Never thought I'd say it, but...

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

It's a shame that NFL teams must have a road white away jersey. I wish the Miami Dolphins could be given the LA Lakers treatment with 2 colored jerseys.

These two jerseys have the potential to create quite a few beautiful color VS color match-ups. Plus, that bright orange just seems perfect for Miami/South Beach.

I like it too (except I want the aqua jersey to be the home jersey).

Yellow is a far different from Miami's dark orange.

Imagine Miami at KC ... or Miami at SF, wearing that dark orange against bright red ... that'd be a visual nightmare.

I remember when Golden State's home uniforms were yellow too. Was hoping they'd bring it back when they went back to the tweaked retro look last season.

I wouldn't rule that out. I bet the Warriors bring that in as an alternate sometime in the future

Go A's!

The Warriors tried to use gold home jerseys when they rebranded prior to last year but the league said no. I would bet they'll introduce a gold alternate after this year and they wear it at home pretty often

As far as the thread goes, just about every NBA alternate

Every Skins fan should agree on these. (**) I'm suprised Reebok still sells and price these jerseys like we still wear them in our current set. Oh well it wont matter after the draft later on.

As far as uniforms go:

The Texans should go with this as their primary; that way, as far as Texas goes, the Cowboys can be the navy blue team while the Texans can be the red team. That and all their divisional rivals, save for the Jaguars, are one shade of blue or another. The red pants with these, IMO, is quite possibly my favorite monochrome look in the NFL*.

*Provided that the all-red remains an alternate.

Staying with red, I don't know why, but I like looks for (other color)/red teams that primarily uses red like this. That and the Bucks are one of the few current green/red teams in North American pro sports. Lose the beveling on the "Milwaukee" font and the triangle behind the antlers/ball logo and it's perfect.

I normally don't like black alternates when the team in question introduces black to their color scheme (i.e., Mets, early-2000s Royals, Lions, Eagles), but with the rampant use of various shades of blue in the NBA*, the Pesky Wolves (as Jazz fans call them) could be an exception and stand out more by wearing their black uniforms. Of course, I think that they should've gone the black/green route (maybe lime green), but this alternate looks good.

*Most notably the Green and Athletic Gold Sonics becoming the Thunder and making their main color a nearly identical (if not, the same) shade of blue, though I can understand why.

Speaking of Athletic Gold and Green, this is a beauty. I wished that the A's went all-out gold (pants and maybe even hats), but the A's are far more identifiable with these than their previous BFBS looks as well as their green alternate tops*.

*Though I have nothing against the green tops, but with much of Major League Baseball still using dark-colored uniforms, it just doesn't stand out.

An unpopular opinion around here, I'm sure, but I like how Colorado has used old-school-looking jerseys for their alternates, and with a few tweaks (mainly, a hem stripe), this could be great. Still, it is the best jersey the Avs currently wear, as their primary set is one of the worst in the NHL.

Yuck! I'm a Redskins fan, and I hate those uniforms with a passion. I find nothing about it appealing.
