Kings uniforms in the news!

The front office might not get us other things we want, but this, at least, they can fix. From an article on the worst uniforms in NBA history:

Tom Ziller: It goes without saying, but still needs to be mentioned: The Kings' recent gold alternate jersey is the most hideous thing on the planet. I guarantee the swatch was labeled 'cat vomit.' At least Washington's iffy gold unis have a bit of sparkle and glam, kinda 'fabulous' -- the Sacramento ones look like the gastrointestinal results of Bollywood's Supersize Me. Not to mention the overall paleness of Sacramento's stars, which makes things even worse. "Hmm... what's the worst possible shade of tan we could throw on Mike Bibby's back? There it is!" And there wasn't even kitschy justification for its debut in 2006 -- it was the team's 21st anniversary in Sacramento. Couldn't they have gone with the flashing neon logo instead?

This really isnt news...its a post on a blog, not anything from the Kings organization...I doubt we see anything different as far as uniforms go, at least in the next couple seasons.
 
No the Mavericks, alternate silver foil unis were the ugliest. They wore them once, and were flooded with "hate" mail. They were absolutely, hands-down among the worst I have ever seen. There's a picture at this website, but it doesn't come close to showing the true horror of them.

And from another site: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_20031109/ai_n11430962

Mavs wore shiny, silver road uniforms in their season-opener, prompting a flood of negative e-mails and subsequent shelving of the ugly outfits. "Thank you, Mark Cuban, for killing those jerseys," said Charles Barkley. "Those things are only good for waxing and washing stuff."

Yeah, I thought those things looked like big pieces of Reynolds Wrap with 'Dallas' written accross. NOT cool!

edit: But those uniforms were WAY better than the Goldmember Kings uni's.

As much as I didn't care for the gold unis, I thought those silver abominations were way worse. Reminded of the sterotype of the people who wrap themselves in aluminum foil to protect themselves from alien mind control. Except uglier. :p

Yeah, but at least you didnt have Goldmember flashbacks...I mean, it was a funny character, but damn, all they needed was the matching jock protector thingy and it would have been dead on Goldmember.:D I mean, its bad enough that our point guard resembles Mini Me.
 
Sheesh, what's the big deal with the gold unis. I don't see anything really wrong with them (but then I also think that Pistons teal jerseys were kind of interesting, so what do I know).
 
we have the worst uniforms in the leauge period. home, away or alternate. THEY SUCK. back to black or switch up the styles. do something.
 
I think I am the only person on the planet that didn't despise those Mavs jerseys.

I thought they were very interesting, enough so to make them pretty cool looking.

:p

Ditto. I don't think they looked that bad.

But then again I am partially colorblind (red-green deficient). What do I know? ;)

yeah, I say why not switch uni's in some sort, we lost alot of games last year, its time for a fresh start all around...new coach, new direction, new look!
 
Hey, they dissed the Nuggets' rainbow jerseys. Those were cool. :D

I think the worst current jerseys belong to the Jazz. They're just so boring.

There were plenty of worst all-time jerseys in the mid-nineties.

The awful Rockets pinstripes:

Teal Vancouver jersey, with the cartoonish "Grizzlies" on the front:

Atlanta jersey, with the garguntuan hawk on the front:

Cleveland Cavaliers: what the HELL is this?

This Milwaukee jersey is also a keeper:

Its funny, my fav era of jerseys was the mid-late 90s when they all had big logos taking up the whole front side...i love all the ones you posted besides the cavs, i have no clue why they did that one, i dont really like the current jerseys in the NBA, they pretty much did away with big logos and they are pretty plain now.
 
I can see kitsch value in those jerseys, but actually wearing one? Ew! :p

I don't think the new Hawks or Rockets jerseys are much better, actually. I hate the rings around the arms on the Rockets jerseys, and I will say that the Hawks jerseys are boring. The same with the Jazz, Pacers, Nets, Clippers, Magic (their old jerseys circa the T-Mac era were nice) and Hornets (whose color schemes are disgusting!).

My favorite jerseys are generally ones that keep it simple, but still stylish: Spurs, Knicks, Heat, Bulls, Pistons, and (gulp) Lakers. Other jerseys which I think are a bit flashier, but still nice are the Warriors and Timberwolves. (The lightning-bolt Warriors jerseys of the late nineties would be another on my list of worst of all-time, though!)

Jerseys which I think are too cartoonish are Wizards, Suns, Bucks, Mavericks, and unfortunately the Kings. I just think they look cheap. I know that the league won't let the Kings wear black jerseys, but the '94 - '02 jerseys in a dark purple would easily beat the current duds.
