Long-sleeved jerseys in the NBA are terrible. Yes, this is the opinion reflected by DIME, but it’s not just a bunch of grouchy people sitting behind a computer hating change. (Though that is absolutely what’s happening as well.) Rather, ask some of the top players in the league and they’ll tell you they feel the same way.
Golden State Warriors guard and MVP Stephen Curry told DIME last year he prefers traditional jerseys. He wasn’t the only one, either. “I remember seeing LeBron [James] talking about it, tugging on his arm, his shooting arm or what have you,” Curry said.
Which brings us to these new long-sleeved jerseys for the Cleveland Cavaliers that have been leaked by SportsLogos.net. However, there’s no official word on if these jerseys will see the light of day or when. You can see pics of the concepts belo–WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOSE????????
The shorts seem like they’re fairly normal. The jersey tops, though, are pretty sleek. They’re simplistic, with the logo front and center and the number — in this case, Lebron’s — in the top right-hand corner. Look it even has James’ name on the back. All of this is pretty neat.
That is, if you’re a six-year-old wearing pajamas to bed.
