Both the NHL and NBA teams sharing the same colours like Chicago(red, white & black) and LA(Forum blue/purple, yellow-gold). Black(as primary dark), yellow-gold and red look great together.

The_Admiral Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I liked volt because it was a nice change of pace from everyone using the same old orange-leaning athletic gold. Maybe it was a little too green and a pure yellow would be best, but it was a good idea. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLfan Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 3 hours ago, Krz said: So what exactly is this jersey? I’ve seen both Uniwatch and Uniswag report it as a throwback jersey but I know the team has never worn it before. Is it like an in game version of the retro rewind jerseys from the late 90s? Additionally I saw someone say a “human highlight reel” jersey is also coming, but that seems unlikely. It’s the statement jersey. The “human highlight” stuff is in regard to going with the throwback color scheme of the Dominique Wilkins era (even though they didn’t wear a black jersey when he was on the team). There will be a white and red version as well. The white will 99.9% look like this. Which is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecgoff Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Would be perfectly okay with this as a primary Association uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no such thing as primary. There’s 3 equal jerseys.

As dumb as it is I understand that Nike got rid of the normal Home and Away system. And if your right that there is no black on the home than honestly this isn't any better than what they had previously, volt was ugly and the triangles were dumb, but outside of that, I never really hated the uniforms. I think it had potential. These seem uninspired and boring, and this is coming from someone who likes boring classic and traditional.

pelicanfan Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Wow the reactions here are so much different from what I've seen in other threads and other social media. Heard people say they liked what the hawks have now but also like this new one. Guess the hawks look is pretty controversial no matter what As for me I don't mind it, but the way the hawks have branded themselves for the last 5 years I can't help but to still see them as the "futuristic" team if that makes any sense. With the techno looking triangles and neon volt. Now they're going for a more classic look. It's a full 180 turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well at least with these white jerseys, the numbers show up better when the former unis first appeared with Horford and Teague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Do I like this? No. Red black looks good. Red yellow looks good. Black yellow looks good. Red black yellow I think never looks good. Anyway, who cares? This will be one of 20 jerseys of various colors and names, nicknames, city abbreviations, and whatever crap the nba does now. They took the soccer route with jerseys...ads, new ones every year, team colors are optional, who knows what or when a specific uniform is worn.

That template is cool for nostalgia purposes, but this is why everyone has their own opinions. I never liked that uniform, and only liked the wordmark and colors. I like that they went the safe route, because we did the trendsetter thing with volt and the triangles. Triangles were ok, but the volt didn't age well. So I think in time, this new set will age a lot better than the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is special or unique about their look either. It's the historical prestige behind the uniform, which clearly, this Hawks set doesn't have.

Reverse the gold and white on the numbers. Everything else is outlined in gold, so the numbers stick out like a sore thumb. Don't look like they're a part of the same jersey. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of shocked that the College Park Skyhawks connection isn't being talked about more, because based on this leak, the Hawks essentially were testing out their new look through their G League team- The fonts and colors used are identical. I mean that's got to be a first, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The Hawks also used the 2K team to "soft rollout" the eventual color change for the NBA team. The below tweet happened months before College Park even joined twitter. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
