Â They flew too close to the sun with these ones, but I guess that was probably inevitable. The fiesta colours only work as an accent/compliment to the black/white/grey, not as the primary focus of the uniform. These look like they took a rejected Miami Heat Vice design, then lazily slapped their main wordmark on the chest. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Yeah I'm not a fan of the black spurs logo, but I'm ignoring that and focusing on the colors. 1 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 IMO the Spurs' city uniforms from last year were the perfect use of fiesta colors. Excellent use of the colors as a highlight. 17 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 If it was black logo AND numbers, I wouldn't like them as much. The two color numbers really add to it. Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanfan Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 i like this whole "city edition friday" thing that's going on. i don't know if that's an actual thing but if it's not it should be. or "city edition weekends" or something. makes the city jerseys feel more special.  ps: i just watched the thunder game and them having a whole alternate court to match a colorless white uni is so pointless lol. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with these is that there's a huge black wordmark, but none anywhere else on the uniform. The white areas on the collar, cuff, side, and waist striping all should have black instead. That would make it a great uni. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepg Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 You know, even though the Hornets' jersey was overkill at the upper part with the pinstripes going over the honeycomb, it still ended up among the better sets from this mashup theme (they're still using the improperly thick stripes, like they used to on the Classic editions a couple years ago). A very cohesive and representative set of the Hornets' identity through the years, capturing the 90s' spirit and capitalizing on the current trends at the same time. It is basically a fashion jersey, which it's more suitable for, but that's where we are with the NBA and Nike nowadays, having teams wear different fashion jerseys on the court. BTW, Miami's set is as well executed in a fashion jersey sense.  The Spurs' set is nice, but I would've kept the numbers black too, with the colored outline, that's what it's missing to me to have the right visual balance.  Lakers' purple and powder blue set is rather nice too, blows their primary purples with black out of the water (which isn't a hard feat to accomplish). Boston also has some appealing elements going on in their unis, even though I'm not sure all of them – like the white nameplate under the number right above the white waistband – necessarily work together.  The Rockets' managed to make their unis quite interesting too after I wasn't excited at all to see them just switch the yellow in their championship era logo to gray. Very well constrained all in all without going overboard, using the T-Mac era side panels on the shorts on what is otherwise the Barkley era base, and the wordmark from their championship identity as a nice accent. I would've liked to see the 90s' rocket added to the center court logo, though.  Also, what is the grayscale gimmick that OKC is doing with the court too? Who thought it was a good idea with an already lackluster identity? Am I missing something?   2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yeah the Hornets' set continues to grow on me. I wish they didn't have the massive gradient but it's certainly one of the most cohesive unis from this Mixtape experiment. 6 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would like it the other way around - the pinstripes are a jersey element and the gradient is a court element and I'd rather keep things that were on Hornets jerseys (though I suppose the script breaks that anyway). In fact, the classic pinstripes and modern fonts are the perfect Hornets set in my opinion, though probably just have them be teal, purple, and white - no need for the multicolored stuff nowadays.

Shadojoker Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hornets uniform with the Honrycomb court is BONEFIDE 10/10.  Looks gorgeous on TV.  Btw. I agree with some of you.. Those Spurs uniform only works with Fiesta colors as an accent. These new City uniforms are nice but completely ruined by the black wordmark.  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Spurs G-league team should wear a white and fiesta look and call themselves the Austin Fiesta. That seems to be a common word in the city. 2 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if there is enough contrast for them as players, but there is enough color contrast for me as a viewer. It's an okay color, but probably more suitable as a color for a team from Seattle or Oregon (Nike).
