Warriors I guess receive Classic too as always. Sixers iirc are eligible for retro and there were rumors about Iverson uniform after Heck leave the office and I don't know let's say Hawks. What about main uniforms. Sixers, Suns and I wish Pacers ditched full name from front and replace them with wordmarks from 20/21 City and Earned.

(i know these pics are old but they're the best angle i could find of the shorts) speaking of the clippers though id really like to see them rehaul their jerseys too but i think they'll be saving that for their intuit dome season. my second prediction will go to the kings. i've always thought that they been due for a uniform change. a bit too much grey for my taste and their statement jerseys have always looked more like spurs jerseys to me. surprisingly none of them have been touched since the year nike took over and even then you can count the run time they had with adidas which i think adds another year or so) but anyways I think they could really capitalize off their recent success and go for a redesign, maybe even incorporate a beam motif and some more black to match with their court design more. (another old picture but its the only one i could find that showcases their three core jerseys. which are pretty much the exact same as they are now with a little less nike action as i mentioned earlier) as for a third prediction thats just anyones guess honestly. maybe be the pacers or wizards or something? maybe the pelicans? all three of their sets have been untouched since 2019 and that's only because the pacers had new statement jerseys come out that year. aside from that 8/9 of their jerseys have been untouched since the Nike 2017 season. and on top of that you can count the wizards and pelicans who've basically had the same design since 2011 and 2013 respectively. 4 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i know these pics are old but they're the best angle i could find of the shorts) The Suns' uniforms have become such a forgettable mess. None of their sets since moving on from the Nash era uniforms have been particularly good. They've muddled their primary color scheme with grey and black, they can's seem to stick with a style (sun burst, upside down/backwords word mark, bevels, gradients etc.). It's actually shocking that they've only had two overhauls in the last 10 years. I literally forget what their uniforms look like every time I see them because they are so forgettable and bland. At least when other teams destroy their visual identities there is a look that feels "right", I don't know what the Suns should be wearing at this point. 3 Quote Denver Nuggets Kansas City Chiefs Tampa Bay Rays Colorado Buffaloes Purdue Boilermakers Florida Gators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 after what happened with the Jazz, I have lost all faith in this league -- it's more focused on the "City" stuff than anything else, and it's same half assery is leaking into standard uni releases. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe unpopular, but I felt this set had the most potential since the Nash era. They could have incorporated purple more in the home and alternate, but it just felt like the best look. Call back to the Barkley era without being too out there. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just more purple, any purple at all. As I recall they were trying to exorcise purple entirely, and even the purple alternate ended up being a last-minute addition to the set I think. That and the unfortunate Adidas Sleeves era made this one dead on arrival, even though I agree with you and thought there was potential here. My Suns preferences are diagonals/sunburst over Old West motifs, and black third color over grey. (I'd also accept a full set with normal wordmarks using the aesthetic of their "Valley" City jerseys but maybe that ship has already sailed.) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanfan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 i think the leaked design is almost perfect honestly. its kinda got everything you need in a suns jersey honestly. good color balance (especially if you like black ) and a great callback to their iconic 90s design without being too busy. putting the suns wordmark inside the stripe is a really smart choice and good way to save space. my only thing though that the white jerseys should have the sun stripe filled in like the purple ones and that the numbers shouldnt be crooked. and im hoping the the shorts also look good 9 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The basic structure has it right but the colors are wrong. A black sun looks wrong any way you slice it, and the white one it gets a bit lost. Make the streak orange on both jerseys and we might be in business. (But, I thought it had been reported that those leaked designs were tossed aside? Wasn't expecting those to see the light of day in any hypothetical new look.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 as expected, the people on this board are top-notch when talking out predictions...so i'll say that all 3 teams that are changing new main uniforms have been mentioned since i made my original post. well done, all. as a (sad) freebie, i reluctantly report that my local Mavs are yet again not redesigning uniforms. sad times here in the DFW. 10 1 1 Quote Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For HWC...I have a weird feeling the Nuggets are on there... I don't think they've had a HWC jersey in the Nike era yet. 30 years since 93/94 8th seed miracle, 15 years since 2008/09 WCF. The navy 90s look seems ripe for a HWC. Speaking of 93/94, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockets' 90s red jerseys yet again for HWC even though they just wore them in 19/20.

ThunderCeltic Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I always enjoy guessing what the new city editions will be. As a hardcore baseball uniform traditionalist, I do tend to be more open minded on the NBA City editions. Hopefully the NBA will bring back the "Earned" edition in 2024. So for new "Statements".... OKC- Navy Indiana- Yellow Charlotte- Purple New Orleans- Red "City" sets Utah - Purple already leaked. A fauxback theme Brooklyn- Black, just leaked designed by lifelong Nets fan and New Jersey Native KAWS. Brooklyn again honoring local artists. Now the rest of the "City" sets Boston- Parquet Colored honoring Boston Garden and Bob Cousey Philadelphia- Navy version of 2022-23 set New York- White Pinstripes honoring the 1980's Toronto- Blue honoring the Huskies Milwaukee- Lime & Kelly Green honoring the 1980's Indiana- Yellow version of 2017-18 and 2019-20 set honoring the Indy 500 Detroit- Black honoring the Bad Boys era Cleveland -Navy another 90's mashup with 2010's colors Chicago- Carolina Blue Fauxback based on 90's alternate and 80's away lettering Miami- Crockett Blue version of the Ransom used in 2021-22 and 2022-23 Orlando- Gray 90's Fauxback Atlanta- White w/Blue honoring 50th Anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record Charlotte- Gold/Butterscotch version of 2020-21 & 2022-23 set honoring first US Mint Washington- Black honoring Joe Biden and wanting NBA fans to reelect him for 2024 Dallas- Green version of 2022-23 set honoring Reunion Arena San Antone- Will retain 2022-23 set Houston- Red version of the 75th Anniversary set used in 2021-2023 New Orleans- Dark Green version of 2022-23 set honoring Mardigras Memphis-Gold Team nicknamed "Grind City" Golden State -White version of 2022-23 set honoring feminism in the Bay Area Sacramento- Blue & Red Mashup fauxback of 90's Alternate Lakers- Carolina Blue honoring George Mikan Clippers- Red honoring Chris Paul-Blake Griffin era while still throwing shade at Lakers Phoenix- Black honoring Route 66 Portland- Teal version of 2022-23 set honoring the carpet at the Portland airport Minnesota-White w/Purple Pinstripes honoring the Vikings, Twins, and Hamm's Beer Denver- Red version of 2022-23 set honoring Denver's architecture OKC- Silver/Gray designed by OKC Native and Thunder fan Vince Gill similar to 2017-18 set designed by Garth Brooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
