Help The Mavs Design Our Next Uniform !

Posted on

The Mavs are going to re-do our uniforms for the 2015-16 season… if we get a unique and original design. What’s the best way to come up with creative ideas ? You ask for them. So we are going to crowd source the design and colors of our uniforms.

You know what an NBA uniform looks like. You know what the Mavs colors are for today and the past.  We want some new ideas that stay true to our logo and at least close to our current color schemes. Show us what you got !

How do you participate ? You post your ideas/pictures/graphics/videos/photos directly on this blog.  Yes we want every one to see them.  Steve Jobs said “everything is a remix” . Uniforms probably more so than even technology. So we want every post to inspire other ideas and posts.

Who will own your design ? The minute you post it, the Mavs will.  If you think its horrible that the Mavs own your design. Do not post. If you think its cool that the Mavs could possibly use your design and you will have eternal bragging rights , then post away. If we really like your design and you , I may even throw in some tickets.  If we don’t use your design, it will still be here on this site for now and ever more for you to glance longingly at.  If your design is close , if not identical to other designs and we pick one of the other designs, for whatever reason, then thats just the way it goes.

If we don’t choose any of the designs,including yours.then we don’t choose any of the designs. That is life in the big city. Move on.

This is your chance to get bragging rights and put your signature design on the Dallas Mavs and the NBA.

This opportunity will last till the last day in May.

Let’s see what you got

  2. Mark– How many NBA players, do you think would work for free? Have you found any referees that work for nothing? How about the popcorn vendor at the stadium? You may claim ‘capitalism’ here– but in actuality you are stealing labor. You’re a thief. Another symptom of the corporate conservative movement; dodging taxes, sitting on piles of profit, not hiring and only paying a CEO an outrageous, unearned salary–and ~screw the little guy~ –get as much out of them as possible, for as little as possible.

    It’s not ethical and it’s not moral what’s happening to the working class of this country. Who do you think will buy tickets to your games if this attack on the working class continues? Everywhere one looks, the screws are being turned, again and again on the working Jane and Joe. You’ve just shined a very large spot light on it. Hopefully, that old adage rings true in this case– “you get what you pay for!”

  10. MARK CUBAN, PLEASE READ: My name is Kitti Tubtimto, and I recently submitted a design idea for your design contest. My design was NOT included in the crowdspring gallery of submissions, thus, it is not being considered–WHY??? It was submitted IN TIME (BLOG MAVERICK POST DATED MAY 30, 1:26AM) I followed YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ON BLOG MAVERICK, which states that the submissions were to be submitted directly to Blog Maverick; nothing was ever mentioned about sending something to crowdspring on the blog! I worked really hard on my design, it was hand-drawn and cut from construction paper—- no photoshop. This isn’t fair Mr. Cuban, I followed YOUR instructions. If the design doesn’t win, that’s fine, however, at this point it’s not even being considered, and I have a problem with that. Thank you for your time. I can be reached at :kittit321@gmail.com

  12. For 49% stake in my company’s bragging rights and creative freedom; you will get to be part of a program called unlubenima. 49% is just enough to have a powerful say-so and strong voice yet still be considered powerless in the unlubenima program. For 49%, I would require written consent to bragging rights of any and all “braggable” assets including personal and professional displays of “bragging.” Un-lube-enima, as its pronounced, was first introduced in the late 13th century aboard sea vessels that had no access to lubricant. The unlubenima utilizes natural bodily secretions that occur on rough seas or arguments. The unlubenima ensures that all bodily functions have a purpose. Because of the high praise and popularity of enimas of all types, bragging right value is calculated using a proprietary formula based on 2.4 times the current BRVM(bragging right value median.)
    As more investors are introduced, the BRVM formula is increased in increments of .1( thousand). The time to invest is NOW! Don’t let this once in a lifetime opportunity pass you by.
    Sincerely Mr. Jones,
    Unlubenima owner/operator/and I’m also a client!

  14. Chumming the shark. Worse! The fools that follow the fool. Philanthropist or anti-philanthropist. Next contest: balance Mark Cuban’s expense report. The winner receives bragging rights. Good luck pro and street level accountants. Hope you already paid for your accounting degree because bragging rights are not an acceptable form of payment…yet

  16. FROM A POST ABOUT THE REDESIGNED DALLAS STARS IDENTITY:

    “Every NHL team except the originals (and ‘Canes) have had jersey and logo changes. From Vancouver to Calgary, Pittsburgh to Tampa, Dallas to San Jose. We have our identity in the metroplex, and it’s green. That’s how the Stars are identified here.

    Green = Stars, Texas Blue & Red = Rangers, Blue & Silver = Cowboys and whatever the Mavs are. They’re the ones that need an identity.”

  26. FOR ALL OF THESE PROFESSIONAL DESIGNERS LEAVING NASTY COMMENTS: Grow up! This is something for the fans! Furthermore, life is one big competition, and if you were all-that-and-a- bag-of-chips, then a couple of designs made by lowly amateurs, like myself, shouldn’t bother you. Mr. Cuban, you’re certainly a pioneer– in every sense of the word, I hope that you DO pick out a kick-ass fan submission, just to stick it to these people. 😀

    Simple, Dynamic Positioning, Modern Typeface, Mavericks Colors (green? sure, just not picture in these concepts)
    Looking at current jersey trends and previous Mavericks jerseys, I think that following a design similar to this one will be successful. Full out “retro” is cool on special occasions, but thinking towards the future with hints of the past is the way to go. Whatever is decided I hope it sets a new trend!

  48. First and foremost, The Concept Media Group is honored and privileged to have the opportunity to exhibit some of our unique and original concepts for consideration for the Dallas Mavericks Organization!

    I have read your blog and want you to know I am an entrepreneur who loves designing, and helping other companies/individuals develop winning concepts. Why? Because of my true passion for helping others’ dreams come true. So what better company to have the opportunity to partake in a project like this then with my favorite basketball team, the Mavericks. Since I have been blessed with a talent to design and the desire to help others, the Mavs organization making this move is a chance of a lifetime.

    We are a design company that guides businesses through the creative process making concept development easier. The concept of our jersey designs are a sum of creative ideas that are derived from the logo, colors, and design qualities we are already familiar with. We have created this page specifically for you to use as a Mavericks Shopping Center for the jersey you will hopefully fall in love with. At the same time you can see all the jerseys designed by us in one place by clicking on each item to see a larger version.

    Again thank you for this opportunity in allowing creative minds to help you in choosing a design you think will really characterize the players, the team, and the organization. We support the Mavs and this is just another way of showing the world how we do it. #MFFL

  63. Thank you Mr. Cuban for this opportunity, it has been a life long dream to design a uniform for an N.B.A. team, especially one with such a winning tradition, global recognition and history of excellence.

    My goal was to create simple, iconic uniforms that paid homage to the original Maverick’s aesthetic of the 80’s while integrating the western spirit of the TV show that inspired the franchise’s name.

    The link below features a new logo concept, Home, Away and 2 Alternative Uniforms.

  104. Thanks for offering this opportunity. I have created a design to be considered. This design is based on a recent trend from the college circuit of unique designs on the back of the jerseys, like teams such as Duke, Syracuse and North Carolina. The design i created on the back of the jersey is the Dallas skyline. Here is my uniform design submission:

  114. Howdy Mr. Cuban! Here is your new design for this upcoming 2015-16 season for the MAVS. I loved the idea of a fresh new look for the team so that’s exactly what I did. I’m posting two design samples. This jersey will set the players apart from the rest to revive and reset the team for another Championship!!!!!!

  124. Very simple, keep the same colors. On the shorts there should be a cowboy/western gun holster (complete with colt 45) design on the right, and the team logo on the left. The holster belt should circumvent the shorts complete with accentuated bullets. This keeps the team’s old west identitiy in check.
    On the jersey above the team logo there should be a sheriff badge on the right. This design will reap millions in apparel sales.

    Comment by Gabriel Mccaffrey -

  125. Couldn’t leave a message because I was trying to get those designs in before 5. I did this between calls at work, but check out the concept. Nothing says “Dallas IS a basketball city” more than this design with the simplified skyline and the basketball on Reunion Tower. I truly believe this because I love my other teams, but there hasn’t been anything more exciting in Dallas Sports than basketball since the beginning of the Nowitzki-Cuban Era. That Championship season playoff run will inspire me forever, no question.

  144. Hello,

    My mom, Ramona Haass, has diligently worked on this contest for the past week. Our family lives, eats, and breathes basketball, so she was super ecstatic to be able to possibly help y’all out. This jersey is definitely different than the rest, which will set the Mavericks apart from everyone else.

  149. So Marc gets to retain all rights to a design, profit immensely from merchandise sales, and the designer gets “bragging rights”? Wow what a deal. All you “designers” who take part in these stupid contests are only contributing to this perception that designers should work for free. If you think otherwise, then ask yourself why no other industry has people so often requesting work be done for free or for chump change. Just imagine if Marc Cuban allowed attendees to his basketball games to only pay if they like what they see.

  155. Mr. Cuban, I dont want your money or fame, or even tickets; all I want is for the chance to do something awesome for my favorite squad. As such, an opportunity to watch my favorite team play in a jersey I designed; an opportunity to give back to the owner, club, and players that have given me so much enjoyment for many years.

    Cheers,

  158. Hi Mr. Mark Cuban,
    I recognized you at a night club bathroom at the Palms Las Vegas about 10 years ago. I didn’t have anything clever to say but you acknowledged how starstuck I was and you said hi to me anyways haha. I’m in Tokyo, Japan and I still want to go to a Mavericks game with a friend. Can you look at your new 2014-15 Mavericks uniforms please? I just saw your ad and I designed for the past 3 hours. Thank you.

  162. Hey Mr. Cuban! I slightly modified the Mavs’ logo from my previous post yesterday. It gives this team a more western feel. Yet at the same time, it is modern and stays true to this team. My creation was directly inspired by the current Mavericks logo with the iconic shield in the background. I hope you like it as much as everyone else has.

    I am an apparel designer about to move to Savannah Georgia for my masters in fashion design. I have worked for the Dallas Cowboys, designing apparel, textiles, and graphics, and have been working for Sharon Young Inc. designing textiles through CAD (Computer aided design).

    For me this project was not about reinventing the wheel, it was about improving the rubber.

    I researched the history the uniform, the mavericks, and through that was inspired by the wild horse idea. My mind thought of the knight from chess. An intelligent piece with many moves to make. I interviewed many Mavericks fans that have followed the team religiously and asked the opinions and advice; market research of the fans that would be the most emotionally attached to the look of the team.

    In my final days in Dallas, I have thought about what makes the city so great. It is the people. They are the most humble, congenial, and hospitable people. I wanted to design a uniform that Dallas would be proud of. A team of inspired knights, heroes if you will, that propelled to research where the term “the dark horse” came from. It is appropriate:

    “A dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never observed in the list, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph.”
    –The Young Duke, 1831

    Please enjoy the design!

  179. Hi:
    You can tell I’m a real graphic designer because I’m submitting on the final day! LOL. Here is my rough draft and mock-up- emphasis on “rough”. It would be fun to play around with alternate unis with camouflage and retro style. Hope this is at least considered.

    Submission:
    https://plus.google.com/?utm_source=chrome_ntp_icon&utm_medium=chrome_app&utm_campaign=chrome

    Description:
    As instructed, I kept somewhat close to the current color scheme and remained true to the logo. Stayed with minimal styling, playing with juxtaposition of the logos and working in more green accents to the primary blue color. Predominantly substituted white for black.Used a triple stripe for the uniform sides with a gradient in the center stripe. Broke the stripes for logo placement on the shorts leg. Then submitted with a short prayer.

    PS:
    Mark, this contest is a marketing victory. Kudos, brother. Whether people love or hate it, they are talking and sharing. Heck, my Mother told me about it. When you can reach out to her demographic, you are definitely winning. You knocked this one out of the park.

  184. Hello,
    My mom, Ramona Haass, has diligently worked on this contest for the past week. Our family lives, eats, and breathes basketball, so she was super ecstatic to be able to possibly help y’all out. This jersey is definitely different than the rest, which will set the Mavericks apart from everyone else.

  198. Here is my official submission to this contest. My name is Rolando Guerrero and I am a professional graphic designer. Not only have I submitted a jersey redesign but I’ve also created a new marketing campaign…a new basketball court, website, ticket stub and slogan. Giving what you asked and much more! I’m a die hard MAVS fan and had a blast working on this project. Wish me luck!

I’m posting two design samples. This jersey will set the players apart from the rest to revive and reset the team for another Championship!!!!!!

  224. That mavericksblogs.com actually looks like a one-year Tyson Chandler deal where you test it for x, get a lot of money out of it because it produces results because it works with your primary franchise website blogmaverick.com. Similar to how Mr. Dirk Nowitzki needs a Defensive Center. It would be a great way to put anything that is in your mind strictly Maverick related. Thus building your persons “Dallas Mavericks” brand through a single website because its mavericksblogs.com. This isn’t Robert Traylor Mr. Mark Cuban haha.

    Comment by Milo Krimstein -

  254. Explanation of the “Skyline design”

    I knew people would remark that it was a Denver/Seattle rip but honestly I believe those are some of the best jersey designs in history. I also believe that we have more right as a city to have the skyline on a jersey than those other guys.

    Here’s why: The Mavs and the ACC are the main reason that downtown/uptown areas have been revitalized in the last decade. The Dirty/Filthy/Nashty/Cuban era got people excited about going to downtown again. Suddenly it was cool to catch a Mavs game and hit the bars afterward. Heck, you might have even seen Dirk and Nash playing pool. What better way to honor the turnaround of the Mavericks and the downtown area by cementing that legacy and story in a jersey design. It also provides emotional and visual context to the experience of going to a MAVS game with one of the city’s most recognizable features. It incorporates the branding of the current mavs (cost effective) and gives me a killer jersey to rock in my video game that reps my city.

    I just wanted to explain why I went the way I did with the design.

    MFFL baby!

  262. Hey Mark! I’ve been working on this design for a while now. I stuck to the current color scheme, however I slightly changed the logo. I made the “shield” logo more modern and simple, which ended up looking awesome. I hope you like it.

    Simple. Modern. Fashionable.

    Comment by Moe Abuosbie (@moeabuosbie) -

  263. My uniform concept submission combines elements from the original identity with elements from the current identity to create a modern feel with a retro touch. A simple uniform design continues the current NBA trend, and adding texture (similar to the Seattle Seahawks jersey numbers) adds a modern look and feel. Re-introducing the retro green color brings nostalgia for the great 80’s teams, while the current fonts, and navy, mavs blue, and grey colors stay true to the current logo and pay tribute to the 2011 championship team. Updating the current logo with subtle additions of texture and retro green color connects the retro feel with a fresh look while maintaining the original design.

    http://postimg.org/gallery/9614cbfe/

    Primary logo (horsehead/ball and Mavericks shield)
    change basketball color to retro green
    add texture to grey shield
    change black elements to navy

    Secondary logo (M w/basketball inside black shield)
    change white shield stripe to retro green
    add texture to grey basketball
    change black elements to navy

  287. Mr. Cuban, it’s hard to give you background in four drawings but any of this can be enhanced at your discretion.
    These may be easier to see.

    http://s1278.photobucket.com/user/Lyle_Failes/library/

    I posted it once but it didn’t come out the way I did it.

    I understand you don’t want a logo redesign but a branding aligned uniform design.

    As for all the haters — this is genius for developing fan “buy in”. I get it. I have years of experience in Marketing/Communications and work better in a team environment. So if you need some tweaking, I’m available.
    Thanks,
    Lyle

  295. Dear Mr. Cuban,
    Since you are quick to fire back on the offensive, my stance on this contest is neutral. To each is own in this great, free country. I just wanted to inform you about my college and its discussion board between students and staff. The overall opinions between about 90% are overwhelmingly feeling like this is very unfair to the design industry and even damaging. As I stated, I am neutral, so please don’t blast me with your righteous reasons. I just wanted you to know the overall consensus on my college campus and I’m guessing many others. Thanks for your time. It is an option to give a reward to the winner in the end and shut the mouth of critics but, your the one that would make that call. Thanks again.
    Nicholas Jones,

For whatever reason I loved working on all the designs everyday, I couldn’t stop thinking about what you guys really want or what will be best for the team. I made many designs, some good, some bad.

  333. Keeping the modern logo intact I gave it a refresh by removing the black, adding more silver and adding the historical mav green

  335. I think it’s finally time for the Dallas Mavericks to incorporate the Dallas skyline in their jersey since it is so famous and recognizable by so many people! This is a rough draft for the home jersey. I hope someone views this design and some of its elements in the winning design! http://twitter.com/AllanAguilar26/status/339214938419625984/photo/1

  340. The goal in my design was to give the Mavericks a classic Western look, inspired by their previous uniforms.
    The Colors: The navy from the championship era, the green from the original uniforms, and a sand color to give the uniforms a Western feel and a unique color combination
    The logos: An iconic shield, with the state of Texas and a DM monogram is the primary and shows the Mavericks status as the premier team of Texas. The alternate logos are the DM monogram, the state of Texas with the DM over Dallas, a shield with the DM and an updated version of the classic logo
    The Wormarks: A tweaked version of Saddlebag, to give the Mavericks a truly Western look
    The Uniform: The Mavericks 3 different color stripes on their original home uniforms was modernized in this look, wth the stripes becoming side panels. An asymmetrical look because Mavericks don’t conform with the accepted tradition. The star above the player name and the the asymmetrical number are a nod to the championship uniforms. The asymmetrical number also adds balance to the uniform. The alternate uniform follows the original uniforms more closely, but with a fresh new spin thanks to the Mavs wordmark. Changing the wormark to Los Mavs for Noche Latina to appeal to fans with Spanish origins.

  347. I just posted a picture of my “art designs” of the uniforms. I know it’s not good enough for the contest but, I just wanted to create something as well as spread the word. This is what I posted on my site http://beyondexpressionsmagazine.net/be_jeanrivera (Please check it out)
    ” The Mavs are going to re-do their uniforms for the 2015-16 season! If you design something unique and original, you can post your ideas, pictures, etc. on their blog! Click HERE to go to their blog for more details. Must post by the end of May 2013″ I hope that’s okay with you.

  351. Design is a process and if anyone wants to see it from start to some finished designs – look at my site from bottom to top. It takes many design mockups to understand what you really want. This process is a bit different, because I have no feedback from the client, but I like how some of the final designs are coming out. In a normal process I would choose 3 final designs and then let the client decide, then continue work on the final one, in this case you can see my thought process. Thank you for the opportunity.

    Comment by Ameera Henry -

  371. My husband and I regularly enjoy Shark Tank, and Mr. Cuban has consistently been our favorite “shark” on the show. My first reaction to Mark’s post was “WHAT AN ASS!” At the same time I’m not offended by this “idea”. Why should I be? If I don’t like Marks’ offer then I don’t participate. Simple as that.

    I am annoyed by people’s constant assertions that you MUST be a professional with standard professional training to create anything good. I understand why designer’s are frustrated by Mark’s “offer”, but at the same time I see a lot of them coming off as incredibly arrogant ,which, in the end, doesn’t really help their cause. I believe that talent can be found anywhere. I’m a designer, and I attended design school, but I also know that I’ve learned far more outside of school than I ever did in it. If you’re a true creative you will find ways to improve yourself and hone your craft regardless of your situation.

    That being said here are some points that I think people participating should take into consideration:

    1. It’s not true that posting an idea automatically makes Maverick’s the copywright owner. A contract in writing must be signed by the creator. If you decide not to sign a contract, even if your design is chosen, the Maverick’s, by law, cannot use it. But I’m sure they’re aware of that.

    2. Any bragging rights are empty without confirmation from the Mavericks. What will Mark do to ensure you get exposure as the designer?

    3. A professional or skilled designer understands that the initial concept is just one part of the design process. Will the chosen designer be expected to execute all parts of the process by creating the style guide and making the design ready for print, etc.? Or will an outside party be brought in to execute everything? If so, will the chosen designer be allowed to be part of the process to ensure that their vision is not lost?

    These are just a few questions that come to mind. Now that the ball is rolling, and there is interest it would be nice to see a follow-up post from Mr. Cuban giving some more detail as to what people can expect if their design is chosen.

  372. Hello Mr. Mark Cuban,

    I am Dani Josef Cortez and here are my 3 design proposals for next Dallas Mavericks uniform. I used the colors white, green, blue & light blue color based on previously used by this team. Mix inspired by retro & modern style I’ve done to give a good definition for the Dallas Mavericks.

    Here are the links for my Dallas Mavericks uniform proposals.

    For the color white uniform:

  388. Design Tips:

    1. Learn Photoshop or illustrator.

    2. Look at other designs, you learn design by looking at good design, not making things up your first time around.

    3. Some designs can look great, but as a designer finding a jersey image online and pasting the mavericks logo on it… is not good design and anyone can do that. Not to say it doesn’t look good. 🙂

  392. @Jordan Cain – I think some are flashy and maybe abit much, but I think that Mr. Cuban is the type of guy that doesnt want the same old type of NBA jersey, which are really plain and boring, I think its a matter of getting the design to be between basic and something original. I design from basic to extreme, everyone needs to see both sides in order to make the right choice. I know one thing everyone on here is designing plain and basic, I will upload some really basic designs and see how it looks, thanks – selltip.com – RMena

    Comment by Jordan Cain -

  397. For all of you posting your designs, you should know that Mr. Cuban’s statement, “Who will own your design? The minute you post it, the Mavs will” is, by law, untrue. You are all still the natural copyright owner of the design you create and submit until you put it in writing stating otherwise, and for your own protection, you should all be aware of Mr. Cuban’s seriously inaccurate claim.

    US Copyright law states “Any or all of the copyright owner’s exclusive rights or any subdivision of those rights may be transferred, but the transfer of exclusive rights is NOT VALID UNLESS THAT TRANSFER IS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE OWNER OF THE RIGHTS CONVEYED or such owner’s duly authorized agent.”

    Know your rights before doing business with him: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ01.pdf

  404. I have never seen so many winey individuals in one location
    namely, on the Mark Cuban Weblog. Can’t you people read?
    It’s not Rocket-Science, It’s written in black font on a white background
    Let me quote “blog maverick” for you Brainy-Yaks

    “If you think its horrible that the Mavs own your design. Do not post. If you think its cool that the Mavs could possibly use your design and you will have eternal bragging rights, then post away”.

    Simply Put…

    1. If you think its horrible – DO NOT POST
    2. If you think its cool – Then Post Away

    Its not about money “Design Heads” its about passion and showcasing your talent; each and everyone of you have an opportunity to showcase your talent to a Billionaire and a World Class Organization

    I have a Degree in Film and I know one thing you showcase your talent with every opportunity that arises, Pro-Bono or Paid.

    There’s another thing I know… That none of you know what Mr. Cuban may or may not do.

    Who cares about a “Flying Piece of Yak Dung” if he pays you, I am certain that having the “Eternal Bragging Rights” of Designing the “Dallas Mavericks New Logo Uniform” will carry more weight on your resume than the $20,000 dollar a year dead end graphics job your are currently work at.

    So quit Yakking and Design something or cease wasting space on “blog maverick”

  407. So, let me get this straight, a billionaire is asking the fans/designers to submit a redesign for the Mavs’ unis, which he would make God knows how much on jersey sales, and you will be rewarded with tickets? Are you f’n kidding me? Do you think he paid the previous designers in tickets? Just more blatant lack of respect for artists’ time, and talents. What an a-hole……

  426. Hi Mark,

    Here’s the thing. The whole crowd-sourcing issue has been beaten to death here and some good arguments made for and against the practice. It is very obvious that you have no problem with the basic principles involved and that you feel it is, at its core, representative of both competition and capitalism. I would suggest that this is not quite accurate — both competition and capitalism suggest reward and compensation or profit. And, you have said to people many times on your show The Shark Tank “…, if you don’t value your time, why should I?”

    So it would be very simple to remedy the part of this that sticks in the craw of clearly a large percentage of fans and potential fans by simply modifying the reward aspect.

    I doubt that anyone, regardless of their level of talent, will come up with the silver bullet solution to your needs. You will want to tweak even the best design. So if I were you, I would offer to the “winner” the opportunity to work with your organization in developing their design concept into a real, finished, professional design. A design that is production feasible and has the polish and effectiveness you will need to represent the Mavs and continue to succeed. Let them work with your in-house marketing and design team, for real compensation at the going rate as a professional designer, to see their work brought to market. That kind of experience would be invaluable to young, hungry designers and a real treat to those of us who are more established. Most professional designers are team players by nature, we love to collaborate to make our ideas stronger. Even the best, most successful designers who we regard as “icons” achieved greatness because they put together the best team possible. You have an opportunity to teach a great lesson in teamwork here.

    So, obviously you can run this anyway you want, after all you are a maverick. But one of the best reasons to initiate an action like this is for the publicity and to grow the fan base. The folks who are professionally naivé, amateur status, or simply not of the design community will get excited and enter regardless – and with a very minor adjustment to your plan, you will also bring in most of the design community as participants. And even if they don’t win, seeing someone win – and be rewarded with a little more than a pat-on-the-back — will satisfy most of the naysayers and tone down the negative buzz.

    And you’re right, competition and capitalism are great things to behold – and professional designers are embrace both on a daily basis for their entire career. We designers give away our work routinely all the time – most of us can never say no to lending support to a good cause that we believe in, so pro-bono becomes a part-time job.

    We love to play, but when we play, we also love to win.

    You can have a win-win here.

    Thanks, Jim

  436. Needs a bit of tweaking, but you get the general idea:

    http://i.imgur.com/WErGc5g.png

    – Brings green back into the color scheme
    – Side striping designed to resemble a horse’s stirrups
    – Lone Star of Texas forms the notch in the shorts
    – Western typeface and styling evoke a more distinctively Texan identity

    It’s a bit of a departure from all the hyper-futuristic concepts posted here so far, but I think a team called the Dallas Mavericks would be much better suited to this sort of “vintage”/”Old West” aesthetic anyway. For consistency’s sake, using this theme would require rebranding on a larger scale than just the uniforms; you’d have to also reboot the logo, court design, etc. But then again, it’d probably be a good idea to do that anyway, regardless of which concept wins.

  442. With this take we’re paying homage to the past while giving the jersey & branding a fresh new look. Heavy on the Texas… Let’s go Mark, you could sell boat loads of jerseys and apparel with this one. I think this look would appeal to Mavs fans of the early days and the new age.

  444. One other idea for a logo (unrelated to the uniform concept above) that I’ve been toying with for a while now:

    http://i.imgur.com/XjATu3M.png

    The basic idea is a horse’s head that resembles the state of Texas when turned upside-down (the ambigram wordmark is just sort of an extra); for use as a secondary court logo or something.

    Obviously, this one is far from a finished concept — not only is it currently using a design recycled from another team’s defunct logo (Detroit’s), but the overall execution is still quite rough. So you’d have to have your in-house design team re-work it to make it more presentable. But this is more a “proof of concept” thing, just to give a general idea of what I’m shooting for. Again, I think you can more or less get the picture.

    (PS: The ambigram wordmark was generated by someone else’s automated program; I do not own it.)

  480. I have a concept. I considered asking/would even consider paying a designer to brush it up so I can have a real custom entry. I dont know much about basketball so I think that’s where I would be lacking from industry knowledge. I would reposition the maverick horse from a front profile on the jersey. I would then give him flaring nostrils and a red color in his eyes. I would then put MFFL on the arm band so its a component but not detract from everything else. The little I know about the Mavs, the MFFL sounds very important to the team and I think enough so where it could be added onto the arm band as Mark has really developed the slogan.

    I was just shocked there was a whole movement against spec work which is why I wanted to post. Big fan of Mark Cuban here. He says maybe you would get tickets. If I was a professional designer or design firm, I would submit my logo under my name or company name and just ask to get a mention of my company for the design. Would he do it ? Maybe, maybe not. I think its a reasonable request to ask with a submission.

    Back to the anti spec. I get the concept but as long as there is someone willing to do it free, you can not do away with it. Sounds more like a government regulation to control a market. I think it is funny that they give the example of a chef working for free in the video from anti spec at the video someone referenced http://antispec.com. When you are looking at a banquet hall for an event, often times you can go to several places and they will let you do a sampling (for free). So this is a true example that contradicts the video as spec work can be common place in other industries. Looking for a product? Call 5 different companies and ask for a sample of a few of them. Spec work……. Its the opportunity cost of potential business.

    A smart professional designer would maybe come up with a good logo (mark and company can decide if its good) and I assure you that credit for coming up with the design would pay off significantly.

    I have paid for artwork from people calling themselves professionals. When the design work comes back, it sucks. I asked on my last logo a friend who is an engineer , he just roughed it up. Turned out awesome! He was not a professional designer but was better than the last 2 pros that i paid for work. Who is to say the work is good?

    I think it will be great to see Mark get something here.

    I can be contacted at jack@baczeks.com

    Spec work is the opportunity cost. If an industry doesn’t support it , tough luck. I have been prospecting for investment property. I wont get into the specifics but I invest a lot of time (free time) until a deal happens. Should I go on a ban ? No. I know myself that eventually something clicks and it happens. So its not free time, it was the investment I made until something happens.

    Stop calling your self freelancers and instead call yourself paidlancers and maybe then you will start getting paid! (joking for those that don’t catch it!)

  485. I think the new Dallas jerseys should have sleeves like The Warriors and several college hoops teams tried out this year. The biggest advantage would be in the uptick in sales, most guys I know own football and baseball jerseys, but not basketball jerseys, not because they don’t like basketball, but because they are uncomfortable wearing a shirt with no sleeves, and they find it stupid when people wear t-shirts underneath a basketball jersey. I think there would be a huge market for these.

  504. Mr. Cuban,

    I have read every comment on this blog… and I see a lot of anger in people and I am not sure why. I wish that every owner was as down to earth as you are. You don’t make as much money as you have in your life by being foolish… and if you want something that is truly meaningful to your fan base, then let your fans design it. I like that you haven’t said that you will or won’t reward the winning entry. It seems to me that it illustrates your passion. The same passion you seem to show in everything you do. If the design moves you so much that you want to act, you will. That’s awesome. I will admit, I want to make an entry. I just don’t know that I would give it enough heart to make it worthwhile. The Mavs are not my team, the NBA chose not to be in my town any more… but the Mavs are your team and I know this is going to be rewarding for you on a personal as well as professional level.

    If you don’t like the idea, I don’t understand why you don’t just go on with your lives and let the people who do love it, the fans, participate.

    Good for you, I wish I was a season ticket holder of your team, I would feel very welcome and very involved.

  597. Every one of you that’s talking garbage about this is ridiculous. I’ve watched the Mav’s since I was a kid. Guys like Rolando Blackman, Jim Jackson, Jamaal Mashburn and Popeye Jones were always a blast to watch on primetime. Having an opportunity, as a freelance designer none-the-less, to have an impact on the team is crazy cool!

    Would it be cool to get paid? Yes. Necessary? No. Do I know what I’m walking in to when I submit these designs? Absolutely.

    My designs are a bit outside of the box, but I hope you enjoy them, MC – I look forward to being a part of the Mavericks family, ipso facto!

    Comment by Sam Theis -

  612. I was thinking if you want a new jersey, you probably want something that is a little different, fresh, and something that makes sense (both from a design and team history perspective). So here are my designs. Nothing too crazy, staying true to the teams colors, and adding a little bit of Western/Maverick flavor with the font style and sharp curves/edges.

    I added another cool design to my blog. I will create a couple new ones everyday til this contest is over, it be great to get feedback from Mr. Cuban!!

    I try to design from basic to extreme.. You need to see both sides.

    Comment by robert (@robertmena123) -

  715. Apparently if your design is any good it will have a bunch of thumbs down votes from all of the pissed off artists and designers who wouldn’t have gotten the job anyways. So if you have a bunch of thumbs down votes feel good about what you’ve done. This is a great contest which really gives fans the opportunity to participate and be a part of something cool. If Cuban went out and hired a designer he might only have a couple of ideas to choose from, if he doesn’t like any of them then it’s a huge waste of money. This contest provides thousands of ideas, all of which are unique and different.

    Mr. Cuban,

    Ross Kimbarovsky of Mindspring.com made a reasonable and professional offer that Artists and Designers can appreciate in relation to your call for submissions for possible new Mavericks Uniforms. It is “par for the course” for Artists and Designers to compete against each other when there are potential fiduciary rewards. While the potential fiduciary reward in this instance is not much by industry standards I find it symbolic of mutual respect. I respect you more now that you have agreed to Mr. Kimbarovsky’s proposal. Thank you for being open minded to the age old concept of generousity.

    Regards,

    Thomas Pettit

  726. Hi Mark! I’m writing a story for the New York Daily News (even though I write for US News & World Report, long story) about the value of online bachelor’s degrees. Do you have any thoughts you want to share? Also, do you happen to know of any famous people who pursued online ed? I can be reached at dhaynie@usnews.com. Thx!

    Comment by devonhaynie -

  727. I really think the big 4 sports teams in Dallas should get together and design a brand that is unique to Dallas. The Star is the symbol and brand of the Cowboys and is synonymous with Dallas. I have noticed the Rangers and even the Mavs incorporating it into their logo to a small extent. (obviously the hockey team does it too). I would think that there would be a way that the big 4 (Cowboys, Stars, Mavs and Rangers) could get together and Co-Brand apparel using a universal star logo (even if it is not the main logo) somehow. It would tie the teams and the DFW metroplex and I think you could sell more merchandise.

  742. Hey Mark,
    I added my website link for design mockups, in the process I was thinking a few things….

    1. Its time for this blog website to be updated, you have at the moment over 670 comments on one page that loads all of this on a single page. Not Normal or a good thing.

    2. How are are you going to view all of the submissions, some are twitter links, links to websites, etc etc… It looks like an unsorted list of everything and this is coming from a web designer, code looks cleaner than these comments. 🙂

    3. Let me know what you think of my designs I added them to my blog…

      What a great idea!

      crowdSPRING is one of the largest marketplaces in the world for crowdsourced graphic design, industrial design and writing services.

      We asked Mark Cuban if we can invite our entire community to participate and he said go for it! We thought a little money (total of $1,000 USD in awards) couldn’t hurt. So now, you have the chance to have millions see your designs on a professional NBA team AND earn some cash too.

      Here’s the brief: http://www.crowdspring.com/clothing/project/2352780_help-the-dallas-mavs-design-their-next-nba-uniform/details/

      If you’ve submitted entries in the comments to this blog post, consider including them on crowdSPRING so you’re eligible for the cash awards.

      Good luck to all! We’re looking forward to seeing some outstanding and creative designs.

      As Mark says…let’s see what you got!

  766. That’s pure exploitation Mark. How about asking a bunch of players to play for a season and promise to pay the one who makes the most points a fraction of what you’d normally pay each player?

    Why not just say it: You have no regard for the research and work that goes into producing an identity. Nor do you respect the need of other professionals to make a reasonable return for their work.

  784. Most of these negative ratings probably come from all these pissed off designers who are about to lose a contest to a nobody. I love how all these “professional designers” get on here and complain like he would have actually hired them if this was a paid gig. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A DESIGNER/GRAPHIC ARTIST DOESN’T MEAN YOUR ANY GOOD!!!

  793. I tried to come up with something new while still harkening to the Mavs current identity. I incorporated green, but a lime green instead of the normal kelly green. The shade of blue and silver are also darkened, and black is eliminated from the logo.

    I modified the wordmark to be less rounded, and arched it on the home and road jerseys. The number font is new. The logo now has a state of Texas behind it.

    The alternate jersey is a tribute to the current set, with the unarched wordmark and number offset to the right.

    “How horrible it will be for the person who builds his house dishonestly and his upper rooms through injustice. He makes his neighbors work for nothing and doesn’t pay them for their work.

    1 Corinthians 9:8-10
    New International Version (NIV)
    8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.

  859. Watch this video from a famous writer. Watch the WHOLE thing:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj5IV23g-fE

    What you’re not understanding is that these designers don’t think they are “special.” They just think they’re human beings and should be treated as such.

    Good design is a job of work. Hard work. If you can’t see that then you probably can’t even tell what good design is.

    To paraphrase the video, since I doubt you watched it:
    “Do you get a paycheck? Does your boss get a paycheck?….. Do you bitch about how much you’re paid, and want more? Designers should do a freebee for Mark Cuban? What is Cuban, out on the street with an eyepatch and a tin cup? Eff, no!”

    Here’s the thing…. Designers have bills to pay (food, rent, utilities, same as any other “human being.”) and what you, and many others, do, undermines their entire industry and their livlihoods.

  898. Hi my name is Erik E. Velez and I’m a graphic artist and internet entrepreneur. I have designed a uniform I would like to wear if i was a Maverick. The uniform plays true to my futurist style, a style i have been influenced very much by the great Futurist artist Syd Mead. This is a simple quick draft but, given the opportunity i would like to design something more detailed with the new photoshop cc! Hope i win!! Good luck to everyone else too!

    Comment by Matthew Hendrickson -

  904. Mr. Cuban, With great respect for all you have accomplished, please talk to Pat Williams at the Orlando Magic about public design contests. He ended up with literally thousands of useless submissions for the Magic from a nationwide USA Today contest that filled a large storage closet from top to bottom. As I am sure you know, a uniform design is only one facet of the brand experience. When Pat finally gave up he turned to me. I personally branded their entire system: logo, colors, pinstripe uniforms, Stuff the Magic Dragon, the parquet floor, The Dancer uniforms, the retail store, all the merchandizing, and the advertising campaign, etc. I wasn’t a designer, I was a brander.

    As to your quote, “I have seen a lot of nba uniforms designed by professionals. Have you ever seen a uniform that stood out so much that it may you understand the story of the team’s brand ? Or that even stood out enough to make you take notice that it was more than a uniform ? either have i.” please allow me to me address what you wrote with some compelling, contradictory evidence:

    Here is the story of the uniform portion of the brand: Pat Williams, owner Bill DuPont and I wanted the Orlando team to reflect on the most successful pro franchises in sports, bringing together Yankee Pinstripes, Dallas Cowboy Stars, Silver and Black from the Raiders, Bright Blue of Kentucky and Kansas, plus a unique logo and number font that were all new. Here was our story of our new brand: We want to emulate the success of America’s most beloved teams and be seen in the same light. So, yes indeed, people took notice that the uniform was more than just a design. When the Orlando branding system went public we led the league in merchandise sales two years before we had a team on the floor. Blue and Black became an instant fashion trend. Rap and Hip Hop stars constantly wore the stuff on national TV. The Atlanta Olympic team adopted the font for the numbers. Champion uniforms asked for my advice. Pinstripes became a trend for several teams in the league.

    Because Orlando was so far ahead of the other three new franchises, David Stern invited me to the NBA offices in New York to discuss branding with the owners of the new Miami, Minnesota and Charlotte teams. Branding is about so much more than a good uniform design, which is only one small element. Branding invokes the the spirit of your team. Branding inspires and motivates your fans to buy tickets and merchandise and to build TV ratings.

    So I congratulate you on seeking a new uniform for the team. I too perceive it is time for you to make such a change. As one of the more savvy business men in America, I think you see your uniform contest is a great way to reach out to your loyal fans, build interest during the off season, and get some press coverage.

    Pat Williams, Bill DuPont and I did find design tid-bits from the contest that helped us focus the brand. I know you will do the same. Good Luck! Brand that Maverick!

    – Doug

    PS. It is too bad that blogging has become so uncivil. I understand the professional designers’ angst, but they should understand the context of your efforts.

I hope there is some seriousness to this, because in this giant crap pile, there ARE actually a few cool ones. I’d select those, and give the authors a chance to present at round 2, and NO 3D Studio Max, that’s just silly unfair.

    Numbers on the front are fine; on the back double the length.
    Team Logo located on the left side “heart” 5 stars instead of 4 – 5 players on court.
    All Jerseys – Use same notes for all.
    Shorts “knee length” same color scheme and pattern as the jersey.

  921. Every one of you that’s talking garbage about this is ridiculous. I’m a huge Knicks fan (sorry Mark) and would love a chance to do something to be associated with my team! With that being said – I’ve watched the Mav’s since I was a kid. Guys like Rolando Blackman, Jim Jackson, Jamaal Mashburn and Popeye Jones were always a blast to watch on primetime. Having an opportunity, as a freelance designer none-the-less, to have an impact on the team is crazy cool!

    Would it be cool to get paid? Yes. Necessary? No. Do I know what I’m walking in to when I submit these designs? Absolutely.

    My designs are a bit outside of the box, but I hope you enjoy them, MC – I look forward to being a part of the Mavericks family, ipso facto!

    now a new idea for a new design. aside from the western themes that have accompanied dallas sports. i thought of the ”maverick” as a gambler type. so i came up with this design. also working on a new team logo. also, poker does fit in with the western themes, too.

  932. Here are my 3 jersey designs. I designed in Paint, so obviously it’s a very rough sketch, but i think they would be pretty sweet. Hope you guys like!

  934. What do you think of this one?
    I added red to the jerseys because the original color of Dallas and Texas are red blue and white.

  940. So my question is. WOULD OUR name get out there? Or would the design be picked, then taken to a “professional paid designer” for clean up and the ONLY bragging rights WE get are, “I INSPIRED the Mav’s new uniform design.” I mean, I wouldn’t mind submitting as long as I got like, a certificate of authenticity or something. Something PROVING that I really did design or “inspire” the design. Really what I’m saying is, whats stopping them from taking any one of our designs, tweaking it, and NEVER giving credit?
    Actually, I think the winner should get a signed notification/ letter/ certificate STATING the he/she won the contest and a signed photograph with owner, the design, and the letter. I think that would be PERFECT! =) Honestly I think that would solve a lot of “butt hurt” that seems to be going on here. Why not offer that for a prize? It’s just as cheap. LOL! Good luck all!

  941. We have put together your Maverick’s logo and instead of changing the logo we have just changed what it is made with. Using a multi media style with carbon fiber and various other materials to make the logos come to life. We have a few other ideas we will be posting but just thought putting a new twist could be all it needs to be fresh. And yes we actually made one up that is what we do…

    http://twitter.com/rmackman/status/334723794625257472

    Here is the thought behind my design:

    As Mr. Cuban quoted Steve Jobs, “Everything is a Remix.” Therefore, my uniform is designed to be a true remix that adheres to the heart of who the Dallas Mavericks are. When you look at classic teams in the NBA such as the Lakers, the Celtics, the Knicks, the Bulls…and yes, I’ll say it, even the Miami Heat, they all have one thing in common. They never strayed far from their true identity. They may have made minor modifications or modernizations over time, but they never made drastic overhauls, thus creating long-lasting brand recognition. You, your father, and your grandfather should all be able to easily identify with, and garner positive emotion from, your favorite team. Sports are rare in that fandom is often passed down from one generation to the next, whereas your favorite paper towel or soda brand is usually a personal preference. There’s typically a deeper connection with sports teams.

    From 1980-2001 the Dallas Mavericks used a Royal Blue and Kelly Green combination. It was clean, visually appealing, and it had the makings of a classic uniform despite the fact that the team performed poorly on the court. Since 2001, the Mavs have had a more modern, albeit darker, look coupled with success that culminated with two NBA Finals appearances and one NBA Championship. My goal was that these uniforms merge the nostalgia of Mavs fans who have been there from the beginning with the winning aura of today’s Maverick teams.

    These uniforms employ a slightly lighter blue and green than the original 1980s color palette, the font has been faintly modified from the early 1990s styling, but the cut of the jersey, the overall feel, and the small star above the player names is in line with today’s Dallas Mavericks.

    I brought back the old cowboy hat logo, stylized the numbers to be more readable than they currently are, and I used the current alternate logo to create a brand new alternate logo better reflecting the Maverick name. The alternate logo depicts a “Pair of Aces” to be worn on the waistband of the shorts. Instead of the letter A, each card has a D or an M for Dallas Mavericks. The star on the back of the jersey is now featured in place of what would be a spade, diamond, heart, or club. In the center of the front card, you will see your old horse alternate logo.

    These uniforms now feature the name Mavericks, a cowboy hat, cards, stars, and a horse. I hope that these five symbols together will represent the city of Dallas, Texas proudly in the way that they would want to be remembered.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,

  963. @mcuban Nice work on this… Obviously peoples interests are peeked… otherwise there wouldn’t be all these haters on here… To the designer haters… I am a pro photog… Does it bother me that “amateurs” take pictures… NO… My wife has taken some of the coolest photos I’ve ever seen and she’s a physical therapist..
    Get off your high horse! What makes a designer a pro anyways, a paycheck? Talent is in the eye of the beholder. What is wrong with looking at hundreds of different ideas from the people that matter the most.. The fans.. If I was a pro designer I would be all over this! It’s called branding for a reason!!! What Cuban is doing is tied in with that. Let the fans help with the branding and your brand reaches even farther.. I’m sure there are plenty of pro designers that are fans… Do you really need to get “paid” if your design is chosen?? Come on! You can put it in your portfolio you simpletons!! Is Cuban doing this to save a buck?? HAHAHAHAHAHAH Yeah right!
    Kudos to you Cuban; cool idea… I’m sure you will get some pretty original out of the box ideas on this!
    . BTW if you ever need a photographer I’m all in!! @KHPHOTOCHICAGO
    I will be working on this with my PRO designer friends over a couple beers this weekend… We’ll see what we come up with.. And I can assure you none of them will feel slighted that they didn’t get paid if their design gets chosen. I do stuff all the time pro-bono… It turns itself into other work. It’s how the creative world works..

    • Your arguments show that you do not understand what’s wrong with this. Contests like this devalue creative work. It doesn’t matter what your talent level is, you shouldn’t give away ideas for free. Especially to a company who is clearly going to bank on those ideas. How much does an officially licensed jersey go for these days? You can’t tell me the mavs won’t profit from this.

  965. This is disgusting.

    Of all that people can actually *PAY* for a quality uniform redesign it’s pretty sad to see Mark Cuban taking advantage of the artist/designer community like this.

    Make no mistake, the people who take these designs and actually make the template for the uniforms will get paid. The companies that make the uniforms will get paid. The only person who won’t be paid is the actual artist.

    Mark Cuban, I challenge you to step up and pay fair a market value to an actual skilled, working designer for these designs. Bonus points if you use someone local to the DFW metroplex.

  969. Dear Mark, as you have gathered from many of the comments here, this was not a good idea. While your heart may have been (and hopefully was) in the right place when the idea was born, it really just boils down to you and the Mavs getting something for nothing. It doesn’t matter if the artist submitting artwork is a ‘pro’ or not. You are asking them to use their time and talents to provide you with a plethora of design choices which you can then do whatever you want without any kind of compensation for that time. Sadly, I’m sure you will receive plenty of designs to choose from because many of these people don’t grasp the fact that their time and work has value. I would hope you could understand why people are upset by this ‘contest’ and not just dismiss them as whiny designers.
    To put it into perspective – if the plumbing goes out in your house, do you think you could post a contest for plumbers (pro or amateur) to come fix your problem free of charge, all for the chance to have bragging rights?

    From MC>Actually I like the idea even more now than when i launched the contest. I love the response from the pro photog who thinks its ok for amateurs to take pictures and doesn’t freak out if they get sold or published. I love the creativity. I even love the hate coming from some of the designers. It proves that it would have been impossible to pick just one or two designers and expect them to come up with the same quality and breadth of ideas that we have seen here.
    Competition is an amazing thing.

  973. Yes, this does resemble “life in the big city.” Specifically, getting scammed by a pretend-homeless guy on the street.

    This is the most pathetic definition of “crowdsourcing” there is. One side contributes everything, and the side that benefits contributes nothing. “Bragging rights?” Just kill me. If something is valuable to you, PAY FOR IT – especially if you OBVIOUSLY have the budget. Otherwise you are looking at short-term gains and long-term losses, guaranteed. Already, for example, you’ve lost the respect of hard-working professional artists, and rightly so. Please admit this idea sucks and walk away with some dignity.

  975. Nothing about this uniform contest is beneficial for a designer, yet it’s entirely beneficial for the multi-million dollar company too cheap to set aside some sort of design budget. Interesting. It’s becoming quite disheartening to see such an influx regarding this “We won’t pay you, but you’ll get great exposure!” concept. Art and design are legitimate professions. Companies need designers to bring their work to life. Otherwise, there would be no advertisements, commercials, logos, websites, etc. Companies NEED designers. It takes talent, creativity, drive, discipline, time, and effort to design. I’d much rather find an environment where my work and my position as a designer are respected as opposed to attempting to design something for someone with 1) no respect for what I do, and 2) no budget. I can only hope that other artists agree and stop buying into the promised “exposure” that they will, in the end, not receive. This work-for-free concept is slowly destroying the design industry. We need to stand up for our work and our worth. As artists, we need and deserve compensation, just like everyone else.

    Comment by thebostonbrief -

  981. Some of you fellow creatives are going to unleash on me… And that’s fine. But what’s important to take away here is not the so-called injustices being served by @mcuban, but the opportunity to participate at a higher level for a global client that you may have otherwise never had. I have some points I’d like to share:

    Point 1) Look, it’s true that Mark has the capacity and resources to do this “the right way” and pay some incredibly talented agency a sh*tload of money to produce something more or less mediocre in the eyes of the general public. But he’s not (yet). He’s asking you to dream up something special. How many of us have lied in bed at night thinking about how we could have designed a better uniform or logo for your favorite team? How many of us wished we could work for those agencies that get those opportunities? Well, this is your chance to be the Chief Creative Badass of your own agency and pitch to a multi-million dollar globally recognized organization. Only few of us EVER get that opportunity, so you better bring your A-game.

    Point 2) I know, I know… “But, Jon! Billionaire Mark Cuban has the money to pay!”. Yep, which is exactly why he’s not. Frankly, this is pure genius from a marketing and PR standpoint, which as anyone knows in the business-sphere is the way to profit. Mark may get exactly what he wants in terms of a new look or he may not. Either way, this free to low-cost stunt has everyone riled up about the Maverick’s, staying true to their namesake (you didn’t think that a “Maverick” was actually a horse, did you?), and he has nothing to lose. There’s a reason why this guy is worth 10 figures.

    Point 3) If, by chance, this initiative is successful, it will only live for so long. Do you actually think other ball clubs will follow suit? Possibly, but the novelty of a crowdsourced design will quickly fade (again). The general public will have grown tired of it and the elite NBA design agencies will happily resume their design duties. Again, this is why Mark is a brilliant businessman: He’s one of the first to seize an opportunity (for his unique vertical) before it becomes a fad. Better to be ahead of the wave than behind it.

    Point 4) Finally, as a creative, I just want to say that if you rely on profit to pursue your passion then you’re doing it backwards. I know we all have to pay the bills, but never let the almighty dollar cloud your creative judgment. Stay true to who you are and the dollars will follow. Money (and a lot of it) is out there and it’s yours, but only if you can provide value to the world. Work hard, hone your craft, and the money will be an afterthought.

    Ok, now let me have it you frickin’ whiny bastards. 😉

  982. Hmm a billionaire who solicits for free design work that offers nothing but “bragging rights” and maybe some tickets?
    Yes, I am sure a lot of people will do this and probably some professionals, but it spits all over the art industry and devalues what some people call their career.

    Do you ask for free programming as well, any coders out there willing to design and write code for a program…..maybe throw in some tickets.

    How about some free plumbing work….hey you get to tell the world you snaked out the Mav’s locker room toilet.

    Thanks man.

  983. Watta joke! That’s a slap to the face of every artist…Don’t bother wasting a drop of your artistic sweat to this bullcrap…If your church asks you to make something for them, do it for free…God gave you that talent.. If a BILLIONAIRE is making MORE money out of my art from merchandise and stuff, he should pay up…In the eyes of God, that is FAIR.. Hope y’all realize that..

  991. To all the Professional (by Education and Trade) Designers out there who are offended. Stop feeling threatened. If you don’t want to submit a design… don’t. If you do want to submit a design… then do so. If you value your work to where you’ll only do if you’re paid then great! If you value the process that Mr. Cuban has offered to show off your work the submit… it’s just that simple really.

    Comment by Jeff Northup (@Jeff_Northup) -

  992. Bragging rights? Throw in some tickets? I feel sad that people are encouraging this shit. How can one accept such a work without even getting paid?? And the guy who posted this offer, doesn’t even have the slightest respect for art. He clearly just wants to use your effort and in return you won’t even get anything. Seriously guys, this is something to think about. “If you’re good at something, never do it for free”.

    Comment by Scott Chapman -

  1007. Well, nostalgia is always a good choice. Since I have no ultimate jersey design software, I will just leave a few ideas. Since Adidas will have final say anyway, design options are up to them.
    1. Keep it simple. The original maverick name came from James Garner’s character. But a maverick is also an unbranded animal. So in reality, there should only be the uniform colors and nothing else. I prefer Navy Blue with Green/White/silver Trim and Silver with NavyBlue Trim.

    2. Since Branding is required in the NBA for a maverick, then simplicity must be met. Number on the back in Silver for the Blue Jersey and Blue on the Silver Jersey. Player Name under the number. Font should be Bold but not represent any type of Branding or Stencil. Since a Maverick cannot be branded. Adidas specific is ok. “Dallas Mavericks” should be in the collar trim and waistline.
    3. Front of jersey( and back) should represent Dallas. Should be something imbedded in the jersey fabric, no tacky painted on or sewn on graphic. Small Team Logo over the heart with uniform number underneath. Normal Adidas and Nba logos on shoulders.
    4. Shorts should Match the top. Nba Logo on front and uniform number on opposite side. Team Logo integrated at cuffs with coordinated colors.
    5. No fancy Basketballs or stars or graphics that integrate the shorts and top. Accent colors along the sides and edging/piping Old School white socks.

  1014. Please just go back to the Mavs original logo. In 2001, you went from one of the most classic looks in any sport to one of the worst. There’s a reason why you see people continuing to wear that logo on a regular basis.

    Comment by Blaine Banta -

  1015. After looking at a some of these submissions this is what we have learned Mark. Real designers with talent now loath you. People who think they can design jerseys really cant. the best posts are the ones making fun of this stupid idea. Why dont you just ask the fans to start playing the games too now that your team is as terrible as your uniform idea.

    To the people that submitted something – keep your job as the night shift manager at McDonald’s. YOU. HAVE. NO. CHANCE

    Comment by Eric Manske -

  1016. Markets are mainly driven by supply and demand. You can protect your craft and your industry by fighting the morality battle for only so long, but it’s not an efficient use of your time. The deck is stacked against you unless you’re a very good lobbyist or PR person. If you’re a designer, continue to crank out good work (for money and for passion) and people will come to you with projects.

  1024. Mark,

    You know yourself, it sometimes costs Millions of dollars to re-brand a company and give them new “packaging” (so to speak). So is your plan to take a good concept and give it to a design firm or ad agency and then pay them the money?

    By the way I love you on Shark Tank, I think your really smart when it comes to business. I think what the general public doesn’t understand is that someone is going to get paid here, but it won’t be them. I know it’s not all about Money….but according to you it is.

    I would love to be part of this but the mind is a terrible thing to give away for free.

    Thanks,

    Coop

    colors go white for home and your color for away. the two colors only so on the white you have blue logo and writing. I also like the writing down the side, again its unusual. happy hunting Mark and hay I always do route for the Mav’s when the Lakers are out. so the Mav’s have always been my second choice… lol… Go Mav’s.

    I don’t have rights to the middle one but the concept is the same… I think all the jerseys should have a spot on them for each team member to contribute… like how on Halo or any other awesome game, the team has special badges and every member can create their own MEME. I think by giving everyone creativity on the team (I don’t mean across the entire jersey) to create something that is specific and special to themselves, it would help promote an even stronger fan base. The fans will be able to relate more to the players if they’ve connected through a social badge. If I’m going to support a team, and I’m all about a specific player, I’d want to rock their custom logo that THEY made. It can be on the jersey even a few cubic inches wide like on the shoulder how video games do it. I’m not much for watching sports. Actually, I don’t care at all to watch any sport (unless they’re ninjas, then I’d make an exception)… I’m not much for spectating. Soooooooooo!!!!!!!! Enjoy! ha.

  1081. Eh i’ve been a professional graphic designer for five years and some of the logos/branding that i’ve seen come from large firms has been complete unoriginal crap at an extremely large expense. I’ll take on the challenge!

    Comment by Blake O'Brien -

  1082. This isn’t so much aimed at MC as it is for struggling creatives who are hoping that this contest will be the break they’re looking for…

    There’s a logical fallacy that non-creatives and even some creatives fall prey to and that is that creativity only requires talent to succeed. Who knows, maybe a struggling designer with a lot of talent will enter and win this contest. And they’ll give you is a jersey design that looks good. But a professional will have talent and a well-developed, proven creative process that guarantees that their designs will be successful. They’ll sell you a jersey design that increases brand loyalty, that gets the players and the audience fired up during games, and that, more importantly, increases ticket and merch sales. Now, as a professional designer, I can give you such a design that meets these needs using a creative process that I’ve worked hard to develop to guarantee success of all my designs. But if not for money than what? Bragging rights?

    You say that the design becomes yours as soon as I post it. The only way to pull that off is to legally enter it under Work-For-Hire. Work-For-Hire means that you own the design as if YOU created it. And that means I can’t put it in my portfolio. If I win, how am I supposed to brag about it if I can’t show it off in my book? How is this going to get my name out there? Are you going to put “Designed by…” on the back? Are you going to tell all your friends who need a designer about me? Are you going to hire me for future work? The best you’ll do is put my name on the website somewhere and that won’t lead to exposure or a bigger client pool because the truth is that people MIGHT see my name, they MIGHT recognize that I did nice work, but no one’s going to say “I should get in touch with him and hire him” because they just don’t care.

    So I personally won’t be entering this contest because there’s no way I’ll get the recognition I deserve if I win. Plus the other questionable business ethics of this practice. I just hope that other creatives understand what they’re giving up by getting into this kind of thing.

  1104. Mr. Cuban, I would love nothing more that being apart of your amazing franchise! I’m just a 19 year old college student trying to graduate. I live in CA so I only get to see the Mavsone or maybe twice a year when we play the dreaded Warriors. I play basketball on the regular, and patterned my game after Dirk. You probably won’t get to even see this post, but I just want to say thank you. For everything, I don’t think you realize how big of an impact your team and players have had on my life. From crying after every playoff elimination to losing my voice after celebrating the championship. Thanks to you and a Big thanks to Dirk! I’m not the greatest artist, so my horse kind of sucks, but here’s what I had for a Logo. Still working out the color schemes for my jerseys.

  1122. I understand designers’ desire to protect and even elevate their profession, but there are exceptions to every rule, and this particular instance is not designcentric, which I think qualifies it as such. Ultimately if any sort of rebranding is done, the amount of money the organization will put into the creative services will dwarf the fee for the design portion of the project anyway in the myriad required executions, so those who want to see checks written need only broaden their view. Besides, here is a chance for an individual to get props rather than have their work credited to a larger, faceless firm which is really the entity that is taking advantage.

    As for my entry, I took the lack of payment as just the creative license I needed to blow off all the restrictions and create something different enough that it might motivate existing fans to buy merch they won’t if whatever changes come about are minimal. For the look, I took a page out of the NHL third jersey program and went with more of an icon / crest approach and tried to make it a bit more “bandito” than an angry horse in order to appeal to non-fans as well.

    Thank you, Mr. Cuban, for the opportunity.

  1125. Most artists are not rich, but yet you want them to donate their original idea for nothing in return? Maybe Mavs tickets?! WOW, thanks…I’d rather catch a AAA baseball game. They money you will make from jersey sales will be astronomical, and surely the only reasosn you are making the change…going after D. Howard huh? Pathetic. You are what is wrong with America! The rich get richer by squeezing every dime out of those they step on along the way. I bet your mother is soooo proud of you. No one cares about the Mavs on the east coast…your best work was on Entourage…and making your fortune. Greed is a nasty thing MC, and you show just how bad it can be. I hope you go bankrupt and have to sell the team to Seattle! Good luck with the AWESOME crayon drawings F%&#stick.

    Comment by Matthew Davis -

  1126. Why are people so butthurt about crowd sourcing? Jesus, if you don’t agree with it you don’t have to leave essays on here telling Mark Cuban how wrong he is. You do realize how successful he is, right? I’m pretty sure he’s smarter than you are when it comes to this kind of stuff. Plus, giving the fans a chance to create a jersey? How awesome is that? Really awesome. I can’t design worth shit but I love the idea of the every day Mavs fan who might be a great designer being able to create the next Mavs jersey. I wouldn’t need any money, or anything like that. Most of you that are writing how wrong it is are missing the whole point: It gives the every day fan, who loves the Mavs so much a chance to design their next uniform. The satisfaction in just being given the opportunity to do that is amazing. And like he said..if you don’t like it, don’t submit. Just because he won’t pay the winner doesn’t mean he’s a douche or anything. It’s a CHOICE. A great one, I might add.

    Proud Mavs fan and proud believer in all things Mark Cuban. I look forward to seeing the designs!

  1140. Mr. Cuban,

    Here is a link to my re-design for the Mavericks uniform set as well as accompanying tweaks to the logo and word mark. Like many other submissions, I have done my best to combine the current aesthetic with the allusion to the past. The main changes are the addition of green, as was used in the past, and the addition of the “sand” color, which is used in lieu of white. I believe that this will give the Mavericks a strong and recognizable identity that separates them from the rest of the NBA teams that utilize white as the color for the home jersey (with the exception of the Lakers’ yellow).

    I appreciate the opportunity to design a uniform set for consideration. I would be honored to have my design selected and would consider a major career accomplishment. The link to the design can be found below.

    Thank you,

    Wes Peters

  1144. So apparently the notoriety and the recognition of being the person that designed the Mavericks new uniforms isn’t good enough for some people. They want money too. Pretty pathetic. For the record I’m not a designer nor do I plan on being one so I have no desire to even try to do this. I think it’s a really cool idea though and it gives fans something to participate in. That’s what makes Cuban, well…Cuban, and that’s why other teams wish they had him for an owner.

  1157. What a great idea!

    crowdSPRING is one of the largest marketplaces in the world for crowdsourced graphic design, industrial design and writing services.

    We asked Mark Cuban if we can invite our entire community to participate and he said go for it! We thought a little money (total of $1,000 USD in awards) couldn’t hurt. So now, you have the chance to have millions see your designs on a professional NBA team AND earn some cash too.

    Here’s the brief: http://www.crowdspring.com/clothing/project/2352780_help-the-dallas-mavs-design-their-next-nba-uniform/details/

    If you’ve submitted entries in the comments to this blog post, consider including them on crowdSPRING so you’re eligible for the cash awards.

    Good luck to all! We’re looking forward to seeing some outstanding and creative designs.

    As Mark says…let’s see what you got!

    Comment by Seed Madness (@seed_madness) -

  1159. Before I start I have to understand what are the rules? As someone who thinks way out of the box, I have to know what my limits are. Are there limits on colors? On images? Reflective components? I assume cost is not an issue. Does it need approval? How maverick are you willing to go?

    Comment by VoxelVerse (@VoxelVerse) -

  1160. Mr. Cuban, I have to be honest and say when I first heard of this, I was outraged for my artist husband. I thought, like many have stated on your blog, that you were being “cheap.” However, after thinking more about the person you are and what you give to Dallas and the Mavs fans, I can better understand your way of thinking. I read your post explaining your thoughts behind this idea and I applaud you for taking this stand. It’s easy to hire a firm, but you might not get the best design. I say that because my husband is one of those artists that was down-sized right before 9/11 and has been unable to get back into the design world. His only thought was, “heck yea, I would be proud for Dirk (his fav player) to wear my design. I’m in.” He just wants a chance for someone to see his art and say, “man, that guy’s got talent.” As his wife and best friend, I stand beside him and I promote everything he does. I love seeing the excitement he gets when he’s creating on the computer or painting something. I hope you like what he submits. His name is Randy Staples.

    I have an idea to engage the Mavs fans even more. After all the designs are submitted and your team picks a few of your favorites, put them up for the fans to vote on. That would complete the fan element of the project. Your team would still have the final say, but what could it hurt? I’ve found that the more people are involved in the decision-making process, the more apt they are to climb on board 100%.

    My family is excited about the whole concept. Our 11 year old son, who’s home sick today, helped his daddy while he was working on his design. He was so proud of what they had come up with together. He’ll be posting he design later today.

    Thank you for all that you do for our community and the business world!

  1161. I don’t get the controversy? Not all brands need professional design. You wouldn’t spend thousands of dollars to brand your aunt’s bake sale at the church would you? You’d just have some friends grab the glitter glue and whip up some kool stuff. You guys act like they’re the Lakers. I think the winner should be able to jump into a game for a quarter or something neat.

  1163. Katherine dodges logic and questions like she’s Neo from The Matrix. So Katherine – have you ever had your friends help you move? If so, how on Earth was that fair to those companies who have trained long and hard to know the best way to load trucks, to pack and store valuables to & navigate the best use of large moving trucks ect..You probably paid your friends in beer and pizza and how on Earth was that fair compensation for their time? What about the professional movers who put their staff through rigorous training programs and are highly skilled at their job?

    Or even better, do you feel that anyone who didn’t go to college and starts a successful business should essentially not have that business? Your assuming that because you went through school that your skill is superior and produces better results. Marketing (my back ground) for lack of a better term is a softer science. We aren’t doctors. Going to school is great, but if the world was full of jobs only held by those with the highest GPA without other factors, then the world would look a lot different. Obviously there are other factors in play.

  1164. Mr. Cuban,

    I love that you are expanding the search for your new design and allowing anyone to take part in the contest. This is a great idea and with the horrible uniforms that Adidas has rolled out for other teams I can see why you would want to see what else is out there. I am not a pro designer I am just a guy that does this for fun who has had great internet success with my designs going viral with millions of views. I feel that your contest was directed at people like myself but like so many other teams you reach out to people like me with ideas that you know will make you money but you don’t want to share. .001 of what you bring in on these products would make most normal people happy. It is your right to tell people you will not pay for their work so that you can profit off of it. It is your team and you have this option but why not offer a prize, a real prize to the person that is picked if they come from this board? Why is it that you feel that you are owed these creative ideas to then profit from them? Why did you feel the need to mock those who are interested in the subject of uniforms by not even putting up a real website and a final prize. I would suggest that you look at what the Brewers did this summer with their fan designed uniform. Yes, it would be a great honor, feather in ones cap to be able to say that the uniform on the court is their design but are you so greedy that you won’t share in the profits if a design is used? The average person would be thrilled with a thousand dollars, life changed with 10 thousand in some cases. It is this attitude that sports fans owe billionaire owners and millionaire players something that is so shocking to me. If you were to take your own pitch to the fans on your show the shark tank you would be laughed off of the stage. I would think someone like yourself would be able to get Adidas your league uniform provider to do some kind of internship or short term job flowing the uniform to product where the winner if chosen from this board could gain experience in the field so that they could further their talents. If nothing else I believe that the people have a right to know what exactly the prize will be for the winner. This if and maybe stuff is junior highish and entitled. I myself am working on ideas for a uniform but I don’t know if I will post them to this contest because well I expected more from you to be honest. I challenge you to put your connections and power to good use to come up with something of value for the winner. An internship, a 1/2 percent cut of sales, season tickets for life, a donation to charity in that person name, a matching payment to the winner of your first NBA fine to start the 2015-2016 season or something else of real value. I think this is the right thing to do and in the end I think this would increase the quality of the work you receive. You probably don’t care what I think but there it is. I wish you the best of luck in your search and on the court.

  1176. Actually, Katherine, I mentioned earlier that compensation can come in the form of experience and, in this case, a listing in your resume that you were the designer of the uniform and the work in your portfolio. You’re only considering monetary compensation, and as many of us have said, if you demand payment YOU DON’T HAVE TO ENTER.

    I’m not into sports. I read your blog cause I’m a big fan of you.

    But I thought, for your new jerseys, you might consider something called MERINO WOOL.

    In the heat, It’s very good for wicking away sweat and cooling the body (and preventing stink!). In the cold, it acts as great insulation.

    Good luck to you! Thank you for the inspiration.

    Comment by TuQuinceanera (@TuQuinceanera) -

  1201. @gw812 No one said Steve Jobs was a designer. He was a man who appreciated good design and invested in it to improve his business. That is why he HIRED designers and oversaw the development of his product, pushing for cleaner and more intuitive design. His name is on the product because he paid for the rights to the designs. Designers within a corporation don’t get or expect to get individual recognition because they are being compensated for that work and those rights (just like fashion designers within J.Crew or Target don’t have their individual names on the product.) Here you are not being compensated, so it makes no sense to give up the rights to your design.

    Comment by Katherine Olvera -

  1202. To all you guys whining about this being a “dick” move to not hire a design professional to do this, you need to quit being so salty. If you are a true pro and want to add to your portfolio, use your “skills” and create something good. If not, don’t participate. It’s really that simple. It seems to me that some of you are scared that some amateur might create something that gets chosen over your “professional” design and it might scar your ego. Well, guess what? It’s Cuban’s team/brand/project and if he can get it for free, why the hell should he pay for it? Especially if the free design is superior to one he would have to pay for? You guys are crybabies who fail to see the spirit of this thing and fail to see the positives. This could be a huge personal project that could end up netting you real $$$ if you saw how it could be valuable to be the guy responsible for designing the MAVS uniform. Some hungry designer will take advantage of this and end up landing a job somewhere because he wasn’t afraid to put his work out there and earn an opportunity.

    That said, I hope someone creates something great that includes the old-school Mavs green!

  1212. As for those quoting Jobs – HILARIOUS! You’re telling me that Xerox PARC EVER got a dime from him using their ideas of a GUI? You’re telling me that every patent issued to Apple had the name of the designer of the item ONLY? Go back and look at them! I’ll wait. You’ll see that his name was on EVERY SINGLE ONE, no matter who did the work. Stop taking bits of history out of context for your own gains – look at it ALL.

    He was a BUSINESSMAN and understood marketing! He was NOT a designer – he had Jony Ive for that. He LOVED the fact that those he marketed to could and would have a personal relationship with his product. Cuban’s doing the same thing here.

    One of his favorite quotes, from his biography, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”

    Comment by David St. Clair (@Djdavidstclair) -

  1215. A professional designer, as many have stated above, has a choice to enter or not. Cuban has the choice to accept what he sees here or not. I’m certain that he knows what he is getting in to – plenty of amateurs and that will most likely translate into amateur work. There’s nothing stopping him from choosing the design he likes best (but needs some tweaks) and handing it to a paid designer to complete for pay. In the end, if he wants a professional design bad enough he will either pay for it or settle for something else. Besides, you’re telling me that no graphic design student (or any student, for that matter) has ever worked at an internship that wasn’t paid? They did it for the experience and voluntarily gave up compensation because the experience was more valuable. This is no different. Supply and demand, and you do a cost-benefit analysis before you make the decision. THAT is what I teach my students. Not to blindly follow the opinions of a trade organization but to decide for themselves.

    Cuban’s concerned with playing to his market. This is a handy way for him to get a ton of buy-in with his market and for his market to get involved with his product. That translates to profit for him and that’s all he’s concerned with. No bones about that.

    I looked at that website, by the way, and all of the contest examples cited have one thing in common – THE DESIGNER KNOWINGLY ENTERED THEM!. I’ll bet that in every case the contest had terms and conditions posted that stated that the entry becomes sole property of the sponsor. They can legally do as they wish with it. If the terms don’t specify that the designer loses credit then they bring a copyright suit against the sponsor. Seems people are pissy because they didn’t read the rules and want a loophole. Feel free to boycott such things – it’s every designer’s right! Just beware that the market might end up willing to accept less-professional products if the price is right. China taught us that…

    Comment by gw812 (@gw812) -

  1216. From Mr. Cuban:

    “Honeslty, I don’t respect or disrespect professional designers. I don’t have an opinion either way.”

    Sounds like Mr. Cuban doesn’t have a lot of experience in this area. The reason to go with professionals is to not waste time. If one has the time to deal with amateurs, this is OK, I suppose. Design contests have a long history. Usually the winners are well-compensated.

    To say ” The thing about talent is that most people think only they have it” reveals a basic misunderstanding of professional design work. Skilled designers acquire their abilities through years of hard work and education. If you wish to open this up to the public, that’s your choice, but it can be done without insulting the design profession.

    Open tryouts for the Mavs might be fun. I wouldn’t expect it to go well, though, if the person running it said: “I have no respect or disrespect for professional ballplayers.”

    Comment by Leah Prehn -

  1219. @gw812 You should teach your students about intellectual property and how to protect their work. They will never be able to make a living if they don’t. The graphic design teachers at my school would never support this because it devalues design work. Also, AIGA has taken a clear stand against spec work and contests like this. You are speculating that if you win, after putting lots of time and resources into this, that you may get a portfolio piece while a corporate organization stands to make millions off that same design? I don’t think so. Then again, you may not win, so you’ve just lost time, time that no one paid for. http://www.antispec.com

    On another note, Mark Cuban doesn’t seem to have all that much faith in crowd sourcing. Otherwise, he would say that he definitely would choose from among the options presented from the crowd. And in regards to the statement: “Steve Jobs said ‘everything is a remix.'” Steve Jobs didn’t crowd source. He had a clear vision. He understood the value of good design and hired designers. It made his product a unique one in the marketplace, and it made Apple successful.

    Comment by Katherine Olvera -

  1220. Not sure why there are all the negative comments on here. If you don’t like the idea then don’t post anything…..it’s that simple. If it really didn’t interest you then you wouldn’t be here in the first place. If you think the Mavericks aren’t going to get a professional designer (who’s probably on staff) to tweak your design then your a bit naive. Anyone who knows anything about design knows that you cannot possibly take a jpg posted on a blog or anywhere else for that matter and use it as is. For one it isn’t the correct resolution and two, it isn’t in the right format. The girl who designed the Nike logo got paid $35 originally and then was compensated quite handily later on so karma does come back around. Anyone looking to get rich quick off this is probably going to be sorely disappointed. As for me, I’m happy to submit something and if Mark Cuban and the Mavericks Powers that be decide to use part of it or all of it then I have succeeded even if I never see a dime from it.

    Comment by Paul Lawrence (@TexWebGraphic) -

  1221. I understand that many designers might want the notoriety of designing a NBA uniform but please be aware that you are only encouraging these free solicitations for very costly work and contributing to the devaluing of design. No one would think to solicit free work like this from doctors or lawyers.

    Students, there are better ways to build a portfolio! If you want a job you HAVE TO be an advocate for what you do! The more people get for free, the more the public will expect it. How do you plan on earning a living that way?

    Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave to be included in this post. He built Apple on the foundation of good design and valued it enough to hire and pay trusted professionals.

    Comment by Stephanie Haiser -

  1224. Hey, guys, gripe all you want but there are good designers that might be trying to make a name for themselves here or those that need some portfolio material. Being able to say that you designed the uniform on a resume could be useful, maybe more valuable than a single paycheck. Hell of a lot of students would like this opportunity too.

    Mark, you might have just made a ton of Graphic Design teachers’ day right here. This is PERFECT for a final exam. My students will be entering.

    Howdy to whoever is reading this!

    A few years back, P Diddy had a great idea of keeping the designs simple so that the fan could focus on the player and not be distracted by their uniforms. I decided to build a design that extended this thought, but added a touch of modern style. The goal is to have a single brand with a single focus; on the player.

  1245. Katherine, not to knock your profession, but really? Doctors? That right there explains the massive gulf in the service you provide as a designer vs what doctors do. Being a doctor can’t be crowd sourced because of the nature of the work – clearly design can be.

    It only “cheapens” what you do if crowd sourcing works & if that happens perhaps your skill is not quite what you believed it to be.

    Do you have an issue with unpaid internships in any industry?

  1247. For all of you creative types out there I suggest going back to the origins of the word Maverick and start from there. The new look should reflect an old school cattle brand mixed with 21st century flare.

    What was the origins of the word Maverick?

    MAVERICKS AND MAVERICKING. Although there are several versions of how unbranded cattle came to be known as “mavericks,” nearly all of them involve Samuel A. Maverick, a native of South Carolina who moved to Texas in 1835.

    Between 1844 and 1847 Maverick moved his family to the vicinity of Decros Point on the Gulf Coast in Matagorda County. There, Maverick apparently reluctantly accepted a herd of 400 cattle instead of being repaid a $1,200 loan. When the family returned to San Antonio, he left the animals in the care of a black family. The cattle were neglected, and many of the calves were not branded. Residents soon were referring to any unbranded cow as “one of Maverick’s.”

    In 1854 Maverick was approached about his wandering cattle and sent two sons and some hired men to move what cattle they could find to his San Antonio ranch. In San Antonio the cattle were neglected again and allowed to roam unchecked over a wide area.

    In 1856 Maverick sold his cattle and brand to A. Toutant Beauregard, a brother of Confederate general Pierre G. T. Beauregard, on range delivery, which meant the purchasers had to hunt for the cattle on the open range. The men covered several counties looking for strays. Any unbranded cattle were claimed as “Maverick’s” and branded.

    By 1857 people around San Antonio were referring to unbranded cattle over one year in age as “mavericks.” Unbranded calves under that age and still suckling were considered to be the property of whoever owned the mother.

    After the Civil War there were numerous unbranded cattle, especially in Southwest Texas and on the coastal plains southeast of San Antonio, and the term became common.

    The Cowboy Strike of 1883 occurred in part as a response to the ranchers’ insistence that mavericks were company property and could not be taken by the cowboys as wages. More recently, the term maverick came to refer to any living creature, human or otherwise, that goes its own way rather than acting as part of a group or herd.

    Comment by Michael Macher (@Rootside) -

  1259. Designers are upset because their job is often “crowdsourced,” which means people no longer understand the value of good design. Good designs can create revenue for a company by clearly communicating a message or image to an audience. It’s not about being slick, artistic, or creative. It is about solving a problem well and in an innovative way. If your job was crowdsourced you would be: scared of the result or annoyed at the devaluing of your product. No one asks the masses to diagnose a medical problem, and then takes that result seriously. One goes to a trained professional and pays for their expertise. If they don’t like that expertise, they get a second opinion. Either way, all the people involved are compensated for their time and efforts. And, it is true that not every professional designer is a good designer. But not every professional doctor is a good doctor either. That is why you have the option of going elsewhere, of checking out past work, and asking around to make an informed decision about who you will hire. Designers, like doctors, receive training and learn a technical craft. They learn about typography, color theory, spatial relationships, visual problem solving, and the psychology of communicating visually. Generally, a professional designer, like a doctor, has learned through training to consistently come up with a good solution. Frankly, I don’t want an amateur doctor operating on me or a amateur lawyer representing me. Why? They may have one solid beginning of an idea, but it is not likely to be consistent, and I would be less assured of its efficacy because they lack experience.

    Crowdsourcing, on principle, is dubious as a business practice, especially when the business is a large corporation or billionaire that can afford to take on financial risk. I don’t expect to get your services for free just by asking for them: Will you give me free legal advice, food, financial advice, health care, childcare, etc? (You may be compensated in a way I see fit if I like what you give me and only in the amount that I think it may be worth.) I bear no risk in this hypothetical situation and you should not, as a good businessperson, agree to that. That isn’t shrewd. Designers should not be expected to give their services away either. Additionally, crowdsourcing is not a great solution. Crowds don’t necessarily produce a better result because you cannot guarantee that the best people will be in your crowd. Why don’t we just call it “design by mob”? Committees are notoriously bad at producing good designs, because there is no clear direction or message; instead, it is often a clumsy melding of divergent thought into one product.

    As a fledgling designer, I will not participate because “marketing” or “exposure” is not enough compensation for my time. I would be entering the market setting a very low standard ($0) for what people should be paying me, which would ultimately hurt me. (It is also not fair or respectful to those who would pay me now for my work.) I will not give away my time and services to someone who can afford to and should pay for them in a fair market. You shouldn’t either. Know that your work AND YOUR TIME, professional or otherwise, has value, and you should be compensated for it accordingly.

    Comment by Ian Hampton (@ianhamptonart) -

  1266. Please allow me to apologize in advance for sounding like a broken record in regards to what’s already been expressed by others in this matter.

    The practice of crowd sourcing and speculative work for effective creative solutions is often defended as a “gray area” in terms of fair business practices, but it almost always falls outside the lines of what could be deemed as ethical. Not only does it degrades the quality of work that companies like yours rely upon to market and sell their goods / services, but furthermore it almost always leads to an inferior work product that lacks performance in the marketplace.

    Take away all of the bragging rights, team affiliation and other intangible rewards, and all you’re asking your audience to do is work for free. Now, were this “crowd sourcing project” positioned in a more competitive way, a way in which some sort of reward or profit based incentive scenario were presented, it wouldn’t be as big of an issue. But as it stands now, the only hypothetical compensation referenced is an undisclosed amount of tickets on the house. Forgive me for saying so, but suggesting that anyone work for an organization of your size without any real compensation doesn’t make a whole lot of cents (< see what I just did there?).

    Being a successful business man yourself, I have to believe that you have some sort of grasp on the value of effective marketing and design. Branding at it's core is vital to the success of all businesses, large and small. I mean, unless the products or services they're selling are so revolutionary and innovative that they sells themselves, it takes a great deal of marketing and strategy to see a company / organization to fruition. It requires a tremendous amount of time, skill and effort to get it there. It usually doesn't happen overnight and is most often the result of countless hours of research, teamwork, testing and iteration. So for you to request these services without offering any worthy compensation is a bit insulting.

    Here's something I'd like to ask you: how much revenue does your team bring in annually on jersey sales? I'm not asking to be snarky, I genuinely would like to know. I would assume that a good portion of the jersey sales are allocated to the players who's names are featured on them, the brands that hold the licenses to manufacture the authentic gear (adidas?) and the retailers that sell your merchandise. But after that, how much profit would you say your team generates on jersey sales alone? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I'd be willing to bet that it's a pretty significant amount. And this is what I find the most disturbing about your proposal. You'll be selling someone else's creative product, without license, without compensation, in perpetuity, and you'll be making quite a bit of money off of it. So how is that fair.

    Now, I'm sure the argument of a player's name taking priority over the design of the jersey will come into play at some point. It's to be expected. But that doesn't exclude the fact that someone had to spend billable hours creating the template for that name to appear on. So why should the designer of said template not expect some sort of compensation? Not in the form of tickets, merchandise, autographed memorabilia or even face time with the team players; but real monetary compensation. Because in all fairness, they should for sure be compensated monetarily in some way, shape or form.

    My suggestion to you would be to find a professional who specializes in this sort of work for this project. And do Dallas a favor and keep it local. There are dozens of capable studios, agencies and even individuals right here that would jump at the chance to work on an assignment like this, including myself. But not for free. That just doesn't add up anyway you look at it.

    Sorry to write you a book here, but I see my industry marginalized day in and day out. And when instances like this arise, where very large companies / organizations seek to capitalize on the creative efforts of others with little to no compensation for their efforts, I cannot help but express my opinions. I sincerely hope you take what I've written here into consideration.

  1291. I think this is a cool idea. You don’t need to be a pro designer to create an iconic uniform/logo. Hell the Cowboys logo is just a star that was designed by an equipment manager and it became one of the most iconic team logos in all of sports.

    It also is a cool way for fans to have a shot at putting their mark on their team. I think this contest is more about being a fun idea for the fans than a slight against professional designers. Believe it or not designers are not the only people on the planet with artistic talent, and I’ve seen plenty of professionally designed team uni’s that look just awful.

For instance the horse can be Blue and the numbers can be white on a black jersey. Trimmings can have a dark blue tint to it too. Someone take this and run with it!

  1323. Unemployed bum. Not a designer. Rockets fan. We won back-back titles before changing our whole identity. Big mistake. Your jerseys only need subtle changes. The crazy striping/piping is outdated and needs to go. If the idea is to use it as an alternate or Sunday/holiday jersey, than that is awesome! Maybe taking the top 3 and allowing fans to vote on it would be pretty cool. Don’t have a concept myself, but plan on opening up the box of crayolas if i haven’t ate them all. For now, simply an idea for small changes to the current set: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Hailkingceezer/whatevs_zps6746ba7d.jpg

  1345. Love it! I am no designer, but love that Mark is giving everyone a chance at creativity. The professional designers that are upset by this are acting the same way that the old production people did when a 15 year old kid with a Macbook Pro and Final Cut ran circles around them.

    To say that others are not qualified because they are not professionals is insane. During an X prize for oil cleanup a tattoo artist from Vegas and a family from Alaska both created technology that cleaned up more then twice the oil of any machine currently on the market. Innovation is a good thing! Why is this any different?

    Additionally professional designers should know marketing. Instead of bashing this (it’s his company) why not show your stuff and embrace the marketing that you will get? A ton of people will see your designs, and if you win you can’t tell me you are not savy enough to turn that into more business. Remember Mark owns other companies too, he may want to use you in the future for other things….By snubbing your nose at this you are basically showing that you don’t understand the value of good marketing at all.

    Lastly the guy is a billionaire who has hustled to get there. I think everyone can sleep easy knowing that he is qualified to make a good decision on his own logo.

    I will be watching this one, fireworks for sure!

  1363. Pingback: Mark Cuban Wants You To Design The Dallas Mavericks New Uniform, Logo - FanSided - Sports News - An Independent Sports Network

  1364. This is a great idea and it would be amazing if a regular, random Mavs fan ended up winning; but imo as explained it feels incredibly cheap.

    Don’t get me wrong, I understand the legal need to explain that Mavs will own it and will have the rights to change it, modify it and blablabla legal mumbo jumbo to avoid lawsuits from sore losers.

    I also understand this is also for young artists getting started that can use some exposure and not for those already making thousands from selling their design.

    But I mean come on… “If I like you I may even throw some tickets” ? That’s beyond cheap. No one expects you pay big bucks to the winner, but you’re still saving thousands of dollars if the project ends up being succesful so why not take a couple of extra steps so the potential winner gets a fairer reward? You could guarantee some playoff tickets, a backstage pass to meet and greet players on the next Mavs Meet & greet event, maybe have the winning artist’s twitter handle on a small font with a “Thank You” hidden in the jersey or by the label, heck, how about a free Jersey (that he helped design!).
    And how about a couple of tickets for the top 5 or top 10 so it’s more than one guy getting rewarded?

    By the way, I’m atrocious at drawing and all things art & I won’t participate so this isn’t me expecting to get paid for my work.

    Can’t wait to see the results of this, and hopefully you’ll update us with a blog post from some of the best ones hidden underneath the sea of penis pictures that will eventually surface. But hopefully whoever wins (if anyone does) gets more out of it than “maybe a ticket… IF you like them”.

    P.D. I understand you not stating additional prizes doesn’t prevent you from going further once all is said & done, but it’s no secret motivation & feeling fairly rewarded brings the best out of everyone.

    GL all.

  1366. For all you people calling bullshit on Cuban for not “wanting to pay” for any ideas, he knows what he is doing. He knows there is nothing wrong with the Mavs uniforms and he certainly CAN and would pay a designer if he wanted. But thats not his motive here. Crowd sourcing is one of the best new ways to come up ideas. A crowd is smarter than any one person. If people want to be a part of this brainstorm, than they can… if not, then dont. Mark Cuban is the shit! If I could draw I would definitely cook something up for the Mavs. (GO BULLS THO [: )

    Comment by Lee YBDW (@yaboydigwonder) -

  1369. I am shocked at the state of mind some people have. It’s almost a symptom of this country right now where people hate competing & expect some omnipotent being to protect and shelter them. When it comes to some things, especially artistic, the rules don’t always apply the same. It’s why someone can value a piece of art not so much for the technical brilliance, but the beauty instead.

    There is no logical excuse anyone can make that has an ounce of understanding of Economics or Capitalism with regards to this type of project. Just like getting a Master’s degree might help you in searching for a job, it does not guarantee you the job over someone who never went to college. If you work is so much better than someone else’s, you will be compensated for it (assuming politics and other things don’t come into play – which often times they do). If this design fails, Cuban will be the one who suffers just like any other business man making a terrible decision. Some of you are also assuming that Cubes won’t do anything for the winner when that is not what he said at all. He very well might do something, he’s just not obligated to.

    It would be like saying someone should not take an internship because they aren’t compensated or they are not pro’s. It’s silly. Or I guess people shouldn’t audition for American Idol since they aren’t pros and are being taken advantage of as the networks rake in money.

    I’m not even a big fan of Cuban (no offense), but some of this stuff is crazy and would not hold any weight if you really were confronted by anyone who was not just in your inner circle. It’s this mindset that holds people back, businesses back and truly impedes progress.

  1370. This contest is all about upside… for a young designer what better way to get noticed than to be the person that designed new uniforms for a pro sports team. Something tells me that just b/c this design was done for free, that person will make a lot of money off of it in the future from just the publicity.

    For MC, it is upside b/c it doesn’t really cost him anything and it gets him some outside the box ideas… if it doesn’t work, no biggie.

    Comment by Casey Warren (@casey04xo) -

  1382. Uniforms should not be uniform.
    Tall players graphics (im not even talking about the team logo) should be made for them to look shorter, thus fooling the opponent. Shorter players should be made to look taller. Skewed lines, vertical, horizontal lines should be employed. Polka dots of various mystical diameters and shades should be used.
    Some digital enhancements can be made. As the game plays on, phosphorescent colors in the logos and the graphics and lines should shine brighter, creating the illusion of power progression in the physiology of the players, i.e. im not getting tired, im getting stronger…yet there should be a subtlety and harmony in the finished product. Not too loud, but implicitly powerful.

    What you are asking for is nothing short of biological/phenotype visual war tools. Its actually really fascinating to think about the possibilities.

    Also, and most importantly, the players should have some stake in the design, or some of the accessories within the design. And, the packaging and the first dress ceremony should be amazing. Its a product launch within an organization. So cool…

    Too much emphasis can be placed on apparel, but there is a happy medium to move towards.

    Good Luck!

  1389. Mark,

    Hoping you’ll read this since it’s your own blog, but if not then I gave it a shot.

    While including fans in certain contests and so forth can be beneficial, this is one example where I think you’re misguided. As a designer myself (a proud UNT alum that is), essentially all you’re asking for is some hack from anywhere to submit something to you for free that you determine probably just looks the coolest. I think it’s a pretty big mistake and lack of respect for professional designers that you’d narrow what they’re doing down to just a simple visual. Do you realize how much concepting and storytelling goes into something like this? There’s a reason professionals rebrand major companies for a living – because it’s a lot of work and takes time to nail what a brand stands for. By choosing something off you’re blog, you’re not even engaging in partnership with the designer, but just saying “Hey, that looks cool. You win.”

    I’ve got a lot more I can add to that but for now I hope you’ll understand why this is a pretty terrible idea for someone who’s proven to be brilliant with plenty of other major decisions.

    – B

    From MC> So what you are saying is that I’m not smart enough to pick a design that is truly worthy of the Mavs uniform. That I may be so stupid, because I did not pay for the design, to pick a design simply because it was posted and free. Honeslty, I don’t respect or disrespect professional designers. I don’t have an opinion either way. But I can usually tell when someone feels threatened. That isn’t something you are going to fix by commenting on this blog, or by talking or commenting anywhere.

    And let me add this. I have seen a lot of nba uniforms designed by professionals. Have you ever seen a uniform that stood out so much that it may you understand the story of the team’s brand ? Or that even stood out enough to make you take notice that it was more than a uniform ?

    either have i.

  1399. Come on Mark… how disappointing that someone with so much money as you is spec’ing a project of this much importance.

    Spec(ulative) work is a cancer within the design industry and all designers need to understand their role in fighting it.

    The AIGA in the US and RGD in Canada have been hard fighting spec work and working so that designers do not get taken advantage of. There are thousands of studios you could hire to do this project, and you could even hire 4-5 freelancers to come up with designs. This is pretty sad—you have definitely lost my respect.

    http://antispec.com/

    From MC> The thing about talent is that most people think only they have it. If you think people who are not professionals are a threat to you as a professional, that is your issue. If you think i won’t get the best possible design because i’m not paying for a professional, that is a fair position to take. We will see what happens.

    On the flip side, maybe there is someone out there who has a single great design in mind and wants to see it turned into a Mavs uniform. Or maybe there is someone who can’t break through all the gatekeepers and politics that most industries (including the design profession I’m guessing) have and this will be their launching pad. That is the beauty of capitalism. We all take our own risks in our own way and we live with the consequences. If I don’t get a design I like, you can laugh at me. Doesn’t mean I will hire you to design anything. But at least you can say “I told you so”. Which i know to many is great satisfaction

    These sports franchises make a mint off of their logo gear, yet don’t want to pay for a good design firm to develop something spectacular? Just PURE GREED on Cuban’s part. Also, this is just like Junior High, when the logo development was nothing but a contest. Very amateurish approach.

  1411. While I could definitely “pick” the best design, as I have an eye for it, I DEFINITELY don’t have the talent to make one. Sounds like a cool idea though. If I was a designer I would jump on the opportunity to get my name out there.

  1414. Kudos to your marketing department. Whenever you can include your fans in some type of engaging action, you bring in massive positive results. I am the VP of Sales for our charity driven company and that’s exactly what we do. Continued success to you and the Mavs Mark.

  1415. You know what…..I think that some designers would have the opinion posted by Emili Adame, and there are times I might agree, but I like Mark Cuban so much from what he does on Shark Tank, that his generosity with his heart and his wallet makes me want to contribute to the uniform contest. Pay it forward. I’m on it. XOXOXO To Mark.

  1416. Dude, did you even read? “If you think its horrible that the Mavs own your design. Do not post. If you think its cool that the Mavs could possibly use your design and you will have eternal bragging rights , then post away.” I’m a designer and I will gladly draw something up for free. MFFL!

  1417. I think a logo with a basketball in the background, with a mavericks head over it and the name underneath. I am not sure how to upload a pic on here.

  1418. @Emili Any designer who wants to put his or her name on the map would.

  1419. Mark, Please check the first sentence. Should it be “The fans”

  1420. Any pro designers may not post, but the common man, everyday true designer will. I’ll try my best to rep the Mavs. MFFL as long as Cuban is in charge.

  1421. Shows why Cuban is Cuban….why pay for something when you can get it for free. I promise there are designers out there that will submit some amazing uniform choices. Smart move Cuban….

  1424. Dude, any designer who is smart would never give up an idea like that for free.
