Should NBA Teams Rename Their Jerseys To Home and Away?
Since Nike's long-year partnership with the NBA began in the 2017-18 season, Nike has renamed the jerseys from 'Home', 'Away' & Alternate to 'Association', 'Icon' & 'Statement'.
Let's just take the Dallas Mavericks as an example. The jerseys stayed basically the same, but the names and the usage changed. Home shirts were only used at Home during the Adidas era, and Away & Alternate jerseys were only used on the road.

However, this has changed since 2017. Teams are no longer limited to wearing their white "Association" Jerseys at home or using their Icon & Statement Jerseys on the road.
What is the problem?
This tweet has occurred on our timeline, where Chris Creamer of sportslogos.net seems annoyed about the name of the jerseys. The problem with names like 'Association', 'Icon' & 'Statement' is that they say nothing about the jersey itself. Names like Primary & Secondary or Home & Away would suit better names for the jerseys.
