In fact, until now, I'd never even considered that they might share similar colors to the Rockets and Hawks. Well, and the Heat's red color is noticeably darker than the Hawks and Rockets' red. 4 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

8BW14 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I’ve always thought the Rockets should roll with red and white. No black, no silver/gray, just red and white. Probably an unpopular opinion but I think these: without the black drop shadow and modern tailoring would be really sharp. I love the shorts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorts would probably have worked with a jersey that didn’t have as much going on. Bigger wordmark was definitely needed. 2 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Bigger wordmark was definitely needed. Yeah if the shoulder loops were erased we could have a bigger wordmark. Maybe keep the double “loop” look going just on the armhole trim. I think there’s something there anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike can still do it too as evidenced by the Celtics and Lakers 1940's throwbacks from the last few years but they won't do it with regular uniforms for some stupid reason. The shiny fabric was great for teams like the Rockets and Nuggets. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushy Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 it’s insane to me. The Nuggets had some of the best uniforms in the league, and their current set is absolutely the worst in the league to me. Like I honestly hate watching them play with just how their jerseys and court look. It’s so awful. 7 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I like the Nuggets’ current look, but it pales in comparison to their rainbow alternates which would be a top 5 identity in the league if adopted. Although the original rainbows clear this, and are literally my favorite uniforms of all time. 4 2 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 The thin lines make them look pastel from a distance, and a rainbow motif is already going to seem soft to a lot of people. The stripes need to be bolder. I agree that that should be their set. The primary colors set does nothing for me. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 the nuggets current unis look pretty normal to me. a little bit too normal… there’s nothing wrong with them at all. but they definitely don’t stick out like how their old uniforms used to. i really do miss that baby blue. i wonder how’d they look if they just took this design but recolor it to their old colors. design wise it’s a really solid uniform. but color wise i think they’re one of the more forgettable looks as of right now… i also just wanna say how it’s absolutely criminal how nike has never made a baby blue jersey for them… 1 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat in white at home, Knicks in unnecessary blues Game 3, black in Game 4 I kind of thought that a Sixers/Celtics matchup might be blissfully retro, but I forgot that the Sixers still try to be a blue and red team at the same time and the Celtics keep trying to opt out of their home jerseys of 60 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with their overly simple court. And their alternate having “Mile High City” as the word mark and doesn’t even match the rest of the set puts it over the top for me as the worst. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The Nuggets were one of the worst Death By Tweaking cases. I don't even remember what they were doing by the late 2010s. I guess fundamentally, they are a blue and gold team and always have been in one way or another. I think they have to have some form of yellow/gold in there if they're going to be called the Nuggets. However, I really think rainbow on black is quite striking for them, and doesn't have the problem of an actual color scheme conflicting with the rainbow. 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...
