Basketball is the most entertaining sport ever created. That being said, one of my biggest complaints about the NBA is one of the most childish you will ever hear: the uniforms don't look as cool as they used to. I know teams feel like they need to keep up with the times, and updating your club's jersey is a viable way to do so. And a fan that judges a team based on their jersey is a fan you do not want. But cool looking jerseys ARE awesome. I especially like the ones with the football uniform numbers. Not those bitch-ass Cincinnati Bengals jersey numbers. I'm talking Jets, Giants, basically every other team in the league. And we're off:
Detroit Pistons: What is this? Chauncey Billups is number rectangle? Oh, that's a ONE.

They used to look cool in the 80s:

Houston Rockets: Jesus these are bad. The rings are ridiculous. The numbers are disgusting.
These 80s/early 90s joints are fire:
Dallas Mavericks: I don't even need to say anything anymore.
Peep the throwback: (this was only 1999! Mark Cuban, do something about this.)
New York Knicks: This isn't bad
per se, but you don't need all that extra shit.

See what I mean?

Phoenix Suns: Great team, shit uniforms. The away ones look even more ridiculous.

That's a far cry from this simplistic beauty:


Philadelphia 76ers: Eww.
Throwback:
Golden State Warriors:

Throwback:

Washington Wizards: Because "Washington Bullets" works on so many levels.

These days changing the name back to the Bullets would take nothing short of a fucking miracle, but you could at least change the uniforms. Plus Gil would love it

Indiana Pacers:
Throwback:

Oh and another thing: for a while in the mid-late 90s, the shoes NBA players wore looked like complete shit. More on this later (maybe).
