In other news....more blue uniforms. Not sure how this is "new". It just looks like the old char hornets jerseys with new colors.

They are okay, I like that they are a bit more complex then most team's basic scheme.

I really don't like the collars on them, but otherwise they are pretty good.

Tell you the truth the best uniforms the Jazz have had I feel are the Mountain series. The colors were bad, but if the Jazz were to mix these uniforms with those last uniforms they would have a very good looking jersey.

I'm not a big fan of these. Maybe they'll look different on the playing floor.

It'll be interesting to see how Oklahoma City will design their new uniforms. The new trend seems to be going almost toward the football uniform-style with curving lines (similar to the Denver Broncos effect after the half stripe was released).

Any guesses on the new colors of Oklahoma City? I'm guessing Dark Blue and Silver.

The Wolves jerseys were terrible before, but these are almost as boring as the Bobcats uniforms....

OKC colors will be Crimson and Cream!

Those were by far the worst NBA uniforms of all time.

I mean it.

They're pretty good, and I really like the away shorts. I guess they'll put out a black alternate in 1-2 years.

And I LOVE our mountain uniforms. I still remember the first time I saw one in a sports store the summer that we changed them. They kicked ass! The graphic uniforms of the 90's ruled.

The new Kings uniform is pretty sick looking:

Thats the thing I hate about our jerseys. There is no depth to it. Its just plain as sh^+. We by far have the simplest uniforms out there. Thats why I like are alternates. At least they have the Jazz from our logo, and stripes down the side. Then the ruin it by having Utah written down the bottom. I swear Sloan and LHM made them there selves. I wish we did incorporate the mountains in our jerseys.

I think those twolves go up there with the worst in the NBA

but as far as the jazz go I think our alternates are way better than our regular

our regulars aren't ugly..there just isn't a lot to them

I am not a fan of our current uniforms (though the whites do look sharp). I think the baby blues are a bit too trendy (its the teal of the early ninties) and the darks just look like an ugly mess. The mountain Jerseys were Colorado Rockies rip-offs. The Jazz should go back to the music-note "J" and build around that. It was one of the most original and coolest logos in the league. Its time to bring it back.

As far as the T Wolves Jerseys go . . . yuck. Too many little niknacs. The new Kings Jerseys look fairly nice, though I could go the rest of my life without seeing another purple jersey and be just fine with it.

The Best Jerseys in the NBA are the Bulls and Celtics. They dont get caught up in trends (except for that awful pinstriped thing the bulls did with their alts for a while) and they have distinctive logos that match the team's identities. Honorable Mention to the Lakers (the purple hurts them) and the Knicks and the now-defunct Sonics (as long as we pretend that the red jersies never happened).

They've got the Seattle Seahawks flair... with the neon green trim.

I thought the same thing about the Seahawks.

I actually really like the Kings uniforms though.

You liked the shoes on Miller? I can see that...but I think the shoes would look better if they were switched so white was with white, black was with the dark blue.

The mountain uniforms were embarrassing. I think they set record lows for uniform sales around the nation (though the black and copper alternates improved that some).

I like our current basic scheme, I just think it needs an upgrade on the trim to give it more flare. I think we're currently in a state like the old miami heat uniforms...if they improved the trim and neck a little, then they would be pretty sweet. In any case, they are infinitely better than the mountain look.

I like the road jerseys. Actually I just kind of like the shoes that Mike Miller is wearing. You dont see shoes like that in the NBA.

The Wolves are at most an improvement over the old ones, still fugly.

The Kings jersey, well... what the crap is up with purple jerseys anyway? atrocious...

I would take the Jazz powder blues ANY DAY!

hey our old jerseys were purple, i actually liked those alot. The only problem with those jerseys were they looked to much like the lakers purple jerseys. Our true blue jerseys are damn cool, I dont understand why they dont use them more because that true blue seems to be the jazz's main color nowadays.

my opinion about the kings jerserys, they look cool. I like simple jerseys that look like that.

Didn't the Hornets make a big fuss over getting the old Jazz colors back in the uniforms? I actually liked the color scheme. It seems like their more conforming to the normal color schemes.

I do like their logo adjustments though.

Not a fan of the pinstripes. Alternating stripes just looks funny.
