That new logo is hideous.  Reminds me of a boxy version of the Chicago Cubs logo, but a million times more ugly. 

I'm glad that we're unlikely to ever alter our original Celtics logo and uniform (I hope?).  I do like the white and green home jerseys that say "Boston" on the front instead of "Celtics" as an alternative though. 

Glad I'm not a Clippers fan.

Ugly. The two jerseys on the left kinda look like some All-Star game jerseys. Bland, nondescript. Identity-less. The third one, the LA one, is really ugly. Do not like that one. The fourth one is a bit better but still bad. Logo sucks.

Do not understand why they chose such bland jerseys & logo.

I was just looking at these and reading a story about them on ESPN, but they didn't show the blue or black unis.

My initial, gut reaction: There's something I like about the new LAC logo and the stripped-down look of that red uniform, but I don't like how the team is now mixing black into the home unis—having "Clippers" in black but still having blue on the collar and side panels clashes—and those black unis look downright D-Leaguish, particularly with the outline of the basketball and because the logo is so small as to be hard to decipher from a distance.

I'm generally not a big fan of a red-white-and-blue color scheme (unless it's a patriotic team like the Patriots or Sixers), mainly because it's so overused. I'd definitely like to see the Clippers incorporate, you know, an actual clipper ship, or some aspect of one (sails, for example) into their logo and unis, and if they want a new color scheme, maybe ditch the blue and go with black and red.

TP to the OP for the photos.

They look like practice jerseys, all of them. New ugly jerseys go hand in hand with the Clippers soon to be downfall into mediocrity.

They remind me of the Thunders logo and jerseys, which is not a good look.  Too plain and generic looking.

This looks like what I'd get when I build my own custom team in video games, and am stuck with one default jersey option.

And the black lettered "Clippers" makes it look like the off-brand products you can buy at the supermarket.

Definitely uninspiring. I thought perhaps Theo bought a piece of the Clippers and got the Cubs logo to be altered for the Clippers.

I like those logos better with than this new clippers logo, at least it has some character to it.

Yup.  Even Richard Sherman to the left over there disapproves.

Totally agree.  These are awful.  Why can't anyone come up with creative new jerseys?  The only recent ones that haven't been dull are those sweet new Bucks ones.  The Thunder, Pelicans, and these ones are all so plain and boring.
