ruttep Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It's a common complaint around here that the dozens upon dozens of alternates and City edition uniforms in the NBA have made it difficult to tell which team is which at times. What are some of the wackiest uniform matchups you've ever seen in the NBA, where one or both teams look nothing like their primary identity?

throwmesomepics Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 This has to be the worst one. The thunder had to switch to white jerseys at halftime Edit: I misinterpreted the prompt, both teams are close to their identities but this is definitely one of the "wackier" ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looked so out of place on their primary court. Wish they made a fauxback court with powder blue to match these jerseys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure, and hope, that changes with the Clippers in Inglewood now. Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

OnWis97 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I wonder if this is an unpopular opinion but I'd rather the court not change to match the alternate uniform. I prefer to see the primary look reflected on the floor, which "seems" more permanent than the laundry. 5 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

However, I do love a change that is reflective team's throwback jerseys. 1 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

dont care Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Is there such thing as a “weird” uniform matchup for the nba? At this point the only matchup that maybe weird now is if teams wear their traditional white at home and regular colored jersey on the road. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the home team should be able to run into the locker room and change to a different uniform. Did they play the game like this? All of it?

pelicanfan Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 as a pelicans fan and jersey nerd i will always remember this one (two toned cavs vs tricolor pelicans) or this one (purple green and gold striped pelicans vs purple black and gold lakers on a jarring navy pelican court) also honorable mention to any matchup that involves the away team looking more like the home team (ex: bulls wearing baby blue at home while playing rockets/raptors/blazers) 3 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they delayed the start of this game so the thunder could change into colored uniforms. I forget if they wore blue or orange that game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games where both teams dress wildly unusual colors make for some of the greatest uniform mismatches. Why this shyit sound like it was written by ChatGPT?
