'm not necessarily opposed to sleeves, but I am to these.

Oh and NBA is pushing them because people are more likely to wear sleeves than sleeveless.

Rogue, the all star game is in NOLA this year.
