Back in May, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban announced a contest allowing fans to design the team’s next uniforms, which he plans to debut for the 2015-16 season. Thousands of fans submitted entries through the Mavs’ official website and crowdSPRING.com. Some were great, some not so much.
While underwhelmed with the design, I am more critical of the design process. As someone who makes their living off the sale of creative work, I am fundamentally opposed to the "crowd sourcing" of creativity. Design contests degrade the value of true creative work. Cuban and Mavs can say that they were "engaging their fans", but this is just a large company making money (jersey sales) off the free work of designers. I also happen to think they got what they paid for it...Not much!

I wrote about how I was wating for this show to come out yesterday. I also posted the pilot but waited to watch it on TV. I have to say that I love the show. I won't be one of the people that's hating it for no reason.

I enjoyed the show #Blackish. Pretty funny. Kinda like looking in a mirror by way of the TV.

As you know. We have a fashion show coming up. We have been putting a ton of hours into it. I can say that I been enjoying this about as much as I enjoyed the first show we ever did. Back when it was just me. Me, and a basement full of clothes. In high school. I had big dreams. I wanted to bring out the band and have the step team and some other things. It was crazy. I even knew back then that I wanted to make people feel that we put on the best show.
I always want people to feel that they left the show and they will never see anything better. It's like seeing Outkast, Kayne and Beyonce live. You leave the show and that's all you can think about for the next couple of months. I want to give people that feel. With each show we do.
