Would have been nice to see a little teal thrown in to call back to the Vancouver origins (especially given how heavily they’re using the teal in their online graphics this season). It’s not really visible here but they’ve also thrown in some claw marks on the Memphis wordmark for some reason. Sure, it’s a detail, but it’s not really needed.
Overall I like this, aside from two minor – easy to fix – quirks. I realise the wonky Lakers script is by design, but I really don’t like it. And it would have been nice to see the stars brought in closer for jerseys with the single digit numbers. If not for the Clippers already wearing light blue, I’d suggest this might be even better in a reversed colour way.
In a word, yes. Take everything the Clippers are currently doing with their brand and place it in a dark, locked, cupboard somewhere it won’t be rediscovered. These are the colours they should be wearing, and the classic script is so much better than what they’re using now. Don’t really like the the old style numbers, but that’s an easy fix.
Stop wearing black. If they wanted something darker I would have much preferred the navy of their jerseys earlier in the 00s. Throw in a little bit of the orange from that same era, and make the lightning bolts on the sides more prominent. I don’t love the lack of a name/wordmark on the chest, but the Warriors are probably the one team that can get away with it.
