I remember there used to be a white guy who pretended to be black who posted here. He had a ten-ton bug up his ass about Milwaukee -- not Milwaukee-as-Bucks-synecdoche but anyone doing anything in Milwaukee -- ever doing anything related to Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, like the city putting up a statue of the Fonz. (Minneapolis has one for Mary Tyler Moore, so maybe this was just a Nick at Nite marketing campaign that really caught on.) And I get it insofar as those sitcoms weren't very good. But because of the broadcasting landscape when they first ran and the life they took on in reruns, I understand them as enduring low-cultural institutions. How many people who have ever lived have seen Atlanta? Hundreds of thousands? Moreover, how many of them don't listen to NPR? 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And presuming they don't want to use the term Bullets, even as a retro, then this original Wizards look is the only one they can call back to with any degree of historical accuracy. And even if they were OK using the Bullets name, there aren't a ton of options in their history outside of the iconic red-white-blue striped sets that inspired the current modernized look. There's a simple orange/navy look from the late '60s, and the overly simple post-pinstripe uniforms of the early '90s. That's about it I can't recall, have they ever gone way back and done a retro as the Chicago Zephyrs?

I totally get your point, but if that’s thier reasoning, then I’m cool with it. Well, yeah, the options are limited. Actually, I'm pleased to see them wear it, but it would be more interesting if they used the earlier and the initial version of the uniform with bronze color in place of gold, the one MJ played in. Or maybe they will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve never really had a “thing” that was theirs aside from nautical flags in the San Diego days, and the large uniform sails are a thing they could own really well. I see your point, but ultimately, the Clippers are still in the second-largest media market, however much of a gong show they've been in that time, and I feel like that sort of demands an identity that's low on gimmickry. I've never minded them in red, white, and blue. I liked their early '90s stuff: I don't think they said "Los Angeles" on the road, though, which would have been a good change to make since the Lakers wouldn't have done that. 6 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make a blue version of the cream city set they had a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolob Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 It’s a shame Sterling tarnished that look. It’s not bad per se … it’s just very very straightforward. I wish they didn’t jump into their current look so fast. 2 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

The_Admiral Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Would have been an interesting alternate history if the Clippers had adopted the seafoam/creamsicle/silver/black identity, moved to Anaheim in '93, but then went back to normal when the Staples Center opened. 3 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks classy, @conrad, but I wonder if it might look better (or not) if the front jersey numbers were: a) larger, b) farther apart from the team name.

gosioux76 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The white version from @Conrad. is damn near perfect. The CAVS wordmark holds the space much more prominently than the full CLEVELAND. I still can't get over the stark disparity between the C (sans sword) logo and the CAVS typeface, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectjohn Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm convinced Conrad put the logoman back on the front of the jersey in his mockup just to tease us. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
