The new Charlotte Bobcats jersey design confirms my observation: V-neck jerseys are in!
The Philadelphia 76ers' new jersey for the season sports the a similar v-neck design of the Bobcats' new threads. But other than that, the design approaches are different.
While the 76ers took a step back to their roots, the Bobcats went forward and left the campy old design. They did away with the stylized "Bobcats" and "Charlotte" text and just went with a straight forward font face. The team also did away with the horrendous looking italicized numbers.
Two design elements stands out in the design: first is the pinstripes, the second is the sublte orange and white lines on the edge of the neck hole and on the sides. I've never been too high on pinstripes but it helps "fill out" the space since the orange and white lines are too subtle and thin. I personally think that the jerseys suit the play of their current roster (Gerald Wallace, D.J. Augustin, and Tyson Chandler, to mention a few)
Over-all, the design is much better than the previous design-- by going to a more subtle direction, the Bobcats have elevated their previous look. Now if they could only just improve their team play...
