Should've put CITY underneath the script.

Other than that...meh. The unis aren't as bad as the logo, but eh. Generic is the best way to describe it. The colors are nice, but that's about it. If the Knicks and Warriors had a kid, that'd be it.

I actually kinda like them.

The blue jersey kinda reminds me of the New York Knicks blue jersey (atleast the photos, cause the navy looks like black.)

BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS |

The arched Oklahoma City text is atrocious. The word "City" is basically the same width as the numbers, and creates a stacked effect. It really doesn't look like too much thought was put into this whole thing. Like others, I'm hoping this is just a single season deal while they sort everything else out.

The identity and uniforms are very generic. Uniforms are that bad best the whole identity says Cleveland Cavaliers (pre-Lebron).

College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here

So I'm guessing somewhere in an old storehouse at the NBA headquarters there was a few boxes of these laying around without the wordmarks

Other than navy instead of black, those are pretty much the same uniforms

Just for comparison's sake:

I was really hoping that they would go the route of putting Oklahoma above the number and City below it. Some might say that looks too much like a college jersey or whatever, but I think the Hornets pulled it off well in their brief stint there. It just looks to crowded near the top of that away jersey. I like the simple design, but again, the colors scream "happy, sun-shiney day" instead of Thunder. Hopefully they realize that soon and get to changing their colors

I agree. The Hornets did it right when they brought out special jerseys for their last home games in 2006 and 2007.

A few observations after seeing this close-up shot of the new Wolves jersey:

-- It looks like the stitching of the blue border along the shoulders causes the fabric to slightly curl upward. That could be a real eyesore if it becomes common.

-- The already unnecessary triangle at the neck seems to be outlined by something.

-- Dude got a stain on his jersey.

Looks like Rafael Araujo... infamous garbage pick by Rob Babcock and the Raptors a few years back.

I dont remember Araujo having tatoos like that though...he's somewhat of a local talent actually, I live about ten minutes from the BYU campus. I watched him alot in college and i swear i dont remember the tatoos...IDK thoguh im not sure haha.

Well, my two cents for this summer's changes are this:

Magic - Well done. Awesome, I love it.

Timberwolves - A little busy, but not too bad. It's modern, futuristic, and unique. Very creative too.

Kings - Road is flawless. Home...not so much....

Hornets - Home is pure perfection. Would have rather seen white numbers on road instead of gold, but however the road is still incredibly sharp. Cant wait to see it in action.

Bucks - Third uniform is gorgeous. Im one of the few who actually like it. I believe its absolutely incredible. Classic mixed with A modern twist. Love it.

Nuggets - Bringing out the navy was just the right move.....to copy cat the Grizzlies. Should have switched the Alternate jersey to royal blue to match the other uniforms instead. If the Nuggets and Grizz were to play right now, I wouldnt be able to tell the two apart.

Thunder - I vomited. Then went blind. Then got cured, got my sight back, saw that monstrosity of an identity again and lost my sight for a second time........then I vomited again.

Well, theres my two cents for the summer.
