Scubetrolis Presents: Top 3 Jerseys of all time

[IndyPacers67]

My three favorites:







The Knicks, Bulls and Celtics do have the classics, and are probably the best though. I love the Carmelo one posted, and its interesting how similar it was to these Cavs unis:




Bets on whether or not he made that free throw?

[Star-Lord]

My all-time favorite

Definitely my homer pick.


Lots of people have picked this, and I'll happily cosign.



The old Baltimore Bullets uniforms. The funny thing is, I typically despise the color orange. It works here though. I also love that deep blue they used.



Denver's ABA uniforms are awesome. The Nuggets should really just go back to these permanently.









Going through this thread has made me realize just how much I dislike the current uniform trends in the league. Everything is so homogenized and boring now...

The Warriors current jerseys could be all-time greats if they did a classic neck line and thinner shoulders. Half-assed rebuild... typical warriors.

Golden State's classic yellow The City jersey is hands down the best basketball jersey ever made just like the classic red Blackhawks jersey is the best hockey jersey ever made.

[Shkodran_Plako]

personally i preffer simplicity

[GoGoCeltics]

I don't know about best all-time, but I think I'm the only person who likes these:



They are just unique. So many jerseys just look the same as one another.

Then again, I like the ugly Mavs gray jerseys and green P. Diddy jerseys. They have charm in their ugliness.

I like these a lot too!

the old Magic jersey is the best of all time, but i also like the retro Pacers and Hawks jersey.

[fullcourt]

i hate the pin strip Bulls jersey, it's lamb because they are just copying the Magic and red pin strips just look weird.

i do love the retro Sonics jersey and retro Spurs jersey

I wish somebody would make a website dedicated to NBA uniforms along the lines of the Dressed to the Nines website for MLB or the Gridiron Uniform Database for NFL. Maybe there are too many NBA alternates for it to ever be complete, but I'd love to see it.

Some of these uniforms slipped under my radar. For instance, did the Blazers really wear those Rip City jerseys in a game? Never saw them. What about those Hornets argyle uniforms? Did they really wear those? WTF?

Here's my favorites by team:
-I love the Cavs alternate that they wore in the 2010 playoffs. Wine and gold with the 1980s script.
-I agree with gogoceltics that the lime green 1970s Hawks jerseys were nice.
-Boston's regular greens are classic.
-Original Charlotte Hornets uniforms were awesome. I liked the purple alternates too.
- All of the Bobcats jerseys have sucked.
- Early 1980s Bulls reds with cursive script.
- Sorry, but I've never liked any of the Mavericks jerseys. Guess I'll go with the green alternates with the pseudo-70s script that they wore in the late 2000's. Do they still wear those?
- I like the Denver powder blues. Didn't like the 1980s skyline jerseys.
- Pistons, you have to go back to the 1960s Dave Bing jerseys. Classic.
- For GS, I actually like the early 1990s Chris Mullin jerseys. The white ones were pretty slick.
- For the Rockets, i actually like the understated reds from the early 1970s. Everything after that was too busy.
- For Indiana, it has to be the early 2000s pinstripes.
- For the Clippers, I have to go with the late 1970s Bill Walton powder blue underwear-style tank tops. Damn things were so tight.
- For the Lakers, I'm going with the 1970s Karrem style before they added all the fancy piping.
- For Miami, I have to go with the original white 1988 home jerseys. Downhill since.
- For the Bucks, I'm going with the 1980s Sidney Moncrief greens with the mascot on the shorts. I actually also like the current red alternates.
- All of the Wolves uniforms have sucked. So, for them, I'm going with the 1959 Minneapolis Lakers roads. Close enough.
- For the Nets, I'm seriously going with the early 1990s tie-died powder blues. Under rated, I think. I also liked the late 1990s grey alternates. Their regular navy blues actually aren't too bad either.
- For the Knicks, go with the classic early 1970s blues.
- For Orlando, I loved the original blacks.
- For Philly, it's the 1970s blues or the 1980s reds. Classic.
- For Phoenix, it's the original purples that they wore into the early 1990s. With the bursting sun.
- For Portland, I like the vertical script red road jerseys. You guys know the one I'm talking about?
- I really like the Kings' current purples. If you see those things live, they're really nice.
- I like the old-school San Antonio silver jerseys. I also like the 1980s black roads that said San Antonio across the chest, not the current ones that say Spurs.
- For Seattle, I like the 1970s/1980s Jack Sikma home whites. Didn't like the mid-1990s Payton/Kemp green/red unis.
- Has OKC worn anything but their regular jerseys? Those are ok.
- For Toronto, I liked the early 2000s purple road jerseys with the black backs. Thought those were cool.
- For Utah, I like the current greens. They remind me of the late 1970s/early 1980s greens, which were cool. Hated the 1997/1998 mountain scape jerseys. It's a shame they wore those things in the Finals.
- For Memphis, I kind of like the recent powder blue alternates. Do they still wear those?
- For the Bullets/Wizards, I have to go with the early 1970s orange jerseys (which I think they actually wore at home, right?). I also like the mid-1990s Chris Webber/George Muresan reds, which were the first jerseys they wore after moving away from the horizontal stripes.

Thread should be renamed All-Jerseys of All-Time.

What do you all think about this? I remember thinking when they came out that they looked horrible since the jersey and shorts didn't match... But now I kinda like them.

I like them in theory, but not for the Wizards since gold and black weren't their colors. It would be like if the Celtics showed up wearing silver and black. Didn't the Kings also wear a gold uniform once or twice in the 2000s?

When the Cavs were wearing wine and true gold (as opposed to the yellow they have now), I was really hoping they'd wear a true gold home uniform. That would have been slick.

I like non-white jerseys at home. I like that the Lakers wear yellow at home and I really wish a couple more teams would do that. Warriors and Cavs should wear yellow at home like they used to in the early 1980s. Spurs should wear silver.

Is there anywhere you could buy some of these jerseys.. ive searched for hours for particular ones without luck. That black LA one is amazing. If anyone knows of somewhere or someone you can get some the rare ones let me know please.

Old school Hornets FTW
