May Madness - 31 days, 31 NBA concepts (Day 31: Seattle Supersonics)

In an effort to get the creative juices flowing a little better I'm tackling a project through the month of May. 31 days, 31 NBA concepts. First up, the Hawks...

 

Atlanta Hawks - Volt-ernate

My take on what other have proposed previously, and something that seems like an inevitability - a Volt-based alternate for the Hawks. I've restricted the triangular pattern to the side panels, as it's all-over application is the only thing I really dislike about the Hawks' current uniform set.

First off welcome to the forum! Always nice to see talented guys debut their stuff over here. It's a really clean concept and I like the decision to limit the pattern to the side panels. Looking forward to what's next!

Day 2.

 

Boston Celtics - Cream Alternate

 

Kept things simple for the Celtics as I couldn't bring myself to tinker with their existing home and away jerseys... however, their alternates are another thing entirely.

 

Have never been a huge fan of the green/black alternate, and the new-ish grey "parquet pride" jersey has sleeves and as a result is dead to me (I actually don't 'hate' the idea behind the grey jersey, but the sleeves... nope).

 

I went with the arched 'Celtics' wordmark from one of their secondary logos and paired it with a cream/off-white jersey. I quite liked the use of this type of shade on this season Christmas jerseys, and I'm surprised we haven't seen more of it previously - especially from the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks who now have a cream colour in their official colour palette.

Day 3.

 

Brooklyn Nets

 

Something loosely based on the old New Jersey Nets jerseys from the 70s/80s, I’ve always liked the asymmetrical design, and it has a little more ‘personality’ than the very basic jerseys they currently wear (they also already have a sleeved white jersey similar to this).

 

Also tried using a ‘BKYLN’ abbreviation for something a little different to what they currently have. Abbreviations work better for some teams than they do for others, still undecided whether or not it works for Brooklyn.

Charlotte Hornets

 

This one is a bit of a mash-up of eras, the wordmark, logos and colours are all from their current set, the pin-striping and cuff are loosely based on their original road jerseys, and the waistband based on late 90’s set.

The Hornets need this ASAP. Very good, sharp mashup of eras, and really what they should have went with from the start. Solid work all around!

Day 5.

 

Chicago Bulls - 'City Pride' Alternate

 

Pieced together a ‘city pride’ jersey based on the Chicago city flag, and making use of the script ‘Chicago’ wordmark from the road jersey back in the 70s/80s.

Not necessarily a new, or totally unique, idea, but I’m reasonably with it given I ran out of time and had to rush it.

Gorgeous look. Love the flag on the sides. I think the wordmark could be cleaned up a bit. It looks like there are some uneven strokes that could be smoothed out. The 'o' bothers me the most.

See, this is what should be done instead of those stupid jerseys like "Buzz City"...
