So I guess the Sixers are getting tweaked uniforms next season then...

Please for the love god before this thread gets hijacked...

The Tennessee Titans are the Houston Oilers and the Houston Texans are an expansion team. The Texans are not the Oilers. They never were and never will be. 

Please stop.

Maybe it’s the lighting (and it probably is) but the Cowboys throwback (fauxback) helmet looks like a brighter blue than the previous iteration. More like the original uniform these are supposed to be a throwback to. 
 

I’m also of the opinion that these Power Ranger looking a** helmets look terrible.

Isn't it weird that we haven't seen the jersey yet? Everyone has assumed that the Cowboys were just bringing back the navy. The Giants are gonna be wearing blue in that game and the idea of Navy vs. Royal doesn't make any sense at all. Could the Cowboys be wearing white throwbacks as a surprise?

I'm actually liking that Kings jersey for some reason.  Seems like a nice template for potential new uniforms.

The Nuggets one is crazy but good too.

I think the Lakers ran out of ideas...

Seeing the Wizards throwbacks make me realize how much I actually liked the wizard logo when it was recolored and modified. The campaign button/monument logo is great but the wizard just has something about it. They should bring it back as an alternate logo.

I don't like that the Lakers purple jersey isn't just a color swap of the yellow jersey, what they switched to this year looks much better but I still wish it looked like the classic Lakers stuff. I think they should just have a black alternate jersey permanently and be done with it, especially considering the Black Mamba association.

The perfect Lakers set: GOLD, Purple, White and Black. Leave the last two for weekend/holiday games and quit screwing around.

I have not found a sigle example in sports where red and purple (and black!) work well together. 

Sacramento Monarchs!

Agreed, and while I understand where they're coming from, it's odd to have a jersey that pays tribute to one that was most famously worn by... Jordan and Shaq and Shawn Kemp, not any Spurs.

David Robinson says "Am I a joke to you?"

The Broncos never wore that uniform combo for a reason. The uniforms were dependant on the side panels matching. I guess they figured if they were going to play like crap they might as well look like crap too.

This is a broken record opinion at this point but this is what the Cowboys should be wearing.

Would rather the Cowboys correct this before entering BFBS territory

 

There is no need to add silver to the jersey. All the Cowboys need to do is fix the pants and move on.

infamous jerseys debuted last night. 

they look ridiculous but i’d be lying if i said i didnt want to see them wear these more. they’re just so funny to look at. 

After Rudy Gobert's exit from the team the Jazz decided to dress up like security guards in hopes of improving their defense.

I'd like to see the bears in all white every once in a while.

One of my favorite looks.

Also, I found this picture of Devin Hester wearing DOUBLE striped socks.

New England broke out their throwbacks last weekend -- would've been optimal wear Monday night instead

 

I don't think throwing back to a 46-10 loss is a good idea.

The 2 toned Helmet really stood out

Oh, it stood out alright. It stood out like a dog turd in the middle of my living room floor.

The execution of the two tone helmet was unbelievably bad and I can't see how anyone thinks it wasn't bad. They originally unveiled it as a gradient transition and it was way better that way, it was still stupid, but better and more tolerable.

Not to mention their explanation for the two tone was some dumb marketing speak about how it represents a Jaguar leaping out of the shadows, which is hilarious because the jaguar on the helmet is actually moving into the black space, so it's literally not what they said it was suppose to be. 

Jets in black for the 4th week in a row and then next week they will wear all black.

Please stop.

All throwback jerseys in 1994 did not have the NFL logo on them. Maybe they changed them to regular NFL logo jerseys when the 49ers petitioned the league to make them the home and road midseason and some players either kept theirs or switched to the new one. That's my guess.

I wonder how many other things they can fit on this jersey.

You guys want an updated mountain uniform for the Jazz? Let's remember the City jersey for next year...

I mentioned that NBA 2K23 had retro graphics for it's Eras mode awhile back but I feel like I should mention that the game also has holiday graphics too. It's pretty cool and would be even cooler if this happened in real life.

I just got to 1995 and it's actually dumber even than this: Before you get to 1995 the Rockets play on a generic version of their real-life court of that era, sans "The Summit" arena name, which has been in the game since the 94-95 Rockets were added to 2K12:

Once you get to 95-96 and the Rockets change uniforms to the Space-Age Pajamas, the court does indeed change... but to the authentic court of the old red/gold/white era, actual arena name and all:

I actually love when this happens, when game devs put in extra effort to get things wrong. It's incredible.

The Richfield Coliseum has the same issue for the Cavaliers too. Also the Sonics permanently play at the Kingdome until 1995 and I heard someone point out the issue with that being that Jordan played in Seattle in 1991 and that game was moved to the Kingdome, so it stands to reason 2K just went off of that.

The bears' orange alternate uniforms are not bad in a general sense. They just don't look like the Chicago bears.

 

The navy blue helmets and socks look way better with the orange jerseys.

 

This sorta looks like an Illinois vs Minnesota Big Ten game 

This is my exact thought. Any other team could come out wearing this orange stuff but the Bears? It doesn't work at all.

For some reason, over the last few years of NBA 2K, the devs got it in their heads that the Portland Trail Blazers wore a red away jersey from 1979 all the way up until 1991:

In past titles this wasn't such a big deal, since the black jersey they actually wore from 1986-1991 was still in the game to be freely selected... 

But since 2K23's MyNBA lets you start as early as 1983, and players' jersey selections are limited to whatever is listed as being worn in a given year, errors like this in their database become a bit of an issue. Speaking of... 

IRL the New Jersey Nets changed from their iconic ABA jerseys in 1981 to a simpler, more traditional uniform, but changed back in 1983 after fan backlash, keeping a slightly-modified version of the ABA look all the way until 1990. In 2K, not only did they get the years wrong, listing the changes as happening in 1982 and 1984 respectively, but due to the way the ABA jerseys are listed in-game, said to be worn uninterrupted from 1977-1990, the change back doesn't happen at all: 


They'll instead just keep the "blue script" jerseys all the way up to 1990. 


Oh, and the other big omission I noticed: despite some vague assurances in the lead-up to the game's launch, I'm up to the 1989 playoffs in my file and so far none of the All-Star Games have used period-accurate uniforms, instead putting everyone in the 2022 jerseys. 

There's way more issues the further into the years you go. I just got to 2008 in the game and the Timberwolves switched to their updated wolf head and jerseys but the court does not match but I can sort of deal with that however what's really bad is the 1995 Rockets playing on their 1994 court.

I'll give 2K credit though because MyNBA Eras is an incredible mode and I didn't think they would be able to nail it all in one shot because we're talking about 4 decades of NBA history to cover and that's an incredible amount and it's impressive they even got as much as they did.
