Times are changing. We have advanced as a society in general, and the sporting community is not exempt from this. Generally, we see our society advances as the latest technology, faster internet, or improved transportation. Sports have also evolved over the years. The style of play and athletic records have evolved each year for each sport. You may have also noticed advances made to athletic uniforms. Over the years, the NBA Jersey has evolved. The style, the material, the sponsoring companies have all changed over time. Fabric has evolved from thick polyester, to lighter weight, more breathable materials. Shorts have gone from short to long based on athlete preferences. This past season we saw another change as the Golden State Warriors added sleeves to their jersey. These changes have helped with the comfort of the athletes and helps aid in making them perform to the best of their ability. Athlete comfort has increased, and styles have also conformed to the decade fashion.
