I kind of dig them.

I think they are absolute fire.


Wish the Celtics jersey design team had anything to bring to the table. Clunker after clunker.

Ever is a long time.  I suggest going back in history and looking at some of the uniforms, don't look at the short shorts though.  hahaha

One that comes to mind are the Washington Bullets striped ones.   ::)




The poo brown Wizards jersey is going to be hard to top, but never count out Cleveland:


The miracle stripes in gold was also awful:
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

I'm confused, are we posting good jerseys or bad jerseys, because these are not bad jerseys!



Not really a fan of those Heat jerseys, but not appalled by them either (if anything, I'm confused why the whole Miami Vice thing is still so popular, but do understand the sense of style linked to that show). Think they'll kind of go the way of the classic Houston Astros or Denver Nuggets jerseys, where you look back and they really stand out, but perhaps were more products of their time than completely ugly.

Not sure if they're the worst ever, but they're pretty dang bad. Unless "cancer awareness" is involved, pink should never be a uniform color in a men's professional sports league (sexist? maybe. but that's how I see it). The regular "Miami Vice" unis are bad—I grew up in the '80s, love a lot of things about that decade, but the color schemes and fashion choices are not among them—but these are worse. It looks like someone spray-painted pink across one half of a blue uniform, or spray-painted blue across one half of a pink uniform.

But then, I already despise the Heat, and this helps me despise them more, so maybe, in a weird way, these unis are a good thing.

Edit: I meant to add that these are right up there (or right down there) with all of those wretched late-'90s uniforms that had all kinds of oversized graphics and color gradients, like many of the unis in this image:



And since someone else brought up '70s uniforms, I'll add that I much prefer those, as they had many more traditional elements than the late-'90s unis or these "Miami Vice" ones.

Cotton candy theme, apparently.

I actually like the Vice uniforms for the most part, but the gradient is not my favorite.

Well, the reason I said "maybe" is not that I view pink strictly as a "girl" color, but that pink (IMO) just doesn't look good on sports uniforms. Men's polo shirts? Sure. But not sports unis.

As a previous poster as noted, these jerseys are relevant to anyone who watched Miami Vice in the 80s. That is, probably 12% of the NBA-watching public.

Ah ... they have that ice-cream sherbert look to them, to help deal with the hot days in Miami ...

But they can not possibly ever top these legendary unis, in all their popsicle goodness:

Having been a late teenager, early twenties guy when fluorescent color became the rave for the under 30 crowd in the 80's.....I think they're hot. Straight fire.

An old wrestling fan here and I loved the Pink and Black Attack that was Bret "The Hitman" Hart and the Hart Foundation. They proved you could make a great looking uniform using pink and black and I am sure the right NBA team could make it work.
