mgfoxx Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm really glad that players are having legendary performances in this season's slate of throwback uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOEYxFRESCO Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Those Magic throwbacks are the most beautiful sets in the league. I wouldn’t change a thing about that uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah, the Magic's attempts to "grow up" as a franchise have never worked. They should have stuck with the paintbrush scripts and pinstripes all along (I'll allow for a slight deviation to the sublimated star pattern but even that wasn't quite the same). ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally hate cartoony-style sports uniforms, but this set is iconic to me and perfectly fitting for Orlando. Their attempt to modernize it just made it feel sterile and forgettable, ironically fitting for their roster over the past few years. It's one of the more rare cases where I would be alright with seeing a full-fledged return to a throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to their second logo with a uniform heavily influenced on the originals would work best. The original basketball logo is just a tad too bland and the current basketball is perfect in my opinion. But, yes, please go back to this styled look.

BBTV Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I liked the Sixers gray when it was revealed, but didn't love it. I liked it more when it was debuted on the court, but still didn't love it. I'm godsdamned close to being in love with it now that I've seen it a few times. The heathering is great, and the stars/numbers are more visible than I thought they'd be. It's unique in the league, looks very good on the floor, and is probably my favorite "city" jersey (though I still prefer last year's.)

mgfoxx Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 On a different note, it's an absolute travesty that the Bucks haven't rolled out a replica mecca/matching city court to go with their new yellow digs. Overall I'm surprised by how much I don't hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Bulldogs63 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Kings wearing light blue alternates at home against the Thunder in their dark and light blue alternates looks :censored:ing stupid.
