Cleveland Cavaliers City Edition 2021-22 Give this a wordmark on the chest instead of a full logo and its a winner. The logo is just too detailed, but if it was just the arched ‘Cavaliers’ on it’s own and it would work well. Very pleased it is only wine and gold, with no trace of black in sight.
Chicago Bulls City Edition 2021-22 I’ve always liked this Chicago script, and think it should feature more often on Bulls jerseys. Maybe wouldn’t have minded some subtle black pinstripes on the red would have been nice. I know the weirdly low offset number is throwback, but it’s an unnecessary one, lift it up and these are much better.
Charlotte Hornets City Edition 2021-22 It’ll sell well because of LaMelo, and that should be the only reason. The gradient on the jersey (not the shorts, they should be a solid colour) could almost be forgiven if not for the horrendous inclusion of the honeycomb pattern. I know it’ll be popular in corners of the internet, but those folk are wrong, sorry.
Brooklyn Nets City Edition 2021-22 Quite good all around. I much prefer this to the tie-dye variation from last season, the side detailing is nice, but I would have liked to have seen bigger stars more reminiscent of the jerseys its inspired by.
Boston Celtics City Edition 2021-22 The Celtics are one of those teams that probably just shouldn’t have “other” jerseys, but this is relatively inoffensive, and a good nod to one of their originals. The only bit I don’t really like is the unnecessary use of grey side panels on the shorts. And while I know sponsors patches aren’t great, I do like that Vista Print have allowed a variety of flexibility in how they appear on each of the Celtics jerseys this season.
Atlanta Hawks City Edition 2021-22 Not the design I would have chosen to riff off of, I’d have gone with one of the 70s/80s designs (probably the one that goes with the featured wordmark). Not sure about Atlanta in full yellow, but at least they stayed away from the temptation of a gradient.
