Yah, the flooding of jerseys is just ultimately making them all meaningless novelties. I loved when certain jerseys stuck around long enough to be associated with certain eras of a particular team.

If I say Vince Carter Raptors jersey, I guarantee a particular jersey instantly comes to mind.

Iverson sixers jersey, Ray Allen Bucks jersey, Gary Payton Sonics jersey, Nash Suns jersey, etc., same thing.

What the fuck is an Edwards Wolves jersey? A Giannis Bucks jersey?

That’s not even mentioning how outright ugly and uninspired the majority of new designs are.

100%.

But they gotta keep that merchandise revenue flowing, you know?

I hated that decision from day one. Absolutely idiotic and we’ve lost some of the best jerseys ever because of it.

This year and next the Hawks are just going back to the well and bringing back some of the best-sellers from the last 8 years.

I say good. Put the league on an MLB like rotation where you get one really nice design every 3 years (10 teams a year, do two divisions a year or whatever)

Peachtree, MLK, and retro baby blue throwbacks (not the “fly together” times new Roman ones from 2-3 years ago) are the only ones that have mattered. The rest were desperate attempts at something. Most franchises could say the same, I’m sure.

I mean it works in soccer, they keep the same theme for the home jersey with slight tweaks, while experimenting with the away and alternate kit. I think the downside is that when they make an iconic jersey like the cherry blossoms, it never comes back

i agree to an extent. i do think they’re absolutely making too many jerseys. though i think the concept of making one new jersey each year isn’t the problem itself. if teams just stayed consistent with their main set, i would have no problem releasing a fun little city edition every year. the problem is, there are teams are changing their entire uniform sets (so that’s already 2-3 jerseys being changed) and then there’s teams doing throwbacks. add city editions that everyone has to do and teams are having up to 5 new jerseys each year.

not to mention the absolute inconsistency within the main sets already. teams have 3 core jerseys, but recently the third “statement” jerseys started being more like alternates, rotating every few years.

so there are some teams that could literally have 2 regular jerseys and like 3 totally random jerseys. i remember the pistons had a throwback jersey on top of a city edition jersey on top of a statement jersey that looks nothing like their main 2. if only 2 of your jerseys resemble anything like your current brand then we’ve got a problem

There’s something to be said for the iconic ones.

But I do like some of the alternates and throwbacks. But some are definite failures.

*Antawn

I remember those and didn’t like them then. But they are better than the current ones and less office supplies looking

Should call themselves the Bullets

The cherry blossoms are nice, and I like their teal uniforms from the Arenas years.

Red, white, and blue is such a stale color scheme, and it does nothing to evoke wizardry.

I am still beating the drum to coopt everything from our G League team with the best name in all of north american sports: the Capital City Gogo (for those not in the know, gogo is a music genre extremely representative of the DC area).

DC Predators

I still can’t figure out what that logo at center court is. It looks like it says DMV

EDIT: After exhaustive research and numerous downvotes, I have discovered that they do say DMV

i used to hate it but it grew on me

It looks like when I meant to print something in color but sent it to black-and-white printer instead

to represent the color of the air in an average salt lake city winter.

Dallas has some of the worst uniforms and branding overall and no one talks about it

These ones?

OP specifically asked about this season. You’re talking about one they wore for 1 season like 5 years ago, right?

I agree with you about the colors. The reason it says Peachtree is because the most famous street in Atlanta is Peachtree Street, famous to the point where there are now 71 streets in the Atlanta metro area that have “Peachtree” in the name. So many that it can be confusing at times.

That’s crazy, the peachtrees might by my all time favorite. Color looks great in person

I hate the main Hawks unis though 

Peachtree is something anybody from Atlanta would recognize, this is why the city jerseys are for people from the city lol

They changed the name for some pretty dark reasons though.

give the Wizards name to the Las Vegas team, if that ever happens after Seattle.

If the Wizards go back to being Bullets, they should, at the very least, bring back Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for the reveal.

They’re just a worse version of “the town” jerseys we had in the KD days

Would make more sense if you played in the Staples Center

Same for when I see that H-Town one on the Rockets. Makes me think of hemorrhoids.

My wife says “ewww gross” every time she sees those jerseys

it’s like dying a sepia death

Make them the standard jerseys!

These ones? I don’t like the New Balance logo on them https://i.imgur.com/nf2mVHX.jpeg

BTW the color scheme is from back when the Clippers were the Buffalo Braves https://i.imgur.com/CGgh0YU.jpeg

Honestly they’d look better if they were more like that

You mean the New Balance looking jerseys? https://i.imgur.com/C5i1T36.jpeg

Those are based on when they were the Buffalo Braves. Ironically, I think the Braves ones look better https://i.imgur.com/xo3FJ7k.jpeg
