Cairns Taipans Home 2019-20 A fairly minimal evolution from last year, a new brush typeface for the numbers, simpler all-white collar, and an updated snake motif in the side panels. Last year my feeling was that the snake pattern should have been used for the whole side panel, and this year they’ve done exactly that. Although I’d still like it to be a little more subtle – because I’m picky.

I really like the orange/navy combo, but kind of wish they’d gone with navy for the collar instead of white, and featured more navy in the side panels. The taipan head attached to the top of the wordmark still feels superfluous.

Brisbane Bullets Home 2019-20 The most important thing here is that the bizarre script wordmark and number from last year’s jersey is gone. In its place is a relatively standard block font, but again it’s weird that they’ve gone with a seemingly custom wordmark for the jersey that doesn’t match the rest of their brand – the wordmark in their logo would work just fine, I don’t know why they fescue to use it on the jersey.

The stripy side detail is s better than last year’s stars (which have moved to inside the collar), but the collar is a downgrade. They were the only team that had a single colour contrasting colour collar last year, and should have stuck with it – yes, the stripe on the collar matches the wordmark, but its uneven, and that ruins it. The do, however, get points for not adding a white outline to the yellow wordmark, and vice-versa on the number.

Adelaide 36ers Home 2019-20 Much like last season the 36ers have one of the better jerseys, and in many ways it’s better because it’s simpler. The feathery details down the sides are quite nice and include the only touch of red on this year’s jersey. The wordmark hasn’t changed, but now has an outline that frames the wordmark as a whole rather than outlining each letter individually.

Only thing that really bothers me is that the wordmark outline appears to be be light grey/silver, whereas the completely unnecessary outline on the number is the champagne gold colour from their logo.

A solid red collar, or maybe a read outline on the word mark instead of grey might have been nice. There are no sleeve cuffs on this year’s First Ever template, which – at least for me – cheapens the overall look, making them look more like the ‘budget’ Fanatics-made NBA jerseys, rather than something a pro team would be wearing.
