They either should have found a way to incorporate the shiny star unis from the 2000s as well or just went back their 90s set. These just came out underwhelming.

Horrible :lol: those look like a cheap Walmart version of the originals imo…and like our franchise elected for the overused ball inspired logo, just weak overall.

Well, Orlando has had a ball logo their entire existence.

Outside of a using a wizard, what logo can you really use for "magic" lol
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I like those for the Magic. More teams need to go back to the 90s designs. Most now are just boring.

It's the font, it's too plain. This font had more character:

Also, this just reminds me of how pinstripes don't usually look that good on jerseys.

They botched the black one, but the white jersey is cool and the blue is aight. I like the og 90’s version too.

Agreed, not really a fan of these other than the white uni which is ok, the 3rd jersey is hideous... I used to rock the Magic Starter jacket back in the early 90s 'Lil Penny' days, loved that logo.

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

JFC if we bring back that ugly, tacky ass 1990s Barney logo, I will vomit :lol:

Please, just wear the uniforms we have been wearing since approximatley the 2017-2018 season, the ones we wore in our championship run. No, not the chevrons, these ones:

And good lord, 1990s jerseys/uniforms were ugly and cringe as sin.

I think any new jersey will likely only take some inspiration from the past. We're not going to be getting replicas of previous jerseys/logos.

While I don't disagree with you on the Raptor/jerseys, I think there is a very real love for those jerseys, so I can imagine the Raptors wanting to capitalize on this.

Remove the 3 and I like this better than the watermelon

That's the best idea yet.

And bring the Rap right claw down and almost palm the ball from the underside.

I understand why some won't like the chevron but I associate that to June 13, 2019.

The Red and White Chevron jersey!

It'll remain my favorite jersey of all time!

The NORTH championship one looks super nice. Others are not great.

If we get an Orlando version of our classic jersey I’ll be devastated.

If it ain’t broke, don’t break it.
