Billy B Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think the different colored jersey/shorts combo can work with the right colors, but it just doesn't look right with green and yellow. I was one of the few that actually liked the Wizards gold alts from a few years ago . And the Clippers throwback isn't a great design, but light blue and red is a great color combo. I'd love to see a team go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCheese Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I can't find an ABA picture with green shortsthe white shorts look awful. these grizz shorts are too long. im guessing the green/yellow looked a lot better when they wore short shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nope, all of the Tams' colour combos looks equally bad, regardless of shorts length.Those LA Stars unis are super-sweet, though. I'd love to see the Clips adopt an updated version of that full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So the next Memphis throwback jersey should be Memphis Sounds. Grizzlies already got Pros uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Next time, the Clippers should stick with their own franchise and trot out some old Buffalo Braves unis. More powder blue!Remember Bob McAdoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I really wanted to like this matchup last night...really tried....but just couldn't.The red "Los Angeles" script was hard to read against that shade of blue under certain lighting at times, I HATE basketball uniforms which have different colored tops and shorts, and the particular matchup in the grand scheme of things didn't look as great. I don't think the two schemes compliment each other well. Also, I was kind of bummed that the Clips got the Stars throwback, for two reasons: 1) They really should consider wearing the San Diego baby blues or the McAdoo-era Braves blues (I know they weren't ABA sets, but they were better sets), and 2) if any team should don a Stars throwback, it should be Utah. The Stars are much more appreciated and are a bigger part of "local lore" here than in L.A. If it weren't for the Stars and thier championship here, the Jazz wouldn't be here. Thus, I think it would have been more fitting for Utah to have nodded to the Stars than the Clippers. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Memphis looked like a rec league team. The Clippers? The colors weren't bad but the uniforms were nothing special. Let's hope this was a one and done for both looks. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I love the ABA. I'm excited NBA teams are wearing ABA throwbacks this year. But not those uniforms last night...ugh.The Tams' Grizzlies uniforms look okay in the original pictures. They don't work with the current uniform cut - specifically the shorts design. The jersey itself looks great. The shorts ruin it.The Stars Clippers may be the ugliest uniform I've ever seen worn in an NBA game. It looks like the cheap jersey knockoffs that just say "Los Angeles" or "New York" on the front with a number... like this:They're bland, the colors don't mesh... ugh.

NoHighSchoolUnisPlease777 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The uglier the uniforms, the more people seem to like them! NFL teams SHOULD NOT be allowed to wear their uniforms the way the Seattle Seahawks wear theirs! This isn't high school and college! I recall back in the mid 90's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted to wear the all orange "Buco-Bruce" uniforms and the NFL told them NO! 20 of the 32 NFL teams have done this and I wish this commissioner would put a stop to it! I really hope NIKE doesn't screw up the uniforms! Reebok really did a HORRIBLE job with the uniform jersey's. Teams with jersey designs like the Colts and Jets look horrible! Northwestern stripes on jersey's are also horriblie! They are on the shoulder pads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henburg Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I am also a fan of the ABA throwbacks that teams havebeen wearing this season. The Clippers look great in light blue and the Memphis jersey is awesome, it's just that the shorts that ruined it. They reminded me of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's a "GB" memorial patch for Gene Bartow, who died in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETROJR79 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I likle the Clippers throwback when I first saw it on NBA 2K12 I thought it was a fake jersey and the Grizzlies should stick with the Pros uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
