Kind of looks like ours. But imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Quote
“Things go in cycles, and people want to do things that are radical and new,” Richardson said of the ill-fated 1990s NBA jersey movement. “But when the marketing moved away from representing the game, the sport and the athlete – and moved toward what will sell on a trash can to a 10-year-old – people started chasing trends.

“We had to reach a point where we said, ‘Wait a minute, kids don’t admire the NBA because they want a cartoon on a trash can. They look up to these players and want to play this game at a high level.' That’s what we need to tap into. We try not to be impacted by trends.”

"pelicans" would have fit better across the front and therefore looked better but whatever  at least they dont look horrible.

Remind me of my old AAU uniforms. They should've had the logo. It actually looks good, which I was surprised about when I heard they were called the Pelicans.

Considering the less-than-intimidating nickname and the questionable color scheme, these unis look decent—clean and simple, kind of a classic look a lá Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn mode was modeled after the Celtics.

Lol... how did you figure they looked like ours?  You mean in like... the sense that they are basketball jerseys?

I love their new logo, but these uniforms are incredibly bland.

Wow...

When Brooklyn uni's were revealed I thought they were the most boring looking uniforms I had seen in years, and with Black/White being the only colours I thought they were pretty ugly as well (too much contrast). 

Now Pelicans have made something even more bland looking. When I first saw the pic of the dark uniform I thought it was a pic introducing one of the new Memphis rookies or signings...until I looked closer and realised it was actually a new NO uniform. 

Poor move.  Not distinguishable at all. Zero image.

Didn't matter what they did we all want the New Orleans Jazz name and  uniform back.  Give me some vintage pistol pete for that matter!

Love the logo, it saves the nickname.

Very dignified.

I don't know if any uniforms can have enough dignity to rub off on the goofy Pelicans name, but nice.
