"Adidas unveils new Warriors jersey with sleeves" Mon Feb-11-13 01:29 PM by hardware
everybody's gonna freak out until they realize you'll look like 20% less of a tool in public than you will walking around with a rayon wife beater. still a tool tho. can you imagine players with no definition (Marc Gasol) rocking these?
but from a consumer standpoint, they may sell better if its more like a shirt like a soccer jersey, it looks normal when you wear it out and has more significance than a tshirt

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

stop
that is not an ultimate law....
soccer jersey, a pair of gap straight leg jeans, a pair of adidas sambas on, and a pea coat makes for a great Saturday, casual ensemble.....and then throw on a flat cap or cabbie to top it of.

who the hell said anything about dates?
and I've known dudes that have rocked them with some fresh H & M black slacks, a nice fitted off olive/beige military shirt to dates....looking fresh/classic like david beckham or idris.

so, wearing the following with a pair of classic black sambas on - and I'm pretty sure in this pic idris is probably rocking some clarks or classic gymshoes - on a casual sat afternoon brunch date would be terrible to you?

"The popularity of the Adidas Samba as a soccer shoe has caused it to transcend the soccer courts and move into popular culture, mostly worn as a fashion sneaker, and makes many appearances both on the silver screen and on television.
Some of these appearances include: Owen Wilson's character Randy Dupree wears a pair of Adidas Samba K (a classic model that uses kangaroo leather) virtually the whole time in the 2006 film You, Me, and Dupree. The song "Olé" by The Bouncing Souls features the lines: Lace your Sambas, get on out/Off we go to kick it about. Shia LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky wears a pair of black Sambas in the 2009 film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The shoe was a favorite in the 1970s Liverpool football casuals/scally subculture; indeed the shoe is an icon in the UK along with Reebok Classics. Every football player in the 2000 film Remember the Titans can be seen wearing Sambas either on the field or around. Kevin Seconds, lead singer of American hardcore punk 7 Seconds is an avid fan of classic black Sambas and wears them at all live performances. Ashton Kutcher wears Adidas Sambas in the 2010 film Valentine's Day and on That 70's Show. Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen wore white Sambas during the live performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody". Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley is seen wearing a pair of white Country 0 with green stripes in the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop. Adrian Grenier's character Vincent Chase, in HBO's Entourage, is seen wearing white Sambas with black stripes in Season 6 episode 10 "Berried Alive". Jamie Bell's character Joey Cassidy in the 2012 film Man on a Ledge could be easily recognized wearing black Adidas Samba classic throughout the story. Steven Yeun's character Glenn wears a pair of black Sambas in several episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead. These have the Adidas Samba Super: Gary Windass in Coronation Street. Aiden Scotcher in Waterloo Road. Ewan Mcgregor wears a pair of burgundy adidas Samba Super Suede in Trainspotting in the role of Mark Renton, 1996. References

Sleeves on a basketball jersey are not a new thing. A lot of pro and college teams wore sleeves back in the day. I think when Baylor was at Seattle they still had sleeves, for sure I remember seeing old photos of Tom Gola at La Salle with sleeves. The Celtics wore sleeves in the very early days of pro basketball as well (Late 40s/early 50s).
This is certainly a modern take on the sleeved jersey but I think it looks very good on the players/on the court. I would certainly not stuff my own torso into one, but I think the recent Rev 30 look from Adidas is not exactly fan friendly to begin with. Everything is tapered and long, made for guys with that KG/Odom type of build.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
