The Cleveland Cavaliers had something of a rough 2019-20 season. They finished 19-46 on the year, good for dead last in the Eastern Conference and Central Division. Beyond that, they also had to fire head coach John Beilein midway through the season after he got off to a 14-40 start and somehow managed to alienate the team’s young players and veterans alike.
The hope was that a calm offseason would set the franchise on a better track and pave the way for a more successful 2020-21 campaign. Sadly, even the offseason isn’t going according to plan.
On Sunday, images leaked out showing the team’s new City Edition jerseys.
Needless to say, people had some reactions.

This can’t be real. Hands down, this has to be the worst jersey in the history of sports, including beer-league softball. I feel like I need to start a https://t.co/3YClT1nVgM petition that Cavs play skins versus shirts rather than don these abominations. @TimCisAg @JLGoodberry

That jersey is basically a reflection of the team. Bland with little effort put into it.

It goes without saying that it hasn’t been confirmed yet that this is the real design, but if it is, it’s hard to see how everyone involved doesn’t go back to the drawing board after getting such a negative reaction.
