You Say You Want A Revolution

Add caption

Sure affect the relic cards of the future, adidas will announce today that every NBA team will change their uniforms to the "NBA Revolution 30."  Made of materials that are "30 percent lighter and dry twice as fast" they are supposed to be more comfortable for the players, made with less seems and most importantly to card collectors "switching front and back numbers from heavier, dense materials to breathable mesh."  Hmmmmmm... sounds to me like its the end of the Basketball patch card.

No more large pieces of embroidered material, no more textural feel.  Will this send the price of current patch cards up?

How do you feel about the change?  Leave us a comment.
