Yes, true ... but ... I'm not against the concept. I won't lie, I was kind of expecting digital courts like last year's ASW court. Maybe we'll get one in Vegas? Plus, these ones are pretty sweet ...

Here's my unsolicited top/bottom five list. Granted, this could change with number font and placement. Top 5 1 - Philadelphia 76ers (I love the Spectrum look, especially this version in white. This would be a fun regular alternate). 2 - Sacramento Kings (Not many teams can pull off a concept like this paying homage to a past franchise location, but this works for the Kings and I really like this look. I'd love to see more in the future). 3 - Detroit Pistons (I was a fan of last year's jersey, but this one feels like something that could be in the regular rotation as an alternate). 4 - Golden State Warriors (I actually really love this jersey, but I feel like the number font could make this higher or lower). 5 - Brooklyn Nets (Clean, simple and fun. I feel like Brooklyn gets it with the City Editions). Bottom 5 30 - Denver Nuggets (I do like the rainbow treatment, but STOP with the stupid numbers ... so so so dumb). 29 - Miami Heat (the red treatment doesn't really help the stupidity of the jersey. Bring back the Miami Vice look). 28 - Phoenix Suns (this one had so much potential that is completely ruined by the stupid font choice). 27 - New York Knicks (I liked last year's jersey MUCH better. The white version lacks a lot of character). 26 - Orlando Magic (I get the concept, but it feels so unnecessary and bland. At least the orange jerseys had character).

Also of note, if you click that Bulls link in their tweet they listed the home games they're wearing their City Editions in. Their first home game wearing the City Edition is also November 23 (against Memphis).

Either that or do what Utah did with the original sunset jerseys ... wear them a minimum of three seasons. If Nike and the NBA want new designs every year bring back the Earned Edition. But, I think there are other approaches the league could explore. I'd love a Reverse Retro program (not what they did for the 75th) or something different.

Needs more green, yellow and white with a large arched SEATTLE on the front ... then will it be truly perfect.

That was basically my reaction as well.

My yearly obligated posting of said pictures ...

I don't think it will since Ballmer owns the Forum as well.

Hey, 10-year old me thought Seattle had two football and basketball teams. Kids are dumb.

This is a new NBA remix jersey thing? I can't wait to buy my Sacramento Celtics gear!

If there's a buck to be made ABSOLUTELY.

Yeah, I don't hate the colors ... my problem is why blue? There are so many blue clad clubs in the NHL. Purple would have been a better choice IMO.

And, yet they'll still find a way to have the 2000-20 numbers worn by at least 3/4 of the players.

I wonder if that's a hint into the NBA Cup jerseys? Do we know if they'll be the City Jerseys again or possibly a Cup specific design?

[CHECKS THREAD TO SEE IF UTAH HAS A NICKNAME YET]

When did the Miami Heat get into the baseball uniform business?

In the spirit of the this one year affiliation the Americans should rebrand to mirror their big league club. It feels appropriate.

So that means we should be getting another classic next year celebrating the Felton Spencer trade?

How many of us really thought it'd turn out like this? Especially when this thread started? It felt like a forgone conclusion at one point a move to Orlando, Montreal or Nashville felt imminent. I doubt this thread will truly die, especially with the A's situation. I bet we're far from done with that saga. It just feels like we're going to get some major curveballs before they get into a permanent stadium.

I mean, I don't know how much weight you can put on that being the definitive list of possible throwbacks. We're talking about the Nike's NBA here. They would celebrate any anniversary from a team's creation to a failed trade.

Of course that would be better. But, this is the Modern NBA we're probably going to get something like this, just with more purple and more nonsense ...

Eh. It only got to the "Fireworks Rendering Stage" so it would in the end you'd probably be looking at a very toned down Gillette Stadium 2.0. You only have to worry if it gets to the "Two-Dimensional Stock Photo Crowd Stage."

I mean, it's still better than the Ice.

It depends on the team. Some are okay and it does make the court look cleaner, but teams like Detroit should stick to a more traditional look IMO.
