Dwight Howard and Deron Willams

This one is long overdue.  If you're a fan of the NBA at all, you understand the Dwightmare and the constant talk about where Dwight Howard may end up this season or next.  For Nets fans, we came thisclose to having him as our starting Center last March.  Now, the rumors are heating up again.  Well, I made a few Dwight graphics last year, but I haven't made anything featuring him in black and white.  Until now.

Of course, the whole point of having Dwight here (and why he wants to come at all) is to pair him up with Deron Williams.  The Dynamic Duo could be the best in the NBA and a championship could be won with the right role players around them.

Finally, I made an image resembling the following when they were in New Jersey.  I received great feedback so I updated it for Brooklyn.  Here it is.. But, the quality isn't as great as I would have liked.  I pushed my computer to the limits, I guess.  Still, it came out great..

No Sleep Til Deron

There is currently a fan-ran campaign to help convince Deron Williams that he must re-sign with the Brooklyn Nets and lead our team into the Barclays Center to create history.  I'm all for the campaign and will do anything I can do (graphically) to help.  

My "Brooklyn Fans" design is already featured on the site and I hope to see some more put to good use in no time.  Check out the site at nosleeptilderon.com and two quick designs I just made for the effort.

I like the first one more than the second, but I'm certainly pleased with each!

Brooklyn Nets Jersey

A quick mock-up based off of the original graphic made for www.sportslogos.net.  I changed the font, added the secondary logo to the waist-band, and replaced the logo on the shorts with the primary logo as it will be on the official shorts.  Nothing major, and I can only take partial credit, but perhaps this will be as it appears in September.

Eyes on the BIG Prize

The NBA Store is currently selling their Playoff merchandise and, included, are the "Eyes on the BIG Prize" t-shirts featuring some of the best playoff teams (some now eliminated) and the NBA trophy.  Obviously, the Nets are not in the mix this year, but the best part about next year is that the NBA plays another season!

This time next year, we'll all hopefully be wearing this image on a black tee!

In addition to the Playoff tees, the NBA also offer t-shirts similar to the one above featuring a team logo and their star player.  Of course, the Nets are not featured.  Maybe it's because they came out before the logo reveal?  I have no idea, but I do know that we're now one of the top selling teams and should be included in all NBA marketing.

Anyway, here's what it might have looked like if we were included..

Mirza Teletovic

NetsDaily is reporting that Europe's top scorer, Mirza Teletovic, may be interested in joining the Brooklyn Nets.  The front office seems to be interested as well.  This could ultimately lead to a very nice pick up for the team in the future.  So, of course, we have to see what this guy would look like in black and white.

Obviously, the BK Nets jersey won't have as many stripes (if any at all), but it still looks good.  The color scheme has really grown on me.

As a bonus, with the NBA Draft Lottery now less than a week away, here's what we hope to see on ESPN when it's all said and done..

 UPDATE: As requested by a member of NetsDaily, here is a variation of the above photo featuring Irina Pavlova of Onexim Sports and Entertainment along with the addition of Michelle Beadle

Not too shabby..

Another update.. Somebody asked for a version with Nancy Neuman of the YES Network so I quickly put this together.  Each of these photos have gradually gotten faker looking, but it's pretty funny nonetheless..

Nets Fans

I fully intend developing this site into more than just a Nets graphics site but, right now, that's what I'm really in to and I have so many ideas that I'm just running with them.  

This past season, Nets fans came out in full force to support the players they felt were critical to the future success of the organization.  The image below was taken the night Dwight Howard came to New Jersey.  Of course, I changed things to look more like next year.

It's going to be pretty awesome when all those red seats are filled with black and white jerseys, shirts, hoodies, and hats.  Next year, expect to see attendance like never before. 

Barclays Center

The photo was a little blurry so this didn't come out as well as I wanted it to, but it gives a general idea of what we may see come next season.

I eliminated all graphics related to the New Jersey Nets and replaced them with Brooklyn Nets graphics.  I also added the logo at center court and the Barclays Center logo on each end of the baseline.  Because the Barclays Center is supposed to have a more intimate atmosphere, similar to that of NY and LA, I darkened the contrast so the stands and fans would be darker while the court remains lit.  Finally, if you notice, the fan in the lower left corner is wearing a black Deron Williams jersey.

Hope you like it!
