While Nike, Jordan Brand and the NBA now offer several editions of jerseys for each franchise, Devin Booker has only one regret: that Nike ended the tradition of outfits dedicated to Christmas games. From 2012 to 2016, franchises that had the honor of playing on Christmas wore unique jerseys that night.
We remember in 2013 outfits with a huge logo on the front. There were jerseys with sleeves, or even outfits with cursive writing for the names of the teams to use the font of the greeting cards.
“I miss his jerseys” assures Devin Booker. “I hope they will go back to the Christmas shirts. There were good ones. Some are classics. On the other hand, the star of the Suns does not want to see jerseys with sleeves again. ” I do not like it. I was not a fan of sleeves”.
An opinion that does not share Grant Williams, the Celtics winger. “I always thought we shouldn’t have taken them off because I thought they were cool. People have always hated them. I didn’t have to wear them, but as a fan, I enjoyed them. »
While he participated in 10 Christmas matches, Udonis Haslem recalls that the sleeves are not part of the DNA of basketball. “I have always played with sleeveless shirts. When we are kids, we play without jerseys. It’s swimwear versus no swimwear. I couldn’t stand it, and it was the same with the new balls. Remember when they tried to set up new balloons. Everyone hated them. These are two things that the NBA tried to put in place, and I didn’t really want them. »
