NBA 75th Anniversary "City" Uniforms for 2021-22

ThunderCeltic · Post #1 » by **ThunderCeltic** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:34 pm

As part of the 75th anniversary of the league, teams will this year have a "mashup" or "fauxback" for their "City" Editions this year. The Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns will retain last season's city editions for this year. Also the Celtics/Knicks/Warriors will have "Classic" editions this season since they are three of the original clubs.

Some Uniforms have already leaked:

Also that proposed Suns uniform will not be worn this season as they are wearing last years City edition. Dallas/Atlanta/Cleveland are also honoring their old arenas as well (Reunion Arena, The Omni, and the Richfield Coliseum respectively).

I was really hoping that Miami would keep the Vice jerseys for at least one more year, so I could have a pride themed Lowry jersey.

Dang.

Miami's is looking like the worst of the lot. Basically a ransom note using woodwork from previous uniforms. Even a 1988-1999 uniform decked in Miami Vice blue with Pink lettering would have been nice.

For whatever I thought the Laker jersey were some throw back Utah Jazz jersey.

Heat one looks like it was done by a 5 year old. Disappointed

most of these look really good. My favourites are Warriors and Bulls.
The worst by a landslide is the Heat, which is weird because i love the Vice jerseys.

Wtf I haven't been more disgusted at the sight of a Heat jersey since the last time I saw Beno Udrih wearing one. They've been trolling hard with their last three alternate uniforms, this hot mess and these abominations from last season:

I'm not even a Celtics fan but I really wish they would just leave them alone and stop with these alternates(although I did like the black numbers and green jerseys that debut in the 00s). To me the Celtics jersey is like the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, and BoSox jerseys which are classics and should be the only jerseys they wear during games.

The Lakers edition uses the traditional Laker woodwork with a more lighter shade of purple and has blue and white outlines honoring their colors since moving to L.A. (Blue/White/Purple but no Gold).

Atlanta's is a knockoff of their 1995-1999 set and also honoring their old home The Omni.

Dallas is using their original colors and also honoring their first home Reunion Arena.

Cleveland is plastering their original logo over their 1970's uniform and is also honoring their old stomping grounds The Richfield Coliseum.

Brooklyn's is Navy honoring the 20th Anniversary of their first Finals appearance and using altered woodwork from their 1990-1997 uniforms and side panels from their 1970'a ABA uniforms.

Chicago's is using the woodwork from their road uniforms pre 1985 but in white lettering.

Miami's has already been discussed and should never see the light of day.

Every time I comment on jerseys I feel like an angry old man but man, I just hate them. I hate turning on the tv and not being able to tell which freakin team is which...all of this **** is just so stupid. Ugh....

Not a fan. There are ordinary people with much better taste in style. I've seen them.

Botched the Lakers one so badly. That’s like a brick off the front of the rim
