We live in creative times, guys. If you don't know how to use Photoshop, you're so fucking behind, fam. But if you do, you can end up doing cool shit like this: transforming NBA teams and their jerseys into dope soccer kits. I mean If Yohji, our lord and savior, can put a fire-breathing dragon on a Real Madrid jersey, why not push the envelope a little bit further? Italian-Argentinian designer, Emilio Sansolini translated every NBA franchise's jerseys onto a skin-tight soccer kits and even altered the logos for the chest badges to include a soccer ball instead of a basketball. That's some attention to detail! He also picked sponsors to drop on the chest. Pardon my nitpick here, but it would be a little bit nicer if the sponsors had more connection to the city and teams. Like, why would GM sponsor the Timberwolves instead of the Pistons or Facebook sponsor the Magic instead of the Oakland-based Warriors? It actually looks like Sansolini matched up the color schemes rather than the geographical significance because why the fuck would Gatorade want to associate itself with such a terrible, worthless franchise as the New York Knickerbockers? J/K LOL. But for this hypothetical, made-up reality, that's just fine.
