rebelx Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I thought this might be a fun little exercise: why don't people on this board cite stuff that bothers them about various NBA uniforms from the past or present. I'm just curious to know what kind of gripes people have with different sets. I'll contribute my own later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFriedRice Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm rather disgusted by the fact that the Laker Girls have to wear uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I don't like how teams wear their alts and throwbacks TOO DAMN MUCH. I understand why they do it (to sell more jerseys) but it completely lacks continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Washington Wizards. Bring back the Bullets! Also I don't like the fact that the Nets dropped their silver alts for red ones. The red ones are nice, but the silver looked great and was also unique.

TheOldRoman Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Heat jerseys bother me. First of all, I loved the original Heat design, and this garbage Nike template design pales compared to it.However, the biggest problem with the Heat jerseys is the fabric. When the players start to sweat, the jerseys change colors. This is most apparent with the red jerseys. By the middle of the second quarter, it looks like the jerseys are burgundy. If they are going to use the shiny material, they should at least use one that doesn't show sweat as much, like the one the Bulls use.Also, teams having a logo on the back of the neck pisses me off.

The_Admiral Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Shiny baggy vests instead of, y'know, basketball jerseys.I prefer matte fabric that's actually shaped correctly. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflava Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Heat jerseys bother me. First of all, I loved the original Heat design, and this garbage Nike template design pales compared to it.Actually, the Heat have some of the best uniforms in the league IMO. For all of Nike's unforgivable sins, I have to say that I really like the wishbone jerseys a LOT more than tank tops. This, to me, is the perfect storm of bad NBA design elements coming together...

impulsive106 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets: horribly cutHouston Rockets: shiny fabricSeattle SuperSonics: shiny fabricDenver Nuggets: shiny fabricCharlotte Bobcats: shiny fabricI don't have a problem with the V-necks, just Reebok's version of them. I think Nike did a much better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mexico Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Too many teams using the Navy/powder blue color scheme. Okay, when Dallas did it that was fine. But Memphis and Utah, what's your excuse?

BigShoop Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I, for one, love the logo on the back of the neck.gripes:- stop with all the black jerseys already.- stop with all the pastel colors already.- stop with all the red, white, and blue all ready. gimme something original.- stop with all the throwbacks. there's a REASON they dont wear them anymore: they sucked.- v-necks are stupid.- wide shoulders are stupid.- any tight fabric on the arms and/or legs is stupid. you look like a fool. stop.- why does 80% of the designs look interchangeable? you could switch the colors and have the same uniform.

SmoothieX Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 A consistent color of shoes. If I see one more white shoes/white sock team at home that wears black shoes/black socks on the road, I will flip.Also, when the playoffs come around, do something cool. Black shoes, headbands, shaved heads, all alts. SOMETHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black shoes, headbands, shaved heads, all alts. SOMETHING! i konw one thing, I like when the Nets break out red socks for home playoff games...but I'm with ya on the shoes/socks thing. socks should be a team color or white (preferably with some sort of striping), it drives me crazy when I see teams who don't use any black, like the Bucks or the Nets, in black socks.

LMU Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I can't stand it when a home team decides to wear the alt, forcing the visitors to break out the home unis on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Denver did that too. Though the yellow is the predominate 2ndary colory in both road jerseys, the road unis are Sky Blue or the alternates of Navy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The nba is half the league it used to be, i watch espn classic games from the 80's and oh my...so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemFins Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Wide shoulders and logos above the player name is what bother me the most. Oh yeah, can't forget about having the team name smack dab in the middle of ones ass crack. I never did get that one. Anyway, I have a bigger problem with NFL's newer jersies than I do with the NBA uni's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
