(7/30) Dallas Mavericks I personally think the Mavs' uniforms work better with navy as the primary and not the secondary. I have an alt with the font and colors more in line with their current kit, but for the default, I made navy the main color. There's also an alt with throwback colors and wordmark.

(6/30) Cleveland Cavaliers The Cavs seem to not be able to really decide on what they want their identity to be. They change so often that it's difficult to point to one era's look that truly defines them. As far as their current kit, I'd say the color and font are the right call, but design-wise? It's an incredibly generic layout that's too minimalist to compliment anything else in the kit. I used the square pattern from the 70s and put crossed sabers behind the chest logo to prevent things from coming off as too simple. The alts are something of an amalgamation of previous looks and color schemes, with the dark alt using a saber for the side panel design.

(5/30) Chicago Bulls Did you really think I was gonna overhaul the Bulls? I mean, really, this is the best kit in the league. All I did differently was change the way the logo is presented on the shorts and left it at that. I maintained the black pinstripe alt because it's always been great and made a Chicago flag alt since they come out with a new one every year or two.

(4/30) Charlotte Hornets The current shade of purple the Hornets use is way too low on saturation and darker than it needs to be. I grabbed a more vibrant indigo from their '20/'21 City kit to make things pop more. As for the design itself, I leaned into the hexagon motif and went with an asymmetric layout, using their current font. With the alts, I went with some retro pinstripes on one and a design that runs with their Buzz City alt logo on the other.

(3/30) Brooklyn Nets I thought the Nets' silver uniforms from the mid-2000s were their most unique look and really gave the team a modern identity while not straying too far from established norms. I'd also be hard-pressed to believe that they would've changed their colors all that much if Jay-Z wasn't involved when they first moved to Brooklyn. It's fine for an alternate, but abandoning literally everything that connects the team to their roots beyond the Nets name when it doesn't even improve the look wasn't something I was into. Hence, the ABA-inspired alt.

(2/30) Boston Celtics The Celtics have been running with the same kit for so long with such a classic look that it was hard to find anything wrong with it. Pretty much the only thing I could point to being off with what they have is their shorts. The stripes going down the sides of their shorts, but not their jersey, bugged me. I went ahead and took those off, putting their clover alt logo on one side while maintaining everything else about the uniform. The gold trim on their one alt was always good and--while I'm still not into black alts for teams that don't use the color--their black alt has been around for so long that it's pretty much a classic at this point, and it doesn't look awful, so I kept both of those.

Welcome! I put my NFL concepts on here last summer and I've been slowly, but surely, working on the NBA since I finished the thread. Like previously, these concepts are all done already, so my hope is to upload one every day like with the NFL. I'm also going to be doing one home alt and one away alt, given the NBA's propensity for having a myriad array of kits for every team, constantly adding new ones every year. Also, these will be organized by city this time around, so we're starting with Atlanta. (1/30) Atlanta Hawks The worst things the Hawks ever did to their uniform was remove their primary logo from the jersey and change their color scheme. I personally enjoyed the black accents that the 90s and 2000s had on offer, so I included black as a tertiary. Outside of that, the overall design and alts are pretty straightforward: A yellow recolor and a throwback recolor.

(32/32) Minnesota Vikings One thing I've always thought about the Vikings' kit is that it could use a little more Viking iconography. With that in mind, I opted for a braid pattern. I also used a font similar to the current one and removed the black outline from the helmet logo. And with that, this thread is complete! This was a lot of fun. Before properly wrapping this up, I'd like to thank Bill Schaefer for allowing me the use of his template from Gridiron-Uniforms.com, as well as SportsLogos.net and its staff for allowing us readers to share our work. Thank you all for viewing!

(31/32) Tennessee Titans I have a cardinal rule that I follow when I make these uniforms: If a set's jersey isn't white, I never make it a lighter color than the pants. It ALWAYS looks bad. That's why--for years and years now--the Titans' kit has annoyed me greatly. Their light blue over dark blue set continues to be in the rotation year after year and it always looks awful. This has nothing to do with the philosophy behind the design I made, mind you. I'm just taking the chance to get on this soap box while I can. As for the kit I made, I switched the logo to their dagger alt. It's mostly a preference thing, but I also don't see the point of the fire on their primary. As for the rest of the uniform, it's largely a combination of old and new elements, but with red added as a minor accent, since it already features in their logos.

Huh... Never knew that was a thing. I, personally, don't mind it, but I didn't exactly think it would be the most well received, either.

(30/32) Houston Texans Somehow, 20 years in, the Texans have never changed kits. I tried going with something that really leans into the Texan namesake, incorporating the flag into the helmet and extrapolating it into a striping pattern on the jersey. I also utilized an oft-unseen alt logo and relocated the usual logo to the hip.

(29/32) Pittsburgh Steelers For a team from the steel city that has "steel" in their team name, I'm surprised the Steelers never utilized any silver. I took a crack at this, keeping black as the main color and changing yellow to an accent color and simplifying the logo, keeping it on the right side of the helmet for the sake of tradition.

(28/32) Seattle Seahawks While I believe the Steve Largent-era kit to be Seattle's best, the presence of silver kind of muddies things. A simple blue and green scheme works just fine without any other extraneous accents.

I imagine you're referring to making the numbers white instead of purple. I considered this when originally designing the kit, but the issue then becomes the drop shadow not being very identifiable. An issue that the Raven's definitely have with their current black alt.

(27/32) New Orleans Saints The Saints' alt whites are way too good not to use full time. I just made the striping more consistent and extrapolated that design into an accompanying home set.

(26/32) Baltimore Ravens I think the Ravens wearing black as their primary works better than the purple, though I imagine there'll be some conflicting opinions from those of you reading this, and it's not as though the purple looks bad, so there's an alt for that. I also added a hip logo. Outside of that, not much is too terribly different except for the logo. I recolored the original version of the raven logo from the team's early days. I think it looks much more aggressive and cool than the current logo, so I just rebalanced the colors so that it wasn't so pale and put that on there.

(25/32) Los Angeles Rams So many things went wrong with the Rams' current kit. The gradients are bad, the logo is lame, they made the shade of yellow awkwardly light, the sublimated stuff on the numbers adds nothing, it's just wack. The line on the horn also doesn't work for me personally. I understand the idea, but it being off-center with no second line to balance it out looks really off to me. I added a second line myself and extrapolated that into what is, essentially, the Eric Dickerson-era kit. However, I also know there were a lot of fans of the old navy and white look, so I added a home and away set for that scheme as well.

(24/32) Las Vegas Raiders The Raiders have needed to modernize for some time now. The black and silver that was intimidating for years to the point of NWA wearing their jerseys in videos has stagnated over the years. I took the opportunity give a more modern look to the Raiders, including the logo. The Raiders' logo is a classic, yes. It also looks like someone's dad having a mid-life crisis in the black hole. It needs to be updated for modern standards of intimidation, so I took a crack at it with a beard and a bandana, while maintaining the eyepatch.

(23/32) New England Patriots The Patriots are in a similar boat to the Panthers where I can find zero reason for them to use silver anymore. It mainly just exists on the helmet now. Definitely looks better than the Tom Brady uniforms though. Beyond getting rid of that, this is a pretty straightforward redux, except for the helmet. I used an old unused logo that you might be familiar with if you browse the site enough. I thought it would fit more with a silver-less kit.

(22/32) Carolina Panthers I don't know why the Panthers even bother with silver anymore. Their aways confine it entirely to the helmet, even changing the color of their pants to white. It's easier just to dump it, and I don't think the scheme is any worse off for it, either. I went with a sleeker, more modern design than what they have now. Something to note about the helmet: I obviously went with an alternate logo, but I also used the old version of it from before they reworked their primary some ten years ago. I never understood why they changed it. It was never necessary. To me, it was only made worse and they should really change it back.

(21/32) Green Bay Packers I really didn't think anything needed to change for the Packers beyond making the stripes on the pants and helmet consistent with the jersey, so that's all I did.

I went back and forth on this for a while, so I understand the idea. I ultimately just preferred the current outcome, but it's a fair critique.

(20/32) Detroit Lions I just submitted this to the site's Twitter contest last week, but I wasn't able to explain it as well as I might have liked due to the character limit. I decided to incorporate the old school pair of bars from back in the day, adding them to the current logo and working them in throughout the uniform. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the blue pants when Detroit revealed their current kit a few years ago, so I included it as an option for an away set. I also--despite generally disapproving of black alternates for teams that don't have black in their scheme (Kaepernick's 49ers come to mind once again)--made a black alt. The one the lions had back in the Matt Millen days was far too good to simply let the idea fall by the wayside after black was removed as an accent a few seasons ago.

(19/32) New York Jets While I approve of the recent choice to bring back black as part of the color scheme, I think the Jets tried to modernize their uniform a little too much. The other thing is that the black jersey and pants is a bad idea. The combination of green and black only works with black as the secondary color, unless the green is, like...neon.

(18/32) Jacksonville Jaguars The Jaguars can't seem to learn the lesson that removing yellow from their color scheme is a bad idea. Their current kit isn't as bad as the last time they did this, but I'd still take their last bunch of uniforms over what they have now, lame helmet gradient and all. I went with something relatively simple, but kept a more modern font and added a shoulder logo to prevent it from losing too much of the Jags' identity. I also opted not to have a teal jersey. While there are rare instances across sports of teal working as a primary, the Jaguars were never one of them and have ALWAYS looked better in black. Finally, I simplified both logos and removed the shading from them. It felt superfluous to me. Logos don't need to be these artfully crafted boondoggles, they just need to be memorable. No need for anything more than that.
