As a lifelong NBA fan, I’ve seen my fair share of hideous NBA jerseys. A few immediately come to mind. Think the gold and black Wizards jerseys, the Spurs’ black camouflage military appreciation night joints, and especially those weird golden Kings jerseys — just thinking about them gives me chills.
With that being said, the new Dallas Mavericks City jerseys for this season absolutely take the cake. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything this bad before.
The font looks like it was pulled out of some kid’s 5th grade coloring book. Also, fam, since when was this much lime green acceptable in literally any walk of life? Look at these.
Poor Kristaps Porzingis. For him to have to stand in front of that backdrop and strike a “how do you do, fellow kids?” pose like that is a Latvian tragedy. Please, for the love of everything good in this world, do not make Luka Doncic wear this.
Here’s a closer look.
The jerseys will debut on November 26 when Dallas plays the Clippers. Apparently, the team’s theme for the jerseys is art and basketball which, uh, sure this is art.
Twitter roast sessions are normally unwarranted and unnecessary. But in this case? Twitter was absolutely correct and fans didn’t hold back at all.
At the end of the day, these are bad. But they’re only just jerseys and these are only just jokes. The Mavericks are still good and Luka Doncic is still spectacular, so you have a lot to look forward to this season Mavs fans.
Just know that whatever lies ahead also comes with seeing these jerseys 22 times throughout this year.
