Would have loved to see how many teams would have kept their uni designs intact had they won a title in them, e.g., Vancouver.

Don't know, but I doubt many. Houston won back to back titles and switched jerseys the next year.

In NBA 2K23 the Wizards and Pistons have throwback courts to wear with the throwbacks. The Spurs have a 50th Anniversary logo at center court for the throwbacks and for some reason the top of the key is colored gold. The Suns, Heat, Rockets and Lakers do not have any throwback court.

 

Celtics will have a 6 in the paint.

We need a hard-reset year of no alternates where everyone just wears white at home and dark on the road, as the NHL did in '08 and '18 with the supplier switches. Give people a chance to miss some stuff; I can't believe the drive to consume product is that high that they can't stop.

Quite possibly one of the best posts of all time. I hardly visit the site because of the leagues just destroying what uniforms are about, identities.

I also want to add on with this that every NBA teams court now has small wordmarks in the corner of each baseline to make room for advertising beside it. We saw some teams go with this last season but now it seems to be every single NBA team.  This is a huge blow to the creative direction of team branding and just looks downright awful and soulless. Greed wins once again.

Yeah, but that change was set in motion before the Rockets even won their first chip. I think the owner wanted to scrap the rebrand after the 2nd title but it was far too late.

The 1990's is when the beautiful uniforms of the 80's got a 90's atrocity for most clubs.

 

1991-92 Philadelphia moves away from the classic 80's look for a cartoon 90's look. In 1994-95 they changed again to a more conservative look (The Allen Iverson rookie uniform). In 1997-98 the Sixers made Black the primary color and got radical with another set. Most fans (depending on age) love the Iverson jerseys but I guess I'm in the minority and didn't care much for them or their 07-09 remix. Thankfully in 2009-10 they went back to tradition and brought back red, white, and blue.

 

*side note the 1994-97 76ers uniforms are not in NBA 2k sadly.

 

1992-93 saw changes for the Phoenix Suns. I personally liked the 1992-2000 sets and also their previous 70's-1992 look. Then the suns went with a bland generic look for 2000-01. In 2013-14 they ditched the generic set and used a fauxback to the Barkley set. Then the NIKE takeover in 2017-18 saw Phoenix go backwards.

 

1992-93 Saw Atlanta abandon the Dominique Wilkins set for a more conservative look and remained until the end of the 1994-95 season which also included a Black alternate for that one season. 1995-99 Atlanta went with a radical 90's look then went bland from 1999-2006 and got worse with the 2006-2015 set. The 2015-2020 set was much improved and the 2020-current set is more traditional.

 

*side note the 1992-94 Hawks sets and their 1994-95 Black alternate are all missing in NBA 2k

 

1993-94 saw Denver abandon the beautiful Rocky Mountain Rainbow set for some rather bland ones used from 1993-2003. Most Nuggets fan prefer that set because of the 1994 playoffs. With the arrival of Carmelo Anthony in 2003-04 Denver went radical and made Carolina Blue their main color and was an improvement over the previous set. Denver made slight changes and went back to Navy under Nike. Current sets aren't any better than the 1993-2003 sets. They could do a rebrand with their City sets from 2019-2021.

 

1993-94 Milwaukee also switched from Kelly Green to Purple. The 1993-2005 sets were fair. They even brought back green in 1995 with infamous Green "Deer" uniform. Milwaukee went back to their original colors with their 2005-2015 set then went radical with their 2015-16 current set.

 

1994-95 Sacramento hopped on the purple haze movement and had several different looks to this day. They had bounced back and forth between purple as the "Icon" or black as the "Icon". I preferred their Red/White/Blue/Carolina look instead but to each their own.

 

1994-95 saw Cleveland jump on the 90's new wave of looks by going with Black and Columbia blue. For the 1998-99 campaign they took out the Columbia Blue and the uniforms were bland until the arrival of LeBron James with their 2003-10 look going back to original colors. The current Cleveland set for this coming season looks like G-League and practice jerseys.

 

1995-96 Saw Houston break away from their classic look for 90's pajamas with navy and pinstripes. In 2003-04 they went back to red but the 03-19 sets were pretty bland except for the Black alternate in 2016-17 which became the "Statement" in the new NIKE era. The 2019-20 current set was based off of their 2019 "Earned" uniform and was an improvement.

 

1995-96 saw Seattle rebrand from Green and Gold to Dark Green and take on a cartoon look. They did make the Finals but their 1995-01 look was bad but the 1999-2001 Red Alternate was slightly better. Seattle (along with Detroit) went with a fauxback of sorts to their classic 80's look. They remained until the move to Oklahoma City.

 

1996-97 saw Detroit break away from the Classic "Bad Boys" look to 1990's cartoon gimmick as Blue was replaced with Teal. They even had a red alternate from 1999-2001. They went back to traditional colors for the 2000-01 season. The had a dope red alternate in the mid 2000's but since the NIKE take over can't seem to get a proper "Statement" uniform.

 

1996-97 Minnesota took on a 1990's look and it was more popular than their inaugural 1989-1996 look. They finally made the playoffs after abandoning their classic look then rebranded in 2008-09 and then NIKE took over for the 2017-18 season and well.....

 

1996-97 saw Utah break away from the Jazz note and take on the mountains of Utah. Again depending on age, most prefer the 1996-2004 look over the classic 80's to mid 90's. Utah changed color schemes for the 2004-05 season and went back to tradition (sorta) when they brought back the Jazz note but Navy was the main color instead of purple. The new 2021-22 set is far worse than Cleveland's new set.

 

*side note the 1999-2004 Jazz Black alternate and 2006-10 Carolina Alternates are not in NBA 2k

 

1997-98 Saw the Bullets change to the bland Wizards. The 1997-2011 look was fair but didn't have the feel of the classic Bullets. Washing changed for the 2011-12 season buy going back to a fauxback Bullets look.

 

1997-98 saw the New Jersey Nets change color scheme to a bland set though they did make the Finals in 2002 and 2003 but mostly wore their gray uniforms. A red alternate replaced the gray and became the primary in 2007-08 and stayed until the move to Brooklyn. Now the Brooklyn uniforms..........................meh.

 

*side note the 1999-05 Nets Gray uniform is not in NBA 2k

 

1997-98 saw Golden State take on the 90's cartoon fade. They became popular due to their 2007 playoff performance but finally went back to their traditional Blue and Gold for the 2010-11 campaign and a dynasty was born.

 

1997-98 saw Indiana break away from their amazing 1990-97 look for their pinstripe set. They were ok and they made the Finals and some fans prefer that set over the classic previous set. The 2005-06 rebrand took place then the NIKE takeover happened in 2017-18 and Indiana still can't find an identity. They should base their Association and Icons on their Yellow Statement set.

 

1998-99 Orlando switched from the classic Shaq/Penny Hardaway look for some of the better late 90's 2000's sets. Then they went bland for the 2003-04 look but got slightly better with the 2008-09 rebrand. The current set is fair but their 1989-98 look is far better.

 

1992-93 Dallas switched from green to blue as the primary and then the 2001-02 rebrand came.

Thank you for watching NBA Uniform History! Tune in next week where we go even futher back -- the 1970s!

Denver has just unveiled their new Statement uniforms. As leaks suggested, it remains royal blue, but focuses more on yellow and red. Similar to previous Statement in theming, but a bit more colorful and distinct. I honestly think it's good, gives off Colorado/Denver flag vibes.

Hope these will look better on the court...the white background doesn't help it. The shorts are a little uninspired, but not awful.

This should be thier main color scheme. Forget the navy blue.

The royal blue and gold are light enough to evoke the 2000s set, while the red ties into the 90s set, and all three colors relfect the Colorado flag.
