NBA Reverse Retro COMPLETE


johne9109

Recommended Posts

Time for part three of my four part series. So the 4 major American sport leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA) all feature a unique uniform program; MLB- City Connect, NHL- Reverse Retro, NFL-color rush, NBA- City edition.) I decided to swap them around between the leagues. The first of these that I did was the MLB getting Color Rush uniforms and then I did the NFL getting City Edition uniforms. This series will be the NBA getting Reverse Retro uniforms. It's funny because the NBA will be doing Mixtape uniforms this year so it'll be interesting seeing the crossover between what they do and what I choose for the Reverse Retros.

Boston Celtics

I decided to use a new template (the other just wasn't working for me) I will go back eventually and redo the Hawks on this new template. For the Celtics I decided to take their look from the 40's and bring yellow into the mix. It's a color the team has always used on merch and tertiary items, but wasn't used on a uniform until very recently. I felt it was a nice mix up for a classic uniform

Charlotte Hornets

For the Hornets I decided to go with the Bobcats Racing Day uniform that was used from 2009-2011. I chose this design because it had a connection to the hornets with the pinstriping, but was still uniquely Bobcats with it's side pattern and checkered flag design. I reversed it by using the Hornets colors over the Bobcats colors

Dallas Mavericks

So the Dallas Mavericks have really only had two looks; their classic look and their current look. The classic look has been in it's blue, white, and green variations. We have also seen the current look with elements of the classic colors. So the only option really left was doing the classic look with the current color set and well I gotta say it works pretty well

Denver Nuggets

For the Nuggets I went with their uniform from the late 70's with a modern color palette. I know a lot of other people would do something with the rainbow uniform but I feel it's been way overdone and wanted to do something different. I think this is another great and unique uniform that would more sales and look great on the court

LA Clippers

I've always really liked the script look for the clippers and unless I've missed something; they've never done it in blue so here it is

 

LA Lakers

I also went script for the Lakers, throwing it back to the 60's; a look they surprisingly really haven't thrown back to very much since switching from the blue to yellow and purple *ahem* sorry forum blue. 

 

Memphis Grizzlies

We throw it back to the Vancouver Grizzlies, i mean obviously right? This uniform really pretty crisp in black and I could seeing it being a full time alternate for the Grizzlies. Also, I know I put the Vancouver wordmark and in actuality they would put Memphis instead

Miami Heat

We're getting a lil wild with the Heat. The Heat entered the league with some great uniforms right off the bat (I prefer the originals, but hey that's just me). We saw these uniforms in white, red, and black; so that left to make an orange edition. Is it vibrant and in your face? yes, but is it Miami? You're goddamn right it is.

Milwaukee Bucks

I mean of course it was gonna be this for the bucks. We see this design from the 90's get the current color treatment and I gotta say it works a lot better than the purple

 

Minnesota Timberwolves

So there were a couple routes the Timberwolves could go, but I felt doing a true reverse of Minnesota's original uniform was the way to go

 

New Orleans Pelicans

With the Pelicans being a newest NBA team I went back the the New Orleans Hornets days and gave a new coat of pain; resulting in what I think would be a great look for the Pelicans

New York Knicks

Outside of a very few changes the Knicks have pretty much had the same uniforms. The biggest change being these uniforms from the 50's and 60's and work great for a reverse retro program

 

Oklahoma City Thunder

In the same way the Colorado Avalanche and more closely the Minnesota Wild paid homage to teams before them with their reverse retro uniforms OKC does the same paying homage to the beloved Seattle Super Sonics and their uniforms from the 70's though the 90's

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic's most iconic look is the pinstripes hands down, but it's been done every which way way possible. So I decided to go width the star patterned uniform from the late 90's-early 00's. It was used in a blue and white uniform, but never black so that is what we get here

 

Philadelphia 76ers

I wanted to go a really unexpected route for the 76ers. Their uniforms from the 70's were different, but still felt very 76ers.

Blue letterings on red base don't go well together, considering its visibility.

Phoenix Suns

The Suns look from the 90's-00's is easily their best look and they should definitely go back to a look similar to this. While the original white uniform was predominantly white the reverse retro gets a predominant orange look

 

Portland Trailblazers

The Portland Trailblazers have kept their diagonal design in tact in some way shape or form since its inception. So for the reverse retro I went back to the design that came before from the 70's. This look is still unique in it's own right and looks really good in black
