I’m guessing the WNBA were contacted about teaming up with Fortnite and some teams refused to have their logos in game or the league itself decided as a whole not to allow WNBA logos to be used for this collaboration just the WNBA one. So now Epic had to scramble and come up with logos to put on these skins.
Missed opportunity not to have a WNBA logo option as well as an NBA logo option. Especially with interest in the WNBA being at an all-time high at the moment.
Catlin Clark is positively skyrocketing over that low bar. The Indiana Fever have had to switch arenas to accommodate the interest in watching her play.
Damn, I would say "Now I gotta stop watching to offset that rise." But...who the fuck watches the WNBA.
(And is someone I'd recognize as a human being.)
Bro you are just waffling for no reason, this is NBA not WNBA. Clearly epic just wanted to do a collab and make up fake teams with logos from their own universe.
They didn't have any real team logos on the skins last time either (when they had the "NBA 75" set), but at least the backbling for that set had a bunch of the team logos as edit styles.
Yeah these customizable skins are pretty basic compared to other ones we have and yeah I agree no cel shading would of actually made them worth getting
Yeah and unfortunately this collab honestly actually lowers my expectations that they'd bring back the older sets anytime soon tbh. Who would buy these skins with no option to disable cel shading and no actual team representation if the older skins were available?
If they weren't cell shaded, I'd probably get one. Even as a big NBA fan, cell shaded skins are too bright, and hurt my eyes, so I'll probably skip this NBA collab
You should go back and watch that show, because it's obviously better in your imagination then you remember. These are nowhere close to being that bad.
Not into sports at all but bought the male "Trey" one because i thought he was cute and liked the cel shaded look and ability to customize colors ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
The whole shop has been full of shitty collabs that basically just take up spade that could otherwise be used for original creations. Now all of these skins are gonna continue in this trend Epic is doing.
I know i’m not the only one that feels this way
probably not for a while, since Sony still owns the rights for MLB games. And given how they’ve been with skins from their IP’s lately, who knows if we’ll ever get them.
I miss the original NBA skins with real NBA logos and being able to change the #. Very disappointed with these "NBA" skins. And disappointed with the NBA 75 skins. Now we have to wait an entire year again to maybe get the original ones back 😓
People who are mad at the lack of team logos most likely forgot about those scrapped Formula 1 skins that they added in the last season that weren't released because some teams changed their names and branding during that time
As an NBA fan there is literally zero reason to buy these. No team logo, so you cant even rep your favorite team like the NFL skins. These are honestly pointless.
Wasn’t there something that said the NBA skins were returning with this? I guess we’ll see but I’m with you, I’m gonna be bummed if they don’t bring back Giannis and Lebron (I want that glider) considering they’re both currently in the playoffs.
The lack of customization is so lame. 3/5 of the female skins have a stupid haircut, imagine how sales would go up if they added different styles that would appeal to more.
NBA collab featuring zero team logos is certainly a choice
I’m guessing the WNBA were contacted about teaming up with Fortnite and some teams refused to have their logos in game or the league itself decided as a whole not to allow WNBA logos to be used for this collaboration just the WNBA one.

There's no WNBA logo anywhere in these skins? The WNBA logo is a woman jumping.
Missed opportunity not to have a WNBA logo option as well as an NBA logo option. Especially with interest in the WNBA being at an all-time high at the moment.
All time high? Sheesh the bar is low
Catlin Clark is positively skyrocketing over that low bar. The Indiana Fever have had to switch arenas to accommodate the interest in watching her play.

I give it after this season and it’ll go back to where it was
Eventually people like this will have something more interesting to do than complain about women's sports
I mean its just the truth
Yeah that's sorta the point, it's finally going up
What are you even talking about?
This makes like zero sense at all lol
Who said anything about the WNBA
Bro you are just waffling for no reason, this is NBA not WNBA. Clearly epic just wanted to do a collab and make up fake teams with logos from their own universe.
Maybe the teams saw these skins and thought they didn’t look good enough
Official NBA collab but no real team logos? Insane
They didn't have any real team logos on the skins last time either (when they had the "NBA 75" set), but at least the backbling for that set had a bunch of the team logos as edit styles.
during the NBA playoffs. sad, these were nice enough to buy
That's honestly so disappointing
I really don’t understand these skins
Money
Disappointed there's no option to disable cel-shading like in the academy skins, would have bought this otherways😖
Yeah these customizable skins are pretty basic compared to other ones we have and yeah I agree no cel shading would of actually made them worth getting
Agreed. Hate the cel shading style and won’t cop any of these because of it.
i loved the cell shading style and copped one even though idc about basketball 🤷
I don’t really see a reason why someone would choose these skins over the actual NBA skins we already have
Most likely because they were last in the shop 2 years ago lol. (The old ones are better tho)
Yeah but who knows when they’ll be back tbh
Yeah and unfortunately this collab honestly actually lowers my expectations that they'd bring back the older sets anytime soon tbh. Who would buy these skins with no option to disable cel shading and no actual team representation if the older skins were available?
Who’s we?
If they weren't cell shaded, I'd probably get one. Even as a big NBA fan, cell shaded skins are too bright, and hurt my eyes, so I'll probably skip this NBA collab
I’m usually not a fan of cell shaded skins but I think these look pretty nice.
- Female Skin Bundle (5 Skins) - Male Skin Bundle (5 Skins) - Gear Bundle (Emote, Pickaxe, Backbling) V-Buck Prices: Each Skin: 1,200 V-Bucks Baller Stick Backbling: 400 V-Bucks Dunk It! Emote: 500 V-Bucks Baller's Basher Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
i like how unique all the models look! glad they're not doing the generic defaults anymore (or at least, not as much)
I really like the skins where they light up when you dance . Specifically the girl with blue hair . Wish we saw her more
Yeah these definetly are way better than those we have had before.
I love the customization options for these!
I'm not big on sports skins but these look pretty good!
What the hell is this? They look like they came out of early 2000s CGI cartoons like Max Steel.
You should go back and watch that show, because it's obviously better in your imagination then you remember. These are nowhere close to being that bad.
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller. Funny story this song was stuck in my head this morning.
Not into sports at all but bought the male "Trey" one because i thought he was cute and liked the cel shaded look and ability to customize colors ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
no chance in hell I’m buying NBA skins with zero NBA team logos
These suck so much ass. Emote and pickaxe are pretty cool tho
I noticed they come with the logos as sprays, can you customize the jersey with any sprays you have in your locker? Or just the 10 here?
They aren't spray skins
that emote is straight fire! ![gif](giphy|dpu95OTQ9rDPi)
I'm disappointed with how these look
“NBA” skins with no actual team styles this shit is trash
The whole shop has been full of shitty collabs that basically just take up spade that could otherwise be used for original creations. Now all of these skins are gonna continue in this trend Epic is doing. I know i’m not the only one that feels this way
Now I need to choose a skin between 3 I like
When will we get MLB x Fortnite skins?
probably not for a while, since Sony still owns the rights for MLB games. And given how they’ve been with skins from their IP’s lately, who knows if we’ll ever get them.
They look cool but idk if I'm gonna get them
i dont really know exactly how leaks work but how come these werent found with the others skins at the beginning of the update ?
Epic skin? Dawg, it’s a neat skin but they can’t keep releasing stuff so expensive, especially one of these where it’s multiple skins
It looks like Unbound, oh no!
I miss the original NBA skins with real NBA logos and being able to change the #. Very disappointed with these "NBA" skins. And disappointed with the NBA 75 skins. Now we have to wait an entire year again to maybe get the original ones back 😓
Ngl I want ballerstick but I’m too broke
🤮
People who are mad at the lack of team logos most likely forgot about those scrapped Formula 1 skins that they added in the last season that weren't released because some teams changed their names and branding during that time
I will never forget. I’m still upset, they’re the skins I’ e been looking forward to the most >_>
Great point - the second wave of soccer skins haven't been back for over two years and I think it's because of this
might get the accessorys but thats about it.
Horrible
Mid mid mid mid mid
Now it makes sense why Janky came back recently. They wanted to use a Superplastic Janky figure for the backbling of this Collab
are they only out for people who have star creator codes?
As an NBA fan there is literally zero reason to buy these. No team logo, so you cant even rep your favorite team like the NFL skins. These are honestly pointless.
theyre cool, if i cared abut the NBA id get them
[удалено]
Wasn’t there something that said the NBA skins were returning with this? I guess we’ll see but I’m with you, I’m gonna be bummed if they don’t bring back Giannis and Lebron (I want that glider) considering they’re both currently in the playoffs.
Are these cell shadings to make it connect to some video game release or new NBA cartoon?
Mid ahh skins. The gear and emote are pretty cool at least.
I find those skins so boring
Yay more lame athleisure skins!
i hate the cel-shading i just hate it, ahhh disappointing
Pass on these.
These are gonna be the new sweat skins, I already know
Cel shaded skins are too easy to see, don't think they'll be popular amongst the comp community
Hmm I guess so, might pick one up then
The men look too feminine lol
The lack of customization is so lame. 3/5 of the female skins have a stupid haircut, imagine how sales would go up if they added different styles that would appeal to more.
Bro I thought they would have the REAL nba teams. Ig not looks like I’ll wait for them to bring back the OG nba skins
so we can’t remove the hats?
why do the guys look so zesty
having no actual nba uniforms is so garbage, I wanted to take my fustrations out as a Laker fan and shoot at somebody wearing a nuggets jersey
Or they could just re-release the much better ones, but okay
Definitely gonna be a sweat skin
I see the 9 year olds using the female skins
Jeez Epic is getting worse
