chakfu Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Those Houston alternates look awful. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad if they didn;t have the yellow side panel and were therefore a bit closer to the actual red/yellow rockets unis.i've wanted the rockets to return to yellow ever since they went to those pajama jerseys, but i have to agree with you... something seems "off," but I can't pinpoint it... maybe the white outlining the yellow, since they're both lighter colors?The thing that's off is the fact the only yellow on the "classic" Rockets jerseys only fairly subtle trim, and the only think these jerseys really throwback to is the jerseys of forgettable 1970s Rockets.Interesting thing is that the comments section seems attuned to this, but the boards are pining for the days of Rudy T and Calvin Murphy rather than Hakeem.Funny thing is, those action pics look a little bit better than I thought they would.

Discogod Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The only thing that I can even think to argue with that the Mark Price era jerseys aren't anything short of fantastic is the logo, everything else is great, colors, layout, simplicity, all fantastic. The logo could use some work, but it was a 90's logo...Not to get all anal, but that logo was introduced in 1983... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah, the Cavs logo from the '90s is actually even worse. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhans203 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I love that the Magic's throwback even has the gold NBA logo from the 50th anniversary season. THAT is attention to detail. It?s not the 50th Anniversary NBA logo, it?s the Hardwood Classic NBA logo.Now THAT is attention to detail. I was going to point that out too. But but but but but but but but wait, I thought that the Hardwood Classic logo was the NBA logo with a bit of a dark fade to it (the red is a little maroon, the white is creamish, & the blue was navy)...guess I was wrong. Still looks nice, though.What you are describing is the Hardwood Classic logo, which is different from the 50th Anniversary NBA jersey logo you mentioned. That logo was a shiny gold outline of the NBA logo without any red or blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I like when the road team is forced to wear white unis with their black road shoes/socks. I wish more teams wore black with the homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The good....Those Magic uniforms are awesome. The current set needs to take more cues from them, specifically the stars on the shorts. A Pistons-esque update of the original set would give them some of the best looking uniforms in the league. The bad....The Rockets' current identity with gold in place of silver has been tried, and it looks terrible. The Rockets currently have one of the simplest and iconic logos/uniform sets in the NBA. Hopefully this less then pleasant experiment with the old colours will make them and the fans calling for a return to the boring old set realize that. The ugly....On aesthetics alone, those Cavs throwbacks aren't as bad as the Rockets' alternates. When taken into context, however, they are much, much worse. The Rockets' alt may seem awful compared to the primaries, but at least it retains the same general brand. The primary colour is the same, and the same font and logo is used. It does succeed in tying itself to the existing identity. The Cavs throwbacks, however, fail at this. They're from a period in the team's history when they had a completely different (and much worse) visual identity then they do now. While the colours and logo kind of work, even if it's in a sort of knock-off Knicks way, they just don't hold a candle to the existing "primary" set (which includes the primary alternate, a term that makes my head hurt). It would be one thing if this was a one season thing to celebrate an anniversary. While it is the team's 40th anniversary this isn't a one-season occurrence or the only "alternate" they've trotted out. The Cavs, despite having one of the best visual identities in the NBA, have felt the need, for seasons now, to dilute their brand with numerous throwbacks in a single season, plus a wide variety of pointless fauxback special event jerseys (didn't they make up a throwback a season or two ago to celebrate a new official message board or something?). A team should have three sets of uniforms, at most. A home, road, and alternate. The alternate can be a throwback if the team decides so, but they can only have one, and they can only wear it a limited amount of times. If the team opts not to make the alternate a throwback, then throwbacks should be restricted to seasons when a big anniversary is celebrate or an old player is honoured. Again, this is tragic because the primary set (whine road, white home, navy primary alternate, uggg) is very, very good, and looks amazing when worn as intended.

powersurge Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 And second, did the Cavs really want to show the world Lebron in blue and orange? Idiots.As a Knick fan, I just sorta squinted and imagined for a while.LMFAO!I think all Knicks fans are squinting along with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadmanLA Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Outside of the most obvious (the numeral font), and some subtle differences (like a darker blue for Cleveland), the 1989-94 Cavs roads and the Knicks old road blues pretty much look the same.

Back in those days most NBA teams had similair uniforms.A few differences here are:- Cavs have 3 colored collars, Knicks have 2.- Waist bad is different.- Player name is different style.- Knicks have side inserts on the shorts- Knicks have logo on shortsBut yeah, definetely very similair.

jimbojohnny56 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Maybe it's just me but I hate the Cavs current unis and love those 80's versions. Maybe it's because thats the era I grew up watching basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
