Is It Tee Time?

Throwbacks have been all the rage recently, but one future-focused franchise wants to throw forward. The Warriors unveiled a unique uni on Monday: a tight-fitting t-shirt that will take the place of the typical tank top on a trial basis in at least a trio of games. It's a hole-less, whole new look, designed by Adidas, a remake over a year in the making. The company claims the material 26% lighter than existing outfits, as if featherweight Stephen Curry needs to have less heft. Additionally, Adidas asserts that the clothing is comprised of 60% recycled material, so if you think the garb pops, it could be because it was previously bottles of pop. Golden State will debut the duds on February 22 during a nationally televised home game.

We may be from New Jersey, but that doesn't mean we like these new jerseys. Being interesting and innovative isn't enough if they are also impractical. Our advice to Adidas on tinkering with the traditional threads: Sleeve them alone.
