Do you want new jerseys?

This season we'll see new uniforms for Minnesota, New Orleans, Sacramento & Orlando. Is it time for the Clippers to get some new unis as well? We have a completely different team and our style of play will definitely change. Should we usher in a new era of Clipper basketball with a new look to go along with it or keep it the same? You can vote twice, preferably 1 for the first 4 options and 1 for the last 4 options.


These are our logos and some of the uniforms throughout the years.

I think it would be nice to get some new unis. We are starting a new era of Clipper basketball with B-Diddy running the show. We need to shed our old image of incompetence and show that we are ready for a change. If we did get the jerseys, i wouldnt want them to be cartoony like the 'wolves or ugly like the hornets.

I like our uniforms. We just need to change the alternate jerseys.

I like the road alternates the best...but we always lose in those damn things. Other than that...I think the logo and home unis are fine. I would like to see some black road jerseys brought into the mix though.

Yeah the road alts are nice but always seem to bring us bad luck. Hopefully this new cast of players can change that.

Yeah, change the alternates. I dig them, but sometimes they look too generic. I liked it when we had the Russia colors on the sides of it, but it wouldn't make any sense to do it now. I like our regular unis though. Would be kinda difficult to come up with new uniforms when you look at our previous ones, haha. Unless we change our color scheme/logo, I think the design is probably going to stay the same. Would be cool to see some black alternate...

I like our jerseys--especially the blue road alts but they just can't seem to win with them for damn reason.

I'd be up for a uni design change but nothing too drastic. Unlike the Hornets, they don't really have too much to work with in terms of good old school designs.

I like our jerseys. The blue Los Angeles one is yummies.

I really like our home jerseys. They're one of my favorites in the league. I think the red road unis are so-so. I can't recall the last time we won in our blue alternates, so over the years I have grown to hate seeing us wearing them. Aside from that they do look decent.

I'd like to see us make a change of some kind to go along with a new Clipper attitude. It doesn't have to be a total overhaul, but maybe a little tweak. I do like JJ's idea of a black road jersey/alternate being tossed into the mix.

Maybe we should change our road unis back to this one

I'm likin those better than the current ones, for sure. Funny how we like our home unis-- I'm with MK, I think they're some of the best in the leauge-- but road jersey that has the exact same layout but a different color is just so-so. I'm really not a big fan of the current roads, for the record. I'm with MJ's idea.

All black alternate with white trim jerseys would be perfect, I would stripe the names and and team name in red, white, and blue type candy paint gloss. If had photoshop I could display it better than in words.

Hey guys, I'm a long time listener, first time caller all the way from Australia. Go Clippers!

I'm a fan of the current home jerseys, but I agree I'd like to see an update to reflect a new era for the team. After our play off run a few seasons back would have been a great time to bring in a new style.

Quick question: why did they drop the orange anyway?

Alternate jersey is the blue one, correct? It's nice but needs to be tweaked a little more since it's used very rarely anyway.

Did you mean this one? Image

Other than that, I don't think they ever had orange on their unis in Los Angeles or San Diego for that matter. They only used that a few times for one season as a throwback to the Buffalo Braves in the same way the Lakers wore the MPLS jerseys a few times. It was never meant to be a regular thing. I hate orange jerseys anyway. Phoenix's orange is the worst.

The San Diego jerseys were light blue and orange-- but orange has just been an accent, not a main color. I like the blue and orange throwbacks...but not enough to want to change our whole scheme to that.

Just get rid of those blue ones. Yuck. I think the home jerseys are the best in the league though.

^ I think the blue jerseys are the coolest looking jerseys out of all of our jerseys, even if they bring bad luck.

Just keep the same jerseys for now, I can't imagine a jersey with the team name "Clippers" looking any cooler than it does for now.

I think it's time for an all out new look. Something that will define this new team and wil bring some form of rebirth to the Clipper Nation.
