SI Players Poll: Coolest NBA Uniforms

Recommended Posts

Oh, man, I'm such a geek for doing this, especially this soon, but I scanned the SI Players Poll from my most recent issue of Sports Illustrated (April 18 2005), that I received no less than an hour ago. I couldn't resist, because I'm sure it would generate some sort of reaction. Well, here is the scan (apologies if it's bad quality):

Very interesting stuff, here. Draw your own conclusions, keeping in mind that NBA players were polled. I would have honestly thought Cleveland would have at least been in the top five. I was actually surprised with the Lakers and Knicks. Oh well. What do ya'll think?

Yea, not trying to be a homer here, but it's quite perplexing that Cleveland didn't even get a single "cool" vote. Also, I'm kinda surprised the T-Wolves didnt get any votes, at least theyre uni's are different w/o being Charlotte different!

Love how the Mavs show up in the top five on both sides of that. :) And I definitely would have voted for Cleveland and/or Seattle in the "coolest" category.

I am suprised that the Cavs got NO cool votes.

I thought it was funny that Dallas was in both. I would put Dallas as #1 most overrated and top five ugliest.

More disturbing is where it says the Pacers won for best looking unis in an NBA.com poll. I mean.....the PACERS?!?!?!?!

We can thank Larry Bird for those nasty Pacers unis. They don't look NBA quality. Pinstripes? Are they trying to make a 6' guy look thinner?

Put me on the list who LIKE the Cavaliers unis and are surprised they are not on the list. They are clean and classy.

I can also see how the Heat and Nuggets are on the cool list. Especially the heat, with a well-balanced color scheme and good lines.

The FloJo uniforms were definitely the best. Very 90s, but like a lot of 90s NBA uniforms, it's what I (and probably many others) associate with the Pacers.

Knicks??

Where are the Sixers :P

Come to think of it, I've never really been impressed by the 76ers unis.

They should go back to the ones from the early Dr. J days.

If you are talking about the Lakers jerseys as being #1, they choose the right picture because the white Lakers jerseys are great. I love them. I usually like most teams away jerseys better than their home because they are a color and not just white, but the Lakers in white is a beautiful sight. I think the Cavs jerseys are nice too, although I am a Cavs fan so I'm biased. I love the Heat jerseys. They are really nice with the red and black.
