The Hard - Court Mirror - How Basketball Kits Impact Us
An all time favourite sport basketball has always been a dream of many youngsters especially in the U.S. to play in the big leagues. Big name players such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and now LeBron James dominate the wall paper scene of anyone's room.
Apart from the skills they contribute to the game of basketball the overall impact of the player depends also on the uniform they wear. Take for instance Michael Jordan who has been correspondingly brought up by the number 23 in a Chicago Bulls uniform. Take away the uniform and you have a half Air Jordan without the frills.
We can all see the way the present times have revolutionized the wearing of basketball kits or basketball uniforms. Rappers would incorporate them in their overall appearance and would give them that hip-hop signature look.
Going back to basketball, uniforms are design to ignite interest in a team by the way how they project themselves on the hard-court. The uniforms usually bring about the history and the glamour of a basketball team; one good example is the L.A. Lakers which has been in a yellow uniform since the start. Hollywood would always be the L.A. Lakers and yellow would be their official colour.
As for minor leagues basketball kits can contribute a great deal even for a losing team. At the end of any league there will be various awards up for grabs and usually it includes a team in a best in uniform category. So even if a team is a disaster in the standings they can still be winners with this category.
Basketball uniforms over the years have provided us with spectacle and creativity. Colours have been designed and mixed with variants to let out a look of uniqueness. For a hard-court hero in the NBA a complete image constitutes a complete marketing strategy off and on the court. Which makes basketball apparels a number one commodity for the consumers.
Before when Michael Jordan was continuously eliminating the Cleveland Cavaliers off the playoffs you haven't seen much of the Cavaliers uniform in the market. But when Lebron James arrived in the NBA the Cavaliers uniform suddenly became a hot ticket. Now we can see why basketball uniforms contribute a great deal to the whole atmosphere of a player and a specific league. The moment a player steps in the court people would always see how creative or how decorative the basketball uniform is even before he struts his talent.
