CAB Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Alright, after these next three I'm going to start working backwards alphabetically to avoid posting the same teams as SFGiants58 in his thread. DENVER NUGGETSThe major change here was a switch from athletic gold (I hate that term, it's just yellow) to a more vegas gold. It would make sense for the Nuggets to adopt this color because they're named for gold nuggets after all. Also, it's not a color used primarily by any other team. I think the obvious choice for the uniform design was to have a design similar to their yellow fauxback alternates they've been wearing recently. I moved the wordmark above the mountains and moved the numbers down to be right-aligned because I think that looks more natural on a basketball jersey. The alternate also features a mountain design, this time on the shorts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DETROIT PISTONSThe Pistons' home uniform is one of my favorites in the NBA, so I kept the same look for the most part. I did add the striping to the shoulders, a la the Oklahoma Sooners. The road uniform is slightly different in that it features two red stripes rather than one red and one white. I changed the 'DETROIT' script to white so it's more legible and the jersey isn't so red-heavy. I kept the Motor City wordmark on the alternate, but I wanted the uniform to at least have one other automotive element, hence the tire track design on the side panels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOLDEN STATE WARRIORSAgain, I kept the same basic elements from their current uniforms, but changed the side panels from yellow to blue, and made the bridge design more prominent on the shorts. I got rid of the sleeved alternate (yikes) with the awful half-pinstripe look. I made a center logo that gives a nod to the 70s/80s unis with a California state outline. Next up will be Washington. I won't be posting as many at a time because all my previous concepts were already completed when I started the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidellias Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The Cav's uni should have an accent of blue, or the logo needs to havbe the blue removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Excellent start! Some minor critiques:- For some reason, the side panels on the Nets' jerseys terminate differently from the ones on the shorts.- The Bulls' road needs a "Chicago" wordmark.- I think you could do without the side stripe on the Cavaliers' shorts, just have the trim at the bottom.- The Mavs' home needs a "Mavericks" wordmark. The shade of green you used should also be darkened a bit.- The Nuggets' road needs a "Denver" wordmark.- The shoulder stripes on the Pistons' home and road are a bit too distracting.Overall, though, this is a great series so far.

I know basketball uniforms traditionally have mirrored designs on shorts and jerseys, but rather than mirroring them, I just used the same identical design which was intended to have the look of a basketball net hanging down (with the exception of the horizontal stripe on the shorts). In hindshight, it would probably look better to close off the design on the jersey to match the shorts. The Bulls traditionally have 'BULLS' on both jerseys, and that wasn't something I wanted to change, but I will admit that I forgot to change the wordmark on both Dallas and Denver. I will update both of those, along with the Nets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatskwurl29 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The warriors alternate is beautiful, but I'd make the circle and california outline blue, like the original http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/x1luf2wgklgjh4h9emhezhxg9/Golden_State_Warriors/1972/Home_Uniform, because I don't think white stands out enough on yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 WASHINGTON WIZARDSI had a tough time deciding what colors to use for Washington. I think their most recent rebrand was a little lazy and just another part of the retro/fauxback bandwagon in the NBA. The uniforms aren't terrible, but it just feels like a forced mixing of eras. I wanted to get rid of the blue and red, but I wasn't a huge fan of their former color scheme either. I did like their old black and gold alternate, except for the mismatching shorts and jersey. I think gold fits the whole magic/wizardry theme better than blue and red. I also kept the three stars from the gold uniform as a nod to the city's flag. And the alternate is obviously inspired by the Washington Monument.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UTAH JAZZThis is another one where I wasn't sure what colors to use. And their current uniforms are another example of, like the Wizards, a lazy retro rebrand. I think the Stockton-era unis were probably their best look, if not for being a little too 90s. So I wanted to adapt that look onto a modern template, without gradients. I originally tried out a forest green and light blue color scheme, which looks pretty nice, but I think purple is even better. My only concern is a similarity to the Hornets, but I don't think that should be a problem. I know I bashed on the retro look, but I do like the old-school "Jazz" wordmark, so it found it's way onto the alternate uniform. I may post the Raptors later today.

davidmiller5 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Why go with the green outline on the Jazz' alternate instead of dark blue? If you want to incorporate green, add it elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 TORONTO RAPTORSToronto has probably one of my favorite uniforms in the NBA currently, and I think red and black suits them well. Purple would be an interesting addition, but I decided to keep it out of this concept. However, I did add a bronze color as an accent in place of silver. I kept the chevron design on the side panels, but got rid of the butt-stripe. The alternate incorporates the jagged pinstripes from their early uniforms and also includes the wordmark taken from the primary logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 you should have used a honeycomb thing on the hornetsThere is on the alternate uniform.I love the Jazz one! maybe change the light blue to green and gold as they fit though. Just my opinion. That doesn't sound like a bad idea, I may try out a green and gold color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Disappointed in myself for missing this thread, but all of these are amazing!My only gripe is that it seems that the Alternate jerseys HAVE to use the same colours as the Home/Away's do. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the Raptors Alternate. A Purple/Black with Red trim is needed badly - especially with the 20th Anniversary Jerseys next year.
