Sentimental old school unis are a nice alternative once or twice a year.

A 50th anniversary uni is a nice alternative maybe on some special dates of the season.

But this is getting ridiculous.

I ***LIKE*** our uniforms. Give 'em back!

I prefer the blue unis to be honest.. Nice and clean without to much to make them standout.

It's all about the dollars. They're trying to feature those unis as much as possible to get people to buy before coming out with brand new city jerseys next season to repeat the cycle.

I wish we'd wear more throwbacks at once or had more alts each year. Hate wearing the same jerseys constantly.

I hate our normal unis. If it were up to me I would make a black version of our 50th anniversary unis and make those colorways are official unis. Maybe splash some red in there so we look similar to Atlanta United.

I don't mind the 68 throwbacks, or the city jersey, the use of them is ok
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

I find I really don't pay attention to what the team is wearing anymore. Have at it, wear whatever.

^^^This.^^^

There's that, but there's a balance between that and creating and maintaining an identity that, when your team hits the floor, people know it's your team.

Too much alternate jersey stuff really corrodes that.

In fact, do they not call them "alternate" jerseys for a reason? (Evidently not in ATL.)

I’d prefer they switch to the Championship/Inaugural Season baby-blues full time.

I can't stand the texture on our regular jerseys, personally. I wish the'd bring back the pac man vibe, I feel like those would look really clean with a little bit of modernization

Should I also get off your lawn, old man?

Kidding, I actually don't like the blue ones or this year's "city" uniforms. I also don't like the white "regular" ones.

Just wear the black -er- "granite" ones or the reds and I'm cool. If you have to do a thowbak (yes, thowbak), gimme the pac-man's or last year's "city" uni which was super-clean and on-message (volty).

And don't ever wear the Pistol Pete blue/greens again. Not ever.

Funny the only one not interested in what we wear is jayburd aka the only chick among us. :-?

If I'm not mistaken, we tend to win in the Pistol Petes.

Those are the first Hawk uniforms I ever knew, so I have some sentimentality for those...

So, because we tend to win in them and because no one wants to disappoint sturt.... right?.... let's not throw them out.

But just, let's wear our unis almost all the time. They're actually some of the NBA's most unique and interesting, and thus, distinctive. When our guys hit the floor, those are, no mistaking, our guys.

*gasp* Well I never.

I am beyond offended. You don't see us calling for half-nekked women writhing all over the court, do you? Nevermind those cheerleaders. They don't count. :)

If Ladies Night at the Farm, wouldn't the next natural promo be the Dream's Men's Night at the Farm?

PAC MAN BAYYYBEEEE PAC MAN!!!

Love the 80’s Pac-Man the most.

Love the mid 90’s Mutombo Mookie Smitty era ones...more road ones that the home.

Love the baby blues ones we’ve been wearing cuz my fav color is baby blue. I dislike it because we have always been associated with red n yellow (now volt)

And I absolutely love the one the teased us with last year, the volt and black. That was so clean yet they didn’t sell it anywhere online.

Wear it and win!
