Mark Cuban announces finalists for Mavs jersey design contest

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.

Now, the team has narrowed it down to 10 finalists. On Mavs.com, Cuban has set up a Facebook poll allowing fans to vote on the winner.

Here are the 10 choices:

As with any contest featuring fan designs, some are more polished than others. My vote goes to the set depicting the Dallas skyline, especially the blue/green alternate. The option with the giant logo art and horizontal stripes is solid, too.

Unfortunately, the best design from the early round of submissions didn't make the final cut. How fantastic would this have been?

If you're so inclined, you can vote in the contest, preferably for the skyline jerseys. It will be interesting to see which design ultimately wins out.
