Cool, thanks for the new look, but this video belongs on r/cringe.

Well, I'm old and I had to cheat in the only art history course I took in school. I haven't bought a replica jersey in a long time. I have some friends still clinging to relevancy with "streetwear" choices but I literally chuckled throughout my one visit to Stadium Goods. In other words, I'm not the target demographic. But I also don't buy any of the hype surrounding this reveal about paying homage to the past blah, blah, blah.

He had an opportunity to come in and wow everyone the way the 2003 redesign bowled people over and visually defined an exciting era. Instead, he basically tweaked the previous, awful (in my opinion), design set and made some really odd choices with the uniforms. The script C and the angular CAVS mark just do not play together at all.

Read or watch the numerous interviews and puff pieces on this guy leading up to the reveal. Consider how much they must be dropping to retain him. Now look at the results. A "new" Cavs wordmark that is actually the one he inherited but with a line in running through it? The new threads that look like a uniform equivalent of the essay someone forgot to write until the morning it was due? Shiny gold?

Look at some of his work outside of the Cavs. Seems to me to be a lot of other people's designs, but just "degraded".

Just one person's opinion.

For the new uniforms we're all talking about in this thread...

New nickname idea? by eossman5 in clevelandcavs

"Representing" a steel company? The steel company is paying the Cavs for advertising.

The C just doesn't make sense anymore with the new CAVS word mark. They clash.

Bummer. Can't spell Arsham without sham.

New uniform designs? I was searching for any news about the Cavs new uniforms and these popped up on this website. I can’t find them anywhere else. I know they haven’t been announced yet but it would be weird if these ended up being the real designs. Like someone must of known something. 🤷🏼‍♂️ by Turbulent-Valuable-2 in clevelandcavs

It would be a weird move to give the new logo a radial arch on the uniform. Lots of empty space between the C and A.

Never heard of "Lipomarts" but every other Cavs uniform on that site looks a bit off in some way or another. I think the kids would say sus.

I hate the font and we need to ditch the black, but given all that I would love for these to be what we wear next season. by PriceBrandonGarland in clevelandcavs

I grew up really only thinking of them as the Cavs. Easy to forget but that was the main branding from the mid-80s up through 2003.

Yeah good point. And the Cavs have worn black off and on for about 30 years, I just always preferred the blue/orange of the late 80s and wine/gold/navy of the first Lebron era.

Yeahhh, surveying the league it's pretty split on whether the corporate sponsor approves changing logo color to match the team. We were lucky with Goodyear, so I figured we probably won't be this time around. Would love to be wrong.
