Sleeved jerseys are popping up here and there throughout the NBA, much to the chagrin of fans and players alike. For many, many years, the sleeveless look has dominated NBA jerseys, and has become part of the image of the professional basketball player.
Someone got the idea in their head that this sort of change would be a good idea, whether it was a simpler and cost-reducing manufacturing process or the result of a vote on a poll that posed a question about what was needed to bring a fresh image to the NBA.
Needless to say, they’re not well-received. The powers-that-be in the NBA should take notice soon. “Don’t fix what ain’t broke” they say.
A shout out goes to NESN for this story.
