Red - it's the new teal! Tony, if you're the clothes Queer, I guess I'm the furniture Queer - but I'll rate the new unis as well. All in all, they are pretty decent. What does this mean for the Orndoff Principle?
Raptors: 7.0
Representin' Canada is good, but it's still technically an alternate jersey, so the purple will rear its ugly head. Plus, they're named after dinosaurs.
Cavaliers: 8.5
Dope logo! Their unis have been a disaster in the post-Mark Price era, but these are pretty sharp. I like the 'wine' better as an accent color than as a main color.
Rockets: 9.5
Outstanding! Very space-age in a Jetsons kind of way. From the side, the stripes form chevrons pointing towards each other.
Magic: 6.0
Generic. They look like Kentucky or Memphis. On the plus side, they aren't offensive - just boring. I am a uniform purist in football and baseball, but in hoops I want a little zazz.
Nuggets: 7.5
Very nice color scheme, but they kept the old font. A total makeover would have been better - or just wear the rainbow throwbacks!
Suns: 9.0
I've always liked the gray stripe down the side, and it looks great with orange. If I were going to wear one of these jerseys, this would be it. Check out the snazzy website of the design firm that did the Suns' new uniforms, as well as most of the other Phoenix teams.
Hockey Preview
This is unfortunate: the new Dallas Stars alternate jersey. It's the stars of the constellation Taurus arranged over a bull's head. Barf.
Chris Creamer reports the NHL is switching to dark jerseys at home so the home teams can show off these abominations to their loyal fans.
