-Akronite- Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 After seeing the primaries, it's a big step in the right direction. Fairly traditional with classic team colors but feels fresh. The side panels remind me of these, only not as dated (maybe this was pointed out already): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable!! I never would have guessed!!! I am not the 1000th person to make that comparison. Anyway, yes, teams can have the same colors as other teams and brands. It's not that unbelievable. I guess you missed the point of me selecting those particular pictures to compare. The abundance of white/yellow vertical stripes, the yellow/white-striped collar, the red base.... It looks like they not only stole the color scheme, but that they borrowed several design elements specifically from the McDonald's French Fry carton. Thanks those specific design elements, they're gonna be running around looking like McDonald's french fry cartons. And now that I pointed that out, you won't be able to unsee it. The funny thing is, before I posted that comparison, I was thinking to myself... "Should I post a caption, and explain that it is more than just color-scheme similarities?" But I decided not to... I guess I should have, after all. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think everyone understands that you're making the comparison because of the red base and alternating white/yellow stripes. The thing is that those similarities are inevitable and happen all the time... and and as long as McDonald's isn't also their jersey advertiser, then it's purely coincidental and fine. Hey did you know that the Golden State Warriors look like Ikea and Nesquik?

Yeah, I included "technically" because the 2019-20 season is still going, even if the Hawks aren't part of it anymore. I would have liked to see the draft with new players infused into the season. Actually, I thought they should resume with a midseason tourney in november followed by the 2nd half of a combined 2019-21 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I guess it's a fault in the Hawks' historic branding that every cliche argument on this thing can be applied to them, almost always in a way that's unfair, but you can kinda see why they'd say that.

If the Hawks, Bulls and Blazers were the only NBA teams with that scheme, I’d be happy. Let the Heat go with Vice, or go back to original unis with that brighter red and bring in the orange from the original logo too. The Raptors should be purple and red with black accents. Rockets should be red and yellow, maybe with grey accents. Cavs should be maroon and yellow and navy blue, or metallic gold instead of yellow, but they should never touch black again. Rant over. It just annoys me how much all these teams’ uniforms look like each other. There are so many good color schemes that aren’t used at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as you said before, the Hawks are a predominantly Red and yellow team now. The only black is the statement uniform. The red and white versions look nothing like the bulls, blazers..etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 These uniforms are fine, I guess. I don't know, it's the Hawks. How am I supposed to feel anything for yet another Hawks identity change? They might be the most forgettable team in the NBA, and that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaheim Ducks are settled on a scheme, but refuse to use a good one like they used to have. I'd been thinking of teams that have relatively established "alternate palettes", allowing true "clash" alts that are a totally different scheme. Works well for city jerseys. But many of these were used so briefly they're practically one-offs and don't count. Who has an alternate palette with enough historical use to have traction? Miami heat - vice Cavaliers - orange blue Hawks - blue/red White Sox- r/w/b Chargers - navy or royal Nets r/w/b Mavericks green blue Grizzlies teal Clippers sky blue/burnt orange Lakers light blue/yellow Others have potential, but not established enough Hawks blue/green Timberwolves- prince purple Bulls - city flag Jazz - desert sunset; purple/copper Bucks green/purple Marlins pastel foolishness Wizards blue/gold/black; black/orange Devils red/green Canucks black/red/gold Interesting that it's mostly nba that comes to mind.
