"Shift back to light colors at home and dark colors on the road"

YES. I tweeted about this the other day but the Magic are wearing their white Association look 20x this season... and zero times at home. Anymore it seems like the only point of the white jersey is to serve as a contrast to whatever flashy, colored alternate uniform the home team is wearing.

Like you said, less is more.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the combinations anymore. If they designs were excellent, it'd be easier to accept. But they're bland! Might as well lean in on classic looks, keeping it simple.

right, it feels like every fanbase has at least one classic uniform they can agree on. Why not just cycle those back in instead of coming up with new designs from scratch every year?

Loved this issue Mike!! Thank you 😃

Agree 100% with you about this “Get team sponsors off of fan jerseys: The patches are fine in-game. But I’m not paying upwards of $150 to be somebody’s billboard.”

I don’t buy jerseys but yeah we can say the same thing about brand in general that makes their logos soooo big and visible you wonder what’s the deal here? Northface i’m talking to you and Nike with their Nike Pro line (it was cool and stylish in the beginning but now the Nike Pro is sooo big it’s just ugly!!)

This this this! I don't mind a logo if it's used in an artistic way. Nine times out of ten, it's just kinda there lol. The fewer logos, the better.
