Several NBA “City” jerseys have surfaced on Twitter, and they have turned out absolutely hideous. We’ll defend some of them, but we’ll also clown the ones that deserve it. Check them out:

Nets

Who’s idea was it to have the Brooklyn Nets come out looking like the Friends logo? They went crazy abstract with this design when sports fans usually prefer simplicity. It looks like it was designed by Jaden Smith. God awful.

Trailblazers

The Portland Trailblazers got this jersey right. It’s clean and simple. They didn’t get cute with the colors like the Oregon Ducks have done for the past fifteen years or so. Credit to the design team for these.

Pelicans

This one is easily the worst of them all. I can’t tell if it represents the Pelicans or a French World Cup victory. It is literally built to look like a flag, which is about all we can say for it. With all due respect to our French allies, the only place this flag jersey belongs is in the trash.

Heat

This colorway looks slightly washed out, but the overall design isn’t bad. Miami’s “Vice City” look always works. We’re glad they brought it back. It has GTA Vice City vibes all over it.

Suns

“A” for effort on the pixelated backdrop, but no. “The Valley” is a nice touch and the white gives it a solid look, but there’s too much of it, especially with the Nike Swoosh up top. With a cleaner background, this one might have potential.

Overall, these jerseys are bad. Nothing will ever top the ugliness of these Christmas unis from 2013, but these come close.

  2. Didn’t really like any of them. The Blazers one is just straight brown. There is no brown in their color scheme, and it’s the only color. Out of those I liked the Pelicans ones the most, but not much. That’s a Saints logo, which is more identifiable with New Orleans than a bird.
