  1. That would be a nice color to bring back. It would make them stick out from a design standpoint. As bad as the Grizzlies were during the Vancouver years, that color still manages to be somewhat iconic to their identity. I was never a fan of them abandoning it. Even their early Memphis color way was unique.
  2. I like the blue statement jersey (if true). It's not perfect (for starters, it needs a more inspired wordmark as well as black on the collar and shoulder cuffs, but it's a good base for a look encompassing some of their previous designs. My favorite part is the side panel with the sublimated stars.
  3. That's actually part of the reason that I've grown to loathe the fire emoji in recent years. It started when the Magic unveiled their first orange set a few years back .
  4. The Jazz look reminds me of what the Clippers tried to do in 2015. It's such an awful swing and a miss that it's made me wonder how in the hell it even got approved. Then I remembered that bad taste, brand ignorance, and social media shills make for a dangerous combination.
  5. Christ, they're not that fair off from the regular set.
  6. I'm getting a bit of a Boxed Water vibe from those Jazz sets.
  7. Last night’s game was beautiful to watch. The game itself was entertaining, but Boston’s green looked so good on the Warriors’ court, especially when the latter is wearing their home whites. I looked at the LockerVision schedule and, assuming the information is correct, it should be a fairly traditional uniform matchup throughout. It’s just too bad that Golden State won’t be wearing their road blues for Games 3 and 4 in Boston (that’s not slated to happen until Game 6, if necessary). Here’s hoping the series goes the full distance. It’s also unfortunate that the Warriors aren’t scheduled to wear their Classic Edition set at any point in this series. Would’ve looked great at TD Garden. This is a commemorative season, after all.
  8. Yeah, that's what I meant by Utah's history (not the state's history, but the team's). For everything else, I think the red rock set was a great tribute piece.
  9. Back before the Nuggets introduced their 2003-04 look, I actually had thoughts of them utilizing that color scheme. Now, I'm not so sure, unless the NBA expands to Pittsburgh... Anyway, I'm hoping Utah does end up scrapping the black and yellow redesign. It was a terrible idea with little to no basis in the team's history. They may not be as successful as the likes of the Bulls, Celtics, and Lakers (in terms of championships), but the Jazz (and the color purple) have become synonymous with Utah. There's too much tradition for it to go away in favor of something soulless.
  10. I don't mean adding a ton of black. Just enough to fill in the white space inside of the trim. It'll help make the black "SPURS" wordmark blend in a bit easier. On the flipside, adding a fiesta colors border to the wordmark would also help.
  11. These are great, but I would add some black trim to break up the fiesta colors a bit.
  12. This would've looked a lot better (not perfect, mind you) if it had taken place in Minnesota. I think their homecourt would've tied the colors together nicely since navy can sometimes have more of a neutral effect. The Lakers' floor takes too much away from the match-up and makes it even more garish.
  13. I agree. This actually isn't too far off from the mashup that I've always envisioned. It would be so much better with blue as opposed to orange. There are other things I'd change as well, but the use of orange is my biggest turn-off to this set.
  14. Wow, the Bulls actually wore red on the road last night. I thought LockerVision was lying. Looks like they’ll be wearing white for their home opener as well.
  15. Call me a weirdo, but I kind of like that OKC NASCAR style set. Unsurprisingly, the Love's logo kills it.
  16. I'm in agreement with you. It was certainly less jarring than the Hornets uniform, which made it seem like he was a middle-aged person trying to masquerade as a high schooler.
  17. I liked those uniforms, but they never really looked good on any of the main holdovers from that '95 Finals team (Penny Hardaway, Nick Anderson, or Horace Grant), though Darrell Armstrong looked fine in them.
  18. A better question is why does Shelden Williams look like Ken Griffrey Jr. suffering from gigantism?
  19. The Suns and Lakers almost always make a great color matchup.
  20. Finally, something to beat that Knicks/Hawks orange vs. red disaster from 2013.
  21. With the exception of the star collar (something I wish they'd bring back), I never thought those uniforms were great. But I can agree that both sets work really well for Dwight. He spent 8 years in Orlando and donned both for 4 years apiece.
  22. On the Melo front, I do feel as if both Denver and New York are his "right" teams. He was more successful in Denver in that the Nuggets made the playoffs in each of his first 7 seasons with the team. He also made the WCF. Not impressive enough feats when you compare him to other more successful members of his draft class, particularly LeBron and Wade, but they were at least a consistently decent team during that stretch. Not totally unlike what Kevin Garnett went through in Minnesota. He was less successful in New York, but he took them to 3 straight postseasons early on in this stint while posting averages comparable to what he put up in Denver. If anything, his next destination may be considered his "wrong" team. I guess it depends on how he does from a statistical standpoint and how far his new team is able to advance.
