    To be brutally honest: this is the NBA's worst jersey right now.

      I'm not sure it's as bad as this. And we've yet to see the OKC jerseys which will obviously be haphazardly designed and craptacular.

        A lot of people will be disappointed if the OKC jerseys aren't terrible.  I'm hoping for a Teal Pistons redux.

    I actually like them.  I guess I'm in the minority on this one.

     

    And you honestly think this is worse than the T-Wolves?  Or the Bucks?  Come on...

      Sure, the Wolves are pretty bad, but they at least kept the evergreen trim. The shorts are keepers as well.

The Orlando Magic have new uniforms
NBA Noise — ... a startling change from previous jersey iterations, but there are several subtle details. The main thing that jumps out is the"tapered" pinstripes. Another interesting change was the removal of the arm-hole detail borders. The away jersey's are the same vibrant blue, with the main text of "Orlando", and the home jerseys of course are white with the main text of "Magic". Overall, I think they look fine, but not much to write home about. What do you think of the new unis? Check the Orlando Sentinal for more pics

Uni Watch — ... of the road jersey. Oddly, although the stripes diverge on the front, they’re straight on the back — weird. Both jerseys carry a 20th-season patch. The curved pinstriping is interesting — gonna have to wait and see how it looks on the court. But man, for a team that once had such unique typography, the new type is snoozeville.
