What happened to the NBA's Christmas Day uniforms?
The league is at peak uniform volume, but in the churn of endless branding and marketing we've lost the charm.

Once upon a time the NBA gave us special Christmas Day uniforms—now we get nothing, not even a lousy fruitcake. The excellent hoops journalist @wtevs.bsky.social asked me to write about this for her "Basketball Feelings" Substack, and I ran with it.

Thank you AI, you’ve done it again.
Al Overview Bob Gibson (pitcher) and Josh Gibson (power hitter) were two legendary, unrelated baseball players, both from Omaha, Nebraska; Josh, an iconic Negro Leagues star who died before integration, was Bob's older brother and mentor, who greatly influenced the Hall of Fame pitcher's path to becoming a St. Louis Cardinals icon known for his fiery dominance and incredible 1968 season.

On 8/2, fans made a Declaration of Independence urging the Phillies to resign Kyle Schwarber.

It was signed by fans/CBP employees. They threw it in the dugout, hoping he’d see it.

17 days & 6 rainstorms later, we realized it was still there. It gave him goosebumps: www.inquirer.com/phillies/kyl...

This is excellent logo analysis from @barryp.bsky.social @defector.com on the need to “assign deep lore to every decision, as if a sports logo is a Dan Brown puzzle to decode and not a thing that mostly just needs to look cool on merch.”

Buck O’Neil’s eight decades in baseball truly exemplified the lifetime achievement award that bears his name.

The Hall of Famer who impacted the National Pastime as a player, coach, scout and storyteller was born #OTD in 1911.

That Ortiz and Clase reportedly received the EXACT same dollar amount from fixers — in 2025! — as Shoeless Joe Jackson and Lefty Williams did in 1919 is … completely absurd. And another reason why player salaries have very little to do with why these gambling scandals happen.
Tweet from ESPN’s Jeff Passan at 12:37 pm on November 9, 2025: Prosecutors allege that Luis Ortiz was paid $5,000 for throwing an intentional ball June 15 and Emmanuel Clase given $5,000 for facilitating it. They did it again, according to the indictment, June 27. The payment for each on that pitch was $7,000 apiece.

This complicated world is besieged by big issues that require thoughtful questions, but today I wrote these words:
How come players still wear belts? Why do baseball uniforms contain vestigial buttons? “Shield-front” bibbed jerseys, floppy collars, straight up “cadet collars,” zippers, pullovers, and henleys have come and gone over the past century and a half, but buttons hang tough, baseball’s version of the human appendix, a seemingly useless thing that somehow escaped evolution.
