McCall Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Why are they wearing their away blue at home tonite rather than white? Yet Milwaukee is in their away greens ...Thats not the away, thats the HWC JerseyBeyond the intrigue of watching Carmelo play his first game for the Knicks, that was a beautiful (uniform-wise) game to watch. It wasn't perfect, but it just shows how much the late 1990's screwed up the identity of most teams.how long until color v. color becomes the norm?Not anytime soon considering the league as a mandate that all "designated home" uniforms must be white.

rmackman Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What era are these HWC's from? It's not exactly the mid-90s. Look:HWC Uniform1990s John StarksThe logo on the shorts is a little different. Must be 80s. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

Must be 80s.1990-1992 uniforms are the "throwbacks", which they screwed up; the NOB should be vertically arched, which it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The one thing I don't like about old Knicks uniforms is that orange is the base color instead of blue on the home whites. I love the orange against blue on the road, but royal blue is a far better base color than orange with a white uniform.What about the current uniforms?I'm no expert, but I can't remember the last time they used blue numbers. Not since the 1950s? My memories are all with orange being the primary color. Even when they dabbled in red and blue, blue was the secondary color at home. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

The_Admiral Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The current uniforms have additional problems. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah, but if your objection to the Knicks' uniforms is "too much orange", you have to go way back to avoid that.For the record, I'd be okay with that.

andrewharrington Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The black really pops.And makes the uniform look terrible. We can always count on you being the counter-voice of reason.

JQK Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Would like to see them simplify, and go to something like this as a logo. Slap this on the shorts of the early 90's uniform & midcourt? To me, that's a winner. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Double orange -- I like it. Seriously, that looks very nice. Someone else here had a similar concept in white that didn't look bad either. Both removed the superhero-ish shadow and cleans the whole thing up quite well. Simplifying makes sense to me.

tBBP Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I guess I don't have the same aversion to black trim as most of you do--I don't mind it at all in the Knicks' set, nor did I mind it in the Mets' uniform scheme...before they went overboard with it. That said, the uniform in that picture of John Starks posted above utilizes too much black i.e. the sidepanels are too wide. This may be the inner Batman fan in me speaking, but whenever I think of "Gotham City" (which for some reason the Knicks uniforms remind me of), I think of nighttime. Royal blue = night sky, meaning the black could equate to shadows. Don't know if this is making sense (once again, I'm drugged up), but just figured I'd toss that out there. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc, i get the "NYC at night" thing, but i just don't think it clicks. just my humble opinion.still wondering about the validity of modell's claims, too. anyone have any further info on that? did some checking with some people that may be in the know, but haven't turned anything up yet.
