Favorite Basketball Uniforms

[dfwabel]

Here's a correspondant at The Bleach Report's take on the matter

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/59633-top-10-nba-jerseys-of-all-time

Did you read the bio on the "correspondent"? Bleacher Report is open-source so anyone can call themselves anything and be poor writers. He will never in at any "correspondent" level like Christiane Amanpour.

As for uniforms, both are from college.

Since it, like Marquette around the same time, was to be worn with the jersey untucked.

This Iowa uniform was designed to appear untucked.

Some that would be expected, some that are a little more off the wall.

(I know there's a lot of love for the City stuff, but give me Run TMC any day)

every time I see them I think of this

OK, I've been lurking here for months and It's time I said something, it's incredible you old guys can give jerseys like the Celtics, Bulls and Lakers props when they look like High School uniforms, they're old and low tech, they didn't even have decent computers back then, we were essentially in the stone age as far as design is concerened. There's a reason eweryone wore jerseys in the 90s; they looked good. There's a reson no one does today; they don't. The 90s were the golden age for NBA jerseys, they were interesting, they were bold, they were good looking.

There's so many sqaure guys out there that just want the same boring stuff over aqnd over and over again.

An eBay link to prove people DO want this jersey.

The native american trim on these jerseys is FIRE. I REALLY want an authentic jersey and pair of shorts.

Home or away.

Any of the three from this suns set.

Looked really good with the 50th anniversary logo.

For the record I was born in 88, I'm sure some wise guy will comment on that insulting my generation for enjoying visually interesting unifoms.

There are times and places for progressive designs, and times and places for simple ones. You can't vote straight-ticket on this.

No, dude that old school Raptors ones are awesome. I like the 90s uniforms because they were unique, that being said, I was one of the few people who liked the PHX Coyotes third green jersey.

Let me guess, you were born in the 90's?

Because that would be the only logical explanation for you liking a uniform that makes literally EVERY magazine/website/blog's list of "Worst NBA Uniforms of All-Time" ... I mean that Raptors uni is basically universally ridiculed.. I don't understand how you can sit here with a straight face a claim you like it unless you're a 90's kid and you wax nostalgic over its ugliness.

You know what? You're 122 posts in, and you're already a completely condescending jackass.

Kill the attitude, sport. And quit posting that :censored:ing Clippers jersey in every thread.

[LouieDogsTheGenocideGenera]

^Well when will we get another interesting design?

Edit: @ the admiral.

[Lee.]

you old guys can give jerseys like the Celtics, Bulls and Lakers props when they look like High School uniforms, they're old and low tech, they didn't even have decent computers back then,

Edit: @ the admiral.

I dunno. Seems like the NFL is churning out strange modern uniforms every year. Buffaslug was interesting.

You are not a lurker when you join today and now give us your Hot Sports/Sportlogo Opinion. If you joined six months ago but failed to remark, I would call you a lurker, but you have no designation now except for new member.

Some of the jerseys you posted are quiet good especially the Hawks and suns one but who said jerseys have to be high tech? Im 20 and celtics, lakers and bulls imo have one of the best jerseys out there. They are simple I'll give you that but they are the best simple jerseys one could make + they have history which makes them even more special to look at.

Lack of crazy designs =/= high school jerseys

Btw people wearing jerseys in the 90's had more to do with hip hop's rising popularity than with new designs.

They didn't, you can't design decent graphics without a computer, you just place plain letters that read "eltics" or "Bulls" and then people will like them because the teams are winners.

Age:40 years old

Raptors red since 2007

Raptors red? Really? that's as standard as they come, they tossed a great color scheme out the window to become another red/black team.

I've been reading for 6 months, whether I was registered and not posting or I wasn't registered either way I wasn't posting and was reading, same thing.

Hip-Hop would have never adopted jerseys as a staple if they were still boring like the 80s styles.

You only like the Celtics Lakers and Bulls because they're legacy franchises, just like everyone just happens to love having the yankees logo on their head. History makes something better looking?

Are you by any chance familiar with the pencil?

[LouieDogsTheGenocideGenera]

^Yes, not as useful as a computer, plus these designers back in the day were just boring white men I'm sure, just like this board is filled with, I can say that BTW, I'm white.

[Discogod]

Getting back on topic...

These jerseys may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but they're my personal favourites for a number of reasons:

(not shown: the awesome shorts with the nautical flags spelling "Clippers"

[LouieDogsTheGenocideGenera]

^The rainbow jerseys are mad aesthetically pleasing.

I assume you mean the NHL, right? Unless you're calling the Bills' logo Buffaslug Senior.
