What Uniforms with Adidas "bless" the NBA with on Christmas Day?

              I understand it is a special day. I understand that on special days people like to wear special things. But, were the short sleeved uniforms worn by the NBA teams who played Christmas day last year even special? No. I would describe them as outright ugly. When I think basketball, I think cut-off jerseys with big block letters of the team name and the player’s number donning the front of the jersey. But, what we saw last year was what looked like a skin tight warm up jersey with an oversized logo on the front.
             I don’t know exactly what Adidas was trying to achieve with this new style of basketball jersey, but it was definitely one I don’t want to see again in the NBA. For a special holiday of Christmas, I do like the idea of changing things up for the day, but there are numerous different ways of attacking that idea without going completely downhill by creating a skin tight short sleeved basketball jersey. Using those words to describe a basketball uniform just sounds wrong.

             I think that for the special Christmas jerseys, it would be fun to see the athletes wear throw back uniforms. Or another idea would be for Adidas to design uniforms in like a secondary color, for example Oklahoma City could wear orange jerseys. Also a big trend that seems to sweeping the sports nation is for teams to have a tribute for the armed forces, so it would be cool to see the jerseys have some type of camo or patriotic theme integrated into their uniforms.
            I will be interested to see what style of uniforms the NBA debuts on Christmas day this year. I feel like anything will be a step up from last years. If Adidas wants to continue to have exponential growth in their basketball department, they definitely need to have a slam dunk with their 2014 design!
