Best NBA uniform?

[sribb43]

LMAO @ the Spurs being a nominee.

Double "LMAO" at them winning (what would you expect at SpursTalk).

The Spurs Jerseys are definately NOT cool....that "spur" is too cowboy-esque. And they always wrinkle up at the base of the neck when the players sweat.

Are the five choices supposed to be the five best uniforms in the league, or is the poll just to decide which among those five uniforms is best?

I think the Knicks have a classic jersey, as well as the Sixers.

Among those choices, I might go with the Suns.

Yeah, Philly's jersey is pretty choice.

The Suns Jersey's or Ok, but that orange road jersey is hideous!

[baseline bum]

I have to be honest here. The last time the Lakers redesigned theirs nearly 10 years ago they came out horrible. What I don't like is the way it's shaped at the top front of the jersey between the shoulder straps. Looks pretty cheap.

As far as team colors go, I have this to say. Former Laker owner Jack Kent Cooke, who built the "Forum" for them to play in called the team colors Forum Blue and Gold. Well, Forum Blue is actually Regal Purple, and on just about every color broadcast I have seen, it looks dark blue. Yeah, back in the old days when I was a kid, we had a black and white set.

Also, back then, the only colors I saw the Lakers play in were their road dark uniforms. Home games weren't broadcast, and no cable TV existed. So, it was always fun to go to a game and see them in their gold jersies. Almost every other NBA team wore white at home, so our gold was kind of special. About 7 years back, LA switched to White for Sunday home games only. I like those a lot better than the gold, and wish they would use them all of the time at home.

Lakers jerseys are awful... these are by far the best Laker jerseys ever:





That is funny about the LA jerseys looking blue on TV, because they're always clearly purple when you see them live.

A few of my other favorites:

Spurs road jerseys from about 74-75 to 81-82 or so


Baltimore Bullets jerseys from the late 60s - early 70s






76-77 Sixers




Indiana Pacers mid to late 80s




Atlanta Hawks mid 80s - early 90s




Seattle Supersonics early 80s - early 90s

Those Sonics jerseys were great. So were the Hawks. I like the nameplate being encased in a strip like that, I wish more teams would do that.

i like Kings jerseys

[baseline bum]

As for the worst jerseys all-time, these three pretty much own that category:

Opening night 2003-04 Mavericks Garbage-bags


Tie-dye 92-93 Nets road


Powder blue Kings road from mid to late 80s

The trashbag unis don't look bad in that photo, it was just on tv that it almost was a brownish color.

[baseline bum]

Oh yeah, I forgot those hideous purple and black Kings uniforms with the checkerboard trim from 96-97.

They look pretty brown in that photo to me, but definitely not as bad as they were on TV. What's sick is Staples Center has some of the best lighting in the league. Those would have looked 10x worse in the AT&T Center.

G.O.A.T.

Spurs, and I swear it's not a homer pick. Fashion wise, I go for simple and clean stuff, and basic black and white fits that bill. Part of me suspects I was visually traumatized into those tastes as a child by the Astros jerseys of the 80's.

i love simple, and black and white (Raiders fan) but i just think the trim and font is ugly as . if they fixed those things, i would vote spurs.

[IronMexican]

I love Raider colors, so i will say the Spurs, since they are the most similar.

the new Laker uni's are ass ugly, i wanna go back to out 90's look.

[FanSPURSatic]

voted Spurs. but the Celtics had a nice st patricks day look.

I don't like those at all. I liked the ones they had the year before though... those were sweet.

[monosylab1k]

Pierce really needs to look into wearing a better fitting jersey, or invest in an undershirt, i'm sick of seeing his nipples all the time.

WRONG!!!

[baseline bum]

If I could pick only one, this is the greatest jersey of all-time:

[Gino]

God these were awful:

[Findog]

WRONG!!!

Those were pretty damn bad, considering the previous ones were gorgeous:

[baseline bum]

WRONG!!!

No way. I'd rather see my team play in pajamas over trashbags, hippie gear, or powder blue. I don't think those Rockets jerseys are even as bad as their current shiny ones.

Besides, these are the worst jerseys of the late 90s by far:

[Oh, Gee!!]

spurs, but rockets circa mid-1980's were cool too!
