Yesterday's NBA slate of Christmas Day games was largely overshadowed by the bizarre Euro-inspired (?) uniforms that the players were required to wear. Lebron James and Dirk Nowitzki were vocal about their displeasure with the jerseys, but they certainly weren't alone. Below is a recap of our favorite tweets about the NBA's ill-conceived fashion statement:

Call me old school but these jerseys with sleeves are awful.....

Years from now, we'll look back at this Christmas and someone will bring up the NBA sleeve jerseys and we will laugh and laugh...and laugh..

NBA expected D-Rose, Carmelo and Kobe to play on Christmas Day and for fans to like these sleeved jerseys. #Fail

A scorer's timeout resulted in the Kinks' 'Father Christmas' being played in full and it nearly made up for stupid sleeved jerseys. Nearly.
