Uniform Tournament Round 1: Basketball Bracket

Below is a review on each jersey. Vote in the right column. (Click on the links to see a picture of the jerseys.)


Game 1
1. Golden State Warriors
I have read plenty of uniform reviews that call this the greatest jersey in NBA history. The photo shows a Jason Richardson throwback version of the actual 1966-67 original. The original jerseys didn't have last names on them which looks better. I love the symbols of "The City" with the bridge and the trolley. Altough maybe #6 fits better with the San Fransisco part of the bay area.





8. Cleveland Cavaliers
I'm a huge fan of this color combo: orange, baby blue, and black. The jersey shown is a Shawn Kemp jersey which adds extra points (and kids). I think LeBron should use his global icon status to change those ugly things they wear now back to these. Tell me, you wouldn't buy this thing in 23 if you could! I think this could be a dark-horse in the tourney.





Game 2
2. North Carolina Tarheels
This is a classic design that is fairly contemporary. This is my favorite color so maybe I'm a little biased, but I don't care. The argyle design on the side tops it off. I prefer this 1997 jersey over the new "sleek" design.







7. Kentucky Wildcats
Of course I'm biased as a Kentucky fan but these are incredible. You can't buy them as a throwback, which is rediculous. Why doesn't Converse want to make money? As far as I know they are the only denim jerseys ever. It also helps they were worn by the greatest college basketball team ever. I remember the tag line: There's Venom in the Denim. Kind of dumb, but I still like the jerseys.





Game 3
3. Washington Bullets
Its really stupid that they changed their names to the Wizards. Why did they ever change from this jersey? The new gold ones are as ugly as can be. This jersey also gets extra points for being the one of the jerseys that Maurice Clarett stole in the first of his many run-ins with the law.




6. Denver Nuggets
Are these jerseys a funky retro style or just gay? I'm still trying to decide.







Game 4
4. Orlando Magic (Alternate)
Remember when Shaq and Penny were the biggest thing in sports? It always seems like teams try to bank on having the big thing with new jerseys (see LeBron and Carmelo). These jerseys were incredible and went perfectly with my favorite shoe.






5. Atlanta Hawks
I didn't know about these jerseys until I played NBA Street and I picked up Pistol Pete. It's amazing that the jersey actually said "Pistol" on the back of them. Now-a-days you can't even have a team named the Bullets.
