No offense, but I don't like any of those concepts...especially the orange one that people seem to be loving. Really? Orange Knicks jerseys? That sh*t just doesn't look right. New York is a famous, historical city and the Knicks are a famous and historical team. Gotta keep things original. I know the Knicks don't have the type of history that the Yanks do, but changing the jerseys that much would almost be like taking the pinstripes off the Yankees unis.


its a matter of opinion.. the problem is making them too busy with a color as bright as orange.

i personally find the classic getup bland. i mean, for a city as rich in art, and as important to fashion as new york is, the knicks uni's are boring. i'd like to see some pop art or art deco influence in the jerseys. i'd also prefer to have the home uni to have the "knicks" across the chest.

maybe some jackson pollock paint drips in orange in blue on the white.

or maybe the a sleeker version of the classic, with the "new york" and "knicks" in a Coca Cola like lettering.

Sometimes change is a good thing. Start a new tradition. Knicks have only won 2 championships in their history, the last one 37 years ago. I've been a Knicks fan for over 20 years, and half of those 2o years has been during the worst time in franchise history.

I'd love for the Knicks to hire Diddy or Marc Ecko, or another hot designer to design their new uniforms, with new colors, to bring some excitement back to the team.


Tsk tsk, TheGuy, history is not just about winning championships. The Knicks are one of the oldest teams. I respect your tastes. But I think you shouldn't mess too much with classics. The Knicks white home jersey IMO is one of the few classic jerseys in the league it shouldn't be messed with too much. Boston IMO had perfect jerseys and they messed with them more than I would have liked. I think they (the Knickerbockers) should definitely do something way different with the road jerseys though.

Also I want to point out people have different tastes. I happen to think most of the jerseys now are ugly and too bright and WNBAish for my liking.


Same here dude. I'm a big fan of the retro look. I hate the V-neck and the wide shoulders a lot of these teams have now. Also hate that shiny new material some of them use like the Nuggets and Bucks. That sh*t is hideous. I like that the Knicks still have one of the more classic looking jerseys. Would be pissed to see them ruin it with some shiny, orange BS. Gotta keep "NEW YORK" across the chest as well.


The other night against Toronto they showed 2 people sitting together, one wearing a Ewing throwback with no stupid black anywhere on the sleeves or sides and the other wearing the current jersey. The Ewing jersey just looked so much better. A slight modernization of that Jersey and the original shorts with the white and orange stripe are what this team needs IMO.

I was bored so I made an orange alternate based on that third pic... It could use some work but eh.

I'd rather have a black & orange jersey than an all orange jersey. Maybe a Halloween jersey for the Knicks?
