I didn't like the yellow, but I liked the ones of that style that were the wine red with yellow lettering. They never wore them though, but they sold a Lebron one at the team shops I bought and stashed away.

The one in the middle

Kinda find some sense of irony in them going to the orange & blue since, well, the Knicks' colors are orange and blue...

I liked the original with the actual cavalier in the rich burgundy.

do the Lakers wear white on Sundays only or will they wear them for Christmas? J/W because I bet the Cavs wear these for that game


and if the Lakers go white they may bust these out

The Lakers wear white on Sundays and Xmas I believe...I don't know though exactly if that's true, but I'm willing to say it is.

Yes I believe we do wear white on Christmas.

I actually dig the burgundy/wine and gold ones you have there, Thunder Dan. Those look sharp. I don't really care for the dark blue ones they wear now as opposed to the normal burgundy/wind and gold unis.

Lebron had his hands in making those Navy blue ones which is why they wear them so much. I don't like the Navy road Alt at all, the current red ones are cool and the home whites are a standard, boring jersey.

I hate alternate uniforms with teams like my Browns and Buckeyes who have classic unis, but let's be honest, the Cavs have a history of shitty uniforms and shitty basketball so they may as well just keep trying different combos

Were those unis the Buckeyes wore against Michigan throwbacks or part of that ugly Nike campaign?

*I didn't like the Lakers' Chick Hearns-inspired white uniforms until a few weeks of wearing them. I loved the notion behind it, but it just didn't seem right. It was like the rest of the league and that's why I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that the Lakers wear gold instead of white. It is noticeable.

I don't like the yellow ones but the other ones are cool.

Outside of the yellows, the Cavs have pretty good colors in my opinion.

And yes, the Lakers wear white on all Sunday home games and on any Holiday I believe (Christmas, MLK, etc).

And there's an interesting stat on the Laker white uni's...I don't they've lost in the Whites for a long time now but I could be wrong this year...I know it held true through last year.

They were an ugly Nike marketing campaign disguised as throwbacks.

yeah those Buckeye uniforms were Nike's. I hated them. I think the Buckeyes have uniforms that rival any pro or college team in terms of classicness (if thats a word) and they shouldn't wear that shit. There was a near armageddon when they changed the stripes on their sleeves a couple years ago

Same with the Browns. Their colors may be ugly to some, but that is them and I hope they never change. Butch Davis had them wear Orange jerseys in 2005 and it was horrid

I like the Buckeyes unis after my alma mater's USC unis...The return to a retro look made the Trojans' unis awesome...

I like the Trojans uniforms now, especially with the gray facemask, but the ones they wore in the 90's were not good looking. I like the ones now with the single stripe on the upper shoulder.

Not a fan of these

I personally think the USC whites are top 5 in college football. My favorites are Texas' whites, USC whites, Michigans blues, Ohio State's reds, and Georgia's reds

yeah I like those too, forgot about those. College football is good for classic uniforms

I think the all whites are awesome. Not really a fan of the orange tops.

You may hate 'em, and they may get undeserved attention but you gotta love the ND Irish' unis.

I just found an old sketchbook I had when I was maybe 10, I had drawn "Hot Rod" John Williams (for what reasons I have no idea, I think I was just trying to make my way around the league. I had also drawn Jordan, Stockton, Magic, Robinson, Barkley, Porter, ect...). The old school Cavs jersey just reminded me of that.

:lol They look about that good. I'll get some scans next time I'm updating my portfolio, and post 'em here. Yes, understand that I was 10 years old at most, so they look like a re-re drew them.

Where were all these alternates when Cleveland was god awful for so long?

Oh wait...just another vehicle to sell more Bron-Bron jerseys

thanks caption obvious. It's good business to cash in when you are one of the top 5 most popular teams in the league
