Watching Celtics-Pistons. Pistons alternate jerseys are i]ugly[/i] and it took me a minute to figure out that the Celtics weren't playing the Atlanta Hawks because the Pistons uniforms looks so much like something ATL would wear.
Watching the game on NBATV too. You will also love that they are keeping these Motor City jerseys as the "heritage" jerseys but adding sleeves to them next year!
Minor quibble that may fit in this thread, and I may have complained elsewhere before, but in advertising the Suns-Warriors game on NBATV tonight, they are still using a picture of Dragic from last year in the old uniforms. Just seems like someone would catch those aren't the right uniforms...
I don't get having nicknames for the team/city on the jersey. I get it's the alternate, but I don't like it. Portland has Rip City on it. I'm surprised that the Clippers don't have Lob City on theirs.
If the Celtics ever even thought about having jerseys with "Beantown" or something other than Boston or Celtics written on front, I'd threaten to blow up Adam Silver's office.
The other thing that bugs me is when they have the jersey's for Spanish Heritage week. I know that names like Heat, Lakers, etc. are the team names and don't really have to be changed, but when they have Los Heat or whatever, it bugs me. If you're going to changes Los then change the whole name.

The new Arena Football League expansion team, the Los Angeles Kiss (owned by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley) have the ugliest god damn uniforms of all time. They were designed by Paul Stanley too! Knowing Simmons and his penchant for publicity stunts, I bet he told Stanley and the uniform designers to make them as ugly as possible. God damn it...these are some ugly fucking uniforms.
In more agreeable minor league uniform news, The Fresno Grizzlies (San Francisco Giants Triple A affiliate) are going to wear Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles uniforms on August 2nd. 8)
They leaked yesterday, but officially, here are the new Jets uniforms.
I like them. Seems to be a pretty good balance of modern and classic, keeping the design pretty minimalistic. Only real complaint is that I feel like they could have done a better job with the logo refresh.
Yeah the event itself was a complete waste. JB Smoove going on about all the great Jets QB's of years past and their achievements was something: starts with Namath obv, then O'Brien beat Marino in an epic shootout that one time, and Pennington was accurate!
Magic's alternate City Edition jerseys are p. decent though. I'm surprised orange isn't integrated into the Magic's color considering their home state but maybe they think people will think "Hey! That's the Heat's color!"
In case anyone is wondering, the buildings on the Philly jerseys are Boathouse Row. It looks nice when they are lit up at night, but not sure it makes for a good jersey design. Also p. sure displaying rowing/social clubs doesn't really depict "Philadelphia". But, hey, there's a subtle "TTP" above the AD in the city name.
