Ranking the NBA city edition uniforms

Cool but could be better…

These seven are cool jerseys that I would definitely buy if I were a fan of these teams. Some are either missing an element or leaned too heavily on last year but they’ve done well here.

Golden State Warriors: These would have probably fallen into the boring category but I do like the lightning bolts with the black backdrop. That little bit of color makes the difference.

Indiana Pacers: Some people don’t like these and I can see why, but I love the throwback colors, as they remind me of Rik Smits and being reminded of the Flying Dutchman and his glorious mullet is always a good thing.

Sacramento Kings: There’s not much to these and the “Sactown” may be played out a bit but I do like the plain black with just that little bit of purple detail. These are simple but I like them.

Utah Jazz

Phoenix Suns

I ranked these two together because they really just recycled their uniforms from last season, but everyone liked them, so it’s probably not a bad call. I think the Suns “Valley” uniforms are slightly overrated by some but they are still interesting. Same with Utah, which really needs to give the name “Jazz” back to New Orleans and call themselves something else that actually fits the city and uniform.

Washington Wizards: I love that they did a color scheme that was a throwback to the “Bullets” days when Washington had a cool mascot. This is another team that needs to find a new nickname as “Wizards” is easily the worst in the entire league and has no relationship to DC whatsoever.

Los Angeles Clippers: I’m a big fan of baby blue, so I like these a lot even though they are pretty boring overall. The color saves it.
