elliott Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 It seems as though almost every team has one now, so I decided to do this:3 Best:Miami Heat: Loving the red, it just looks good on the court.Denver Nuggets: The script is a little weak, but the dark and light blue look great together.Phoenix Suns: Easily the best orange jersey in the league.3 Worst:Minnesota Timberwolves: The black speaks for itself - it just looks bad.Washington Wizards: I HATE this jersey! If any teams try to pull off different color shorts in the future, I hope it looks better than these!Golden State Warriors: It hurts my eyes...Notables:Good: Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas MavericksNot so good: Sacremento Kings, LA ClippersPossible good ones for the future:Memphis Grizzlies: A light blue one would be nice.

SmoothieX Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'll leave alternate throwbacks out of the mix.I agree on the Heat and Nuggets. I'm not a big fan of the suns orange. Something about the "PHX" and gray side panels don't do it for me.I agree on the worst unis, those look real bad. I also think the Sonics yellow looks pretty nasty. I don't think Chicago's black looks that bad, but after 10 years I still can't get used to it.I like Philly's red alts, NJ's isn't bad but I preferred the gray. Detroit's looks nice, Portland's not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The Suns uniforms in general really bug the crap out of me. I love the color scheme and the primary logo, but absolutely HATE the uniform style, and especially that stupid oval behind the front numbers.Lots of inconsistency going on there. (My pet peeve.)Here's some trivia most people don't realize:The Heat's alternates are a darker Red than the Red used in the logo and the home and road uniforms.They actually call those alts Maroon.

Frenchie Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Just as a suggestion, while I know it's possible for people to go about and search to find them, I always like it better when pictures of the shirts/logos critiqued are provided within a post, either directly in the post or as a link.Generally speaking I love ALTs, but I am not up to speed on NBAs.

BBM Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The Suns jerseys bug me because of the ridiculously wide side panels. I mean honestly. I actually like the Wizards and Mavs alts. I hate the Kings'. And the Nets' red jersey is pretty dumb, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Three best:Golden State Warriors-Should be the team's primary road jersey.Cleveland Cavaliers-Brilliant mix of past and present identities.Atlanta Hawks-For some unknown reason I love everything about this alt. Maybe it's the way they proportioned the black and red. Three worst:Sacramento Kings-they just pulled gold out of their a$$. On top of that the striping bugs me. Detroit Pistons-On its own it's a decent jersey, but for some reason the Pistons in red doesn't doesn't seem right to me. Minnesota Timberwolves-The alternate needs to be green, the black looks lifeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYMetropolitan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 No worst alternates list is complete without including the Wizards alternate. It may be the worst jersey in NBA history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtthasportfreak Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 What I miss about the Warriors jerseys was the lightning bolt going down the sides, for once an intimidating GSW jersey. In fact, I'll take that orange any day. The Clippers alternate jersey pays homage (or lack thereof) their road reds in the 80's when the front read "Los Angeles." The Trail Blazers wore red as the road color in the early 80's so I'm definitetly feeling that one. Phila's alternate is just awesome and keep it as such, but return blue as a road color. Their black, along with Minnesota's is blegh. This really should have been a run-on sentence, Dick Stockton style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyghtOwl Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 My favorite current alternates:Bobcats--the cadet blue (?) is a big improvement over that hideous orange.Cavaliers--the dark blue is classy with the gold and wine borders.Sixers--The Phila. red jersey--much better than their black unis.The Nuggets, Mavs and Celtics are all pretty neat.Ones I don't likeWarriors--should go back to the old blue and gold full-time and toss the "superhero."Nets--red unis. Ugh.Celtics--the black jerseys with green letters and numbers are just horrid.And I agree, the Bucks green "John Deere" uniforms were pretty revolting.

TruColor Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Celtics--the black jerseys with green letters and numbers are just horrid.Let's be clear about this - because I've seen this uni referred this way before - the Celtics' alts are GREEN with BLACK lettering...not the other way around: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on a related note, I really like the Celtics' St. Patty's day unis (with gold lettering). I really wish that was their alt instead of the black.

hecticbro Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Why do the Celtics even bother having more than one green jersey? It's hardly an alternate if all they do is change the color of the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I really enjoy the Sonics yellow jerseys, but cannot stand the Hornets yellows. The hornets jersey is too bright and for me does not relate back to their team identity enough. I know they worked in gold when they moved to NOLA, but the Hornets are teal and purple to me.
