Re: ATLANTA Hawks Turning 50 in October
I are confused. Are they saying there will be another uniform unveiled along with that Brooklyn Net-themed court?
Or are they saying that horrid baby blue/red uniform is what they'll wear on that night?

I'd say the former. And it's more of a Raptors Drake night themed court:

I'm not getting the black and white court either. I swear we have more uniforms than players. I like the home white unis because they make sense with our history of red, yellow color scheme. The road greys are ok but don't knock me out and the alt red ones I don't like. I like the idea of having red jerseys for the road but they need a redesign.

50 is considered the golden anniversary, and crissake, other Mac, you like the jerseys in the reverse order of everyone else.

The reds suck. They are too red and the ATL looks like someone wrote it on there with a sharpie.

Re: ATLANTA Hawks Turning 50 in October

I mean look at this. It's blinding amounts of color. Red jerseys need white trim.

Nonsense. The whites are the worst (settle down, Spudlous), so much so that they realized in one season what anyone could have told them from the beginning, you don't put light numbering or lettering on a light background:
Volt numbers

Red numbers

If anything, the whites should subdue the red and add waaaaay more black (or Georgia granite

And the throwbacks are a beaut, got a real Phillies vibe*

Re: ATLANTA Hawks Turning 50 in October
The alternate black city jerseys are by far the best though:

They eschew the red altogether. I would have made a purchase but with the way the roster was/is made up I couldnt't risk buying a player that wouldn't be on the roster this season. No word on if Nike will even bring these bad boys back as they appear to be strictly rotating teams through only 4 choices (Dan Gilbert is probably salty he couldn't milk 4 alternates and 6 throwbacks out of LeBron's final season in Cleveland) and a few teams being given an extra 5th slot for their throwback option.

The Granite grays are my Fave, followed by the red, couldn't stand the white - the Volt on white made my eyes hurt, like seriously. Seeing them play in those live was worse than on TV. Like you said, they switched the numbers to red on white which actually reads now.

Re: ATLANTA Hawks Turning 50 in October
Agree the number change on the white was needed but they still look good. they look like hawks jerseys. I'm not seeing how the white/volt trim hurts your eyes and the bright red/volt doesn't. I'm definitely down with red jerseys but they need some serious tweaking. I'm fine with the gray but they don't say Hawks to me. They look like Heat jerseys.

It's the contrast of colors. The original volt on white bled out so the numbers were difficult to read and dazzked my eyes. Red and green/volt/yellow are (almost) opposite colors on a colorwheel so the contrast works.

I was thinking the same. He should be called bizarro-mac from now on probably. Then again, you're both very biza ... uh, special.
