Leaked Denver Nuggets city edition jerseys look surprisingly good…..
I’ll be upfront here; I’m generally not a fan of city edition jerseys. I am a big fan of NBA jerseys and I love throwbacks and even some alternates throughout the years. But the city edition jerseys have always seemed like an uncreative money grab by the league to try and sell more merchandise.
I don’t hate the idea in general, but the execution has been consistently poor for years. The jerseys leave a lot to desire and have been sadly underwhelming. Most years, I can count on one hand the amount of these jerseys across the league that I actually like. And frankly, most of them are an abomination to the great game of basketball and the history of the NBA.
It goes without saying that I had very low hopes for the city edition jerseys this year. By now, all I can really hope for is that they don’t utterly destroy the viewing experience for fans or cause eye strain.
The Nuggets’ city edition jersey is among the greatest at first glance.
The majority of the jerseys were leaked recently, and I’m startled to report that, in my opinion, the Nuggets’ version is better. I’m trying to be optimistic here, but some of this may definitely be due to my low expectations for success with these jerseys. They did a great job, in my opinion, and the jerseys actually seem rather comfortable.
The jersey is now only available in white, but it cleverly keeps the vintage rainbow pattern in the typography on the front and along the sides. The team finds the color scheme to be quite distinct and well-balanced.
If the dark jersey isn’t done well, they could still lose this entirely, but the white jersey offers me hope. Although it’s not a deal breaker for me, my one issue with the leak is that I’m not a big fan of the 5280 lettering on the front instead of “Denver” or “Nuggets.
The fact that I enjoy the Nuggets’ city edition jersey is extremely pleasing to me, considering how awful most other teams’ jerseys look. Ultimately, after examining the remaining teams, I felt that my preseason judgments were sound. Some of them nearly seem like cruel jokes (hey, Celtics!). They look awful.
However, this only serves to increase my gratitude for the Nuggets’ respectable-looking jersey. Even though we were fortunate to avoid a bullet, the black jersey may still destroy everything. However, Nuggets supporters should be relieved that their city edition jerseys aren’t entirely awful for the time being.
