NBA new trend?

In the NBA jerseys are everywhere. Players have them for games, fans have them to show support, or the league has many different versions. The jersey is an important part of the game. It has a lasting impact. The commissioner Adam Sliver has just introduced a new jersey that allows to change the name and number. Is that a good idea to even consider. I'm going to say the pros and the cons of this jersey prospects.

The pro of the jersey can bring many good things for the fans and players. For the fans it is very simple you can rock any player on your team. If one player is doing well or Just did some thing amazing you could show his number and name in support of that moment. Its like a reaction to a big moment. So many fans could also save money so they don't have to get every jersey. It gives smaller players a chance to see there team fans with there name on the back. Also as fans if they do buy a regular Jersey it could be a real spacial one were people could keep in good condition. For the players the benefit could come from being able to be more creativity for special days in the season.

The cons bring new issue we never had to consider and a few that we have always thought coming. the first major issue is safety. I don't know what kind of technology but what could happen. Is this a con? Yes because it raises questions how safe it could be. Potential law suit could come from any small mistake. The second most important thing is the value of the of jerseys as an whole. Can they still hold there value or will they drop in the market. I know I did say in the pros that they hold more value but that's no guarantee that these would work in the long term. People buy jerseys so they can capture a moment of a players career in there home.With this those could destroy the people who have old or vintage jerseys in the long term.  Another major problem stems from players not sticking to one jersey number. This may lead players to devalue the important of the number in the NBA. 

Overall the NBA has a fine line to balance the importance of tradition with the innovation of tomorrow. Also the league needs to make sure the fans are not in danger with these new types of jerseys because of something small.
