I agree. They look okay as part of the overall uni, much better than that press conference photo did.

Now I know this wouldn't work a lot of the time because of the strong international presence on most teams, but wouldn't it be kind of cool to see the Boston Celtics become team USA? Hell, it would definitely put that whole WORLD CHAMPIONS crap to rest, and the idea of "Team" play worries would go right out the window :P

Then again, that'd have probably killed some of you Boston haters.

Wait, are you a Boston fan? Why would you want to see your team have absolutely NO offseason?

Also, because they'd get throttled by the international competition after playing an 82 game season plus 26 playoff games.

And here's a closer look at what exactly the "We the People" graphic (aka that stuff all over the backs of the jersey) looks like.

At least the fron of the unis will look good. It looks like SOD to me, but I'm not positive.

According to Nike's website, it is SOD. IMO this is the best it's ever looked on a team.

It's... not as bad as it first looked. I'd still rather do without the pattern on the back and the same colour names. But I'm liking the front, and the simplicity of the shorts.

After seeing these now I have come around a little bit. That back pattern is friggin great, but does not belong where it is. Most of it is lost behind numbers, side trim anyway. Without that, and the name problem, these do look pretty good overall. I would honestly consider buying one if KG or Pierce was on the team. In fact, I would be comfortable wearing a Howard, Paul, or Prince jersey. Again, not as bad as I thought.

Not sure if it's the same as the 'We The People' design but Nike did something simular with the US Track & Field qualifications in Eugene, OR and they look awesome!

It does look like the basketball teams' version of the graphic is on the back, but I believe the front uses a different graphic. Good find!

And is it just me, or do those track suits remind you of Zubaz?
