Those images aren't really official I don't think, just the mock-up someone did on the site.
Looking at the authentic jerseys on nba store, there is actually a *tiny* bit of yellow trim up there, but in pictures of the jersey being worn it's completely invisible. So you ought to at least make it a lot thinner I think - we want it it to look like it does in games while it's being worn, not to just match the diagram. Theoretically they should be the same, but the point is that these diagrams really exaggerate the trim on a lot of jerseys.
That's always been a HUGE problem in people's patches IMO, that I've seen on this site, particularly with the vest/v-neck style jerseys. Miami, Denver, Detroit jersey patches always get done with big fat trim around the neck and shoulder and wind up looking like some traditional 1980's uniforms, when in fact that red trim on the Heat and Pistons roads, yellow trim on the Nuggets roads is barely perceptible. That could get replicated pretty well with maybe a 1 or 2 pixel thin line on a jersey patch, but patchers constantly give it a big fat stripe.
