Day fourteen.

 

Los Angeles Lakers

 

Something a little different for the Lakers, a predominantly purple jersey with simple yellow details, including a Minneapolis Lakers-inspired wordmark, complete with stars. I actually used Minneapolis Lakers yellow as it was slightly ‘brighter’ than their current yellow/gold, and gave better contrast against the purple.

Day fifteen.

 

Memphis Grizzlies

 

I’ve changed things up for the Grizzlies by abandoning their current colour scheme entirely. Instead I’ve opted to use elements from their original palette, focusing heavily on the brown/bronze colour which only played a minor part in their original look – it was used as used within the trim on the inaugural Vancouver Grizzlies gear, but eventually disappeared from the unis.

 

My original plan was for a brown jersey with red, white, and turquoise trimming, however it didn’t work as well as I’d hoped so I swapped the turquoise out for the deeper brown I’d used on the re-coloured logos.

 

Could easily see this with a traditional white-based home jersey, along with a red-based alternate to continue the nod back to the old ABA Memphis Sounds.

A couple thoughts off the top of my head...

 

I like what you did with Charlotte, the Lakers, and Houston, as well the out-of-the-box thinking with Detroit, but I'm just not feeling the Memphis colors.

 

I feel that teal or light blue would work better in place of the lighter brown, red, or even white. You've got something there with the Grizzlies, but it's just not quite there--keep at it!

All of these are amazing. Only ones I'm questioning are the Hawks and Grizzlies. Only thing that I think needs to be changed is the colors. Maybe try the original Vancouver colors?

Day sixteen.

 

Miami Heat

 

A variation on the ‘white hot’ jersey that the Heat have worn in the past, however not being a huge fan of the complete white-on-white look, I’ve throw in a splash of colour using the Floridians’ magenta and orange. Why? Because magenta and orange are more fun than red and yellow.

LOVE the Miami white hot. They need to be in that right now! Milwaukee is great too. Although cream would be a nice color change, I think the green works very well for this uniform.

Day seventeen

 

Milwaukee Bucks

 

A reasonably simple alternate for the Bucks making use of the diagonal wordmark from one of their secondary logos. Also repeated the striping from the jersey on the shorts.

Awesome job.  After a season in our new look, I've decided I really don't care for the black alternate.  Something like this would be much better.  Kinda reminds me of the navy OKC set.

As jerseys go, this is a good one. As an alternate? Probably not since it is very similar to the home. I'd suggest either a cream alternate, or have the Wisconsin part of the logo in there somewhere.

 

Edit: Oh wait... if you wanted to really go out on a limb you could do a blue jersey, emphasizing that color even though it is more subtle throughout the rest of the set.

Day eighteen.

 

Minnesota Timberwolves

 

Went with something quick and simple for the Wolves, roughly based on their original road jerseys, but updated with a more modern wordmark (slightly simpler version compared to the one they currently use on their jerseys). Kept the colours to blue, green and white (never liked when they stripped the green out of the jerseys a handful of years ago).
