I didnt think the celtics were washed up but I didnt think they'd dominate this bad.

Wow, I guess I should have been more sensitive to the delicate tastes of my fellow Celtic fans!

I forgot the Kings only because everyone else has.

the pinstripes are atrocious. It'd be a travesty of epic proportions to screw with the Celtics unis like that. The Hawks design is pretty sharp, though. Disagree with Ricardo on the red/yellow. The old Hawks unis were fantastic, and I think the 80s Rockets unis were great. Really classic look and they weren't too busy. They've been tripping all over themselves every since the mid 90s pinstripes debacle. When will teams learn? No pinstripes. Ever. The only pinstripe jersey I didn't hate were the black and red Bulls, but they were still a downgrade versus the classic Bulls unis. Basketball jerseys lend themselves to simplicity. Pick a nice color scheme and keep the design simple. It's no wonder that all the best uniforms today are classics from yesteryear. Celtics, Lakers, Knicks, Pistons, Bulls, Sixers (now that they've gone back), Clippers. It's the teams that keep tinkering that keep screwing it up (wizards are probably the worst with this.. remember that tri-tone block design?). Also, the Kings jerseys are entirely purple, fwiw.

I have an old silver Bucks alternate "fauxback" I did. Maybe I'll send that your way.

The problem with red and yellow as a matched pair is not that they are unique, but that they suck ass. The Rockets had the good sense to pitch those old McDonald's unis along with that hideous font they used. Atlanta had the same wretched color scheme, but the uniform design looked good. I do agree that the Hawks should have used some other color scheme; there just isn't enough purple in the NBA. (Laker purple is more of a bluish-violet; even the Suns purple isn't quite a true purple) A metallic gold would be good in some capacity. IMO the Wizards have the best color scheme in the NBA. The "Wizards" on the jersey front is horrible, but everything else on their unis is nice.

I love the Hawks "fauxback" but to me the Hawks will always be red and yellow. Too many other teams are blue and red, so why not be different?
