I want these back :(

Anyone else feel the same way?

All the other NBA teams using different shades of blue has become really generic. The Grizzlies should change things up an go back to the the black, turquoise and red colors. Can't forget the hint of brown too.

I'll gladly welcome back Shane and Pau to this team.

Kick rocks Rudy and Darko.

I completely agree with you. Most all the teams these days either have blue or red uniforms. Visually, that gets really tiresome to look at and makes all the teams seem the same. Having a unique uniform pattern and color scheme helps create an identity to the team and separates them from the competition. This is basic marketing we are talking about here. It may have nothing to do with the quality of basketball the team plays, but it does create more interest in the general population by catching their eyes more often. Besides, you can never go wrong with wearing black.

Nah, have you seen the Pros jerseys those are nice jerseys. Anything with tourquise is bad. Grizzles need a fashion makeover, they already have excellent players and are about to get another one, their jerseys are one of the worst jerseys in the league IMO.

I'll tell you what if you like those old ugly jerseys send me your credit card and I'll give you all my used clothes I no longer wear and are out of style.

I still see people here in Vancouver wearing their old Abdur-Rahim, Bibby, and even Reeves jerseys. Those to me don't look anywhere near the caliber of the Memphis uniforms. And I still have my autographed Michael Dickerson shooting shirt. That one has no red on it but is black with the teal blue and looks very nice.

I want to see the Grizzlies with some black alts with brown trim (due to a Grizzly's color). While I'd like an all brown trim, here is a concept that I made.

Maybe they should just steal the Memphis Tiger's jerseys when they had Rose, CDR, Dorsey, etc.

It might draw (fool?) more attendance lol.

Battier, makes sense. Pau Gasol, makes a ton of sense. Jason Williams? Then I read the part about the uniforms. I always thought those were good ones.
