This is the style point of the day. The Cavaliers have unveiled their new line of jerseys for next season. Sobriety is the key word for this achievement, stamped with the official NBA equipment supplier aka Nike. It’s in these uniforms that Darius Garland and Evan Mobley will try to earn a place in the Playoffs next year, so it’s worth taking a look anyway.
Jerseys in team sports are an institution in their own right. Each year, the clubs and their equipment manufacturers must compete in imagination to be able to pleasantly surprise the fans while not denying the aesthetic origins of the club, and what makes up its visual identity. In Cleveland, the identity has been very simple for several years, centered around four colors which are roughly black, burgundy red, golden yellow and white. Too simple ? Think once more, sometimes it is not enough to create stylish pieces capable of catching the eye. Here are the three new jerseys that will dress the Cavaliers this season, variety is undoubtedly also one of the main axes of this creation. All the things to find are there, no risk but no mistakes… the choice is made here. If you take a look at the comments, the fans are quite divided. Tastes and colors as they say.

Three jerseys, three ways to represent Cleveland and the Cavaliers spirit. Home (white)? Cavs inscription and reference to the past of the franchise with the net in the V. The outside (red)? It mightn’t be simpler but extremely effective, defenders will have the opportunity to have the ‘Cleveland’ printed on their foreheads if they try to stop Evan Mobley. the statement (black) ? The iconic C of the Cavaliers of the past ten years, worn by LeBron James, Kyrie Irving but also and above all JR Smith. Some will still say it’s always the same, I just have to keep mine next season“. Yes okay, but go back to the first line of this paper. Taking risks with such sports institutions? It feels a bit like jumping into fire. No, we are in agreement here on the substance and the form. The only downside? The home shirt does not have any color reminders at the openings, a detail that has brought a lot to this tunic in the past and which makes it somewhat similar to a training shirt. Supervision of the project is signed Daniel Arsham, an internationally renowned designer from Cleveland who was hired by the franchise as artistic director in 2020. More jerseys are potentially coming for the Cavs, so stay tuned.
There you go, Cavaliers fans, you can judge: your team has certainly not deigned to get wet on its classics, but few other teams have done so in the NBA in recent years. Ah yes, there is Minnesota. It seems that today they equip town halls in need of reflective vests.
