Your 1-10, cellar-dwelling Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled their 2018 City Edition uniforms today and they are nothing if not a fitting sartorial choice for a 1-10, cellar-dwelling basketball team. (You can read more about the “inspiration” and meaning behind all the details of the aforementioned garbage duds at the link above.)
Some assemblage of players, at least those who are not injured, will wear these garish getups for six games this year, all of which they will almost assuredly lose.
Here are some garbage quotes from the principles involved.
“The new City Edition uniform tells the story about The Land that we love – Cleveland,” said Cavaliers CMO Tracy Marek. “Collaborating on design with Nike is always a great opportunity, and to work with Destination Cleveland to represent the city’s brand on our uniform is something that is very special and unique for any team. We know the players and our fans will wear the Cleveland City Edition with pride.”Cavs basketball! It’s garbage!“Pride in Cleveland has been higher in the past few years due in large part to the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers championship, and the Cavaliers decision to feature Destination Cleveland’s script wordmark on the 2018-19 City Edition jersey says so much about the team’s commitment to being champions of the city as well as on the court,” said Colette Jones, Vice President of Marketing at Destination Cleveland.

Perfect for a pro wrestling jobber — all that’s missing is a matching satin jacket.
What a douche bag article! Scene has become steamy pile of trash! Would this article be written with such hatred if LeBron was still on the team? I doubt it.
It usually takes MLB team a couple of years to fall off the cliff. Amazing how the Cavs did it in ONE DAY.
The last four years were a sunny and mild day in the middle of winter. It’s back to years of shitty hoops.
That’s harsh commentary. I’m OK seeing how the kids play this year, but it’s going to take time.
At least the Marketing Department didn’t make the jerseys look like guitars.
Local garbage publication writes piss poor lazy article about area basketball team that gave this city years and years of joy and finals competition. You are s p o i l e d
The new jerseys remind me of the Tide Laundry Pods.
This guy is getting paid to write!!!! Wow thats garbage!
The city jerseys are actually quite nice, and a refreshing splash of color compared to last year’s gray edition. What’s with the massive return of self-pity and negativity within the ranks of northeast Ohio sports journalists? Allow me this bit of advice: STOP. The King brought honor to the team, the city, Akron, and Ohio. Granted the owner’s politics do not make it easy for us in light of the King’s retirement…but PERHAPS one day the King could OWN the team, and return order to the Land.
