Of course, there's the real possibility there isn't going to be a rebrand.


I agree, to my dismay, that's probably the case... I'm just not a fan of purple.

I was thinking that too. I assumed this was an older thread somebody bumped, not a new one. Because it seems like there's a thread about new unis/colours etc every six months or so.

Always with the same ideas, especially no more chevrons.

Lots of potential there, but lots of these are just as ugly as what we got now just in different ways.

The Shawn Kemp Sonics one went from 1978-95. They had their two straight Finals appearances vs Bullets in 78 and 79 in those uni's, with Dennis Johnson, Gus Williams and Jack Sikma, long before Kemp and Gary Payton wore them. They were nice, but in 95 they switched to an ugly darker green and dark red.

The teal late 90s Pistons were terrible, and GM Joe Dumars thankfully switched back to the iconic Bad Boys blue red and white

lol posted in wrong thread !

Seems like Raptors could have another big man in mind if Maluach is not available at 9

https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA_Draft/s/OKCqNA0rLN

Quote : “The Raptors, though, have left various rival teams with the impression that they covet multiple centers at the No. 9 slot … meaning they might have another big man in mind should Maluach come off the board by the time Toronto is on the clock.”

Queen ?
Fleming ?
Sorber?
Wolf ?

Or it’s more with pick #39?
