New Hawks jerseys

Wed Jun 24, 2015 10:36 pm

I had read about the Hawks getting new Jerseys and didn't really think it was needed but what they pulled out of their ass is to me worse than the Clippers rebrand jerseys.

Jesus. Neon green with black and red?

Well...they're different, I'll give them that. For all the hate that the jerseys of the mid to late 90s get, I think they were far better than some of the designs we're seeing right now. From designs that are bit too outdated (Bucks) to interesting but weird designs (these Hawks jerseys) to the downright uninspired and terrible (Clippers), I think this might be one of the worst eras for uniforms. The 76ers' new designs are probably the best of the recent bunch, and while I do like them, parts of the design are a bit too old school in an outdated kind of way in my opinion.

As for the Hawks jerseys, though...the green is probably the worst thing about them, it looks odd and out of place. The triangle texture is a bit different and that's kind of cool, and I like how they're trying to incorporate some of the colours from older designs (which is why the green is there, I imagine), but...kinda weird.

It might be good if they had the right color combinations. The triangular pattern makes it look an NCAA jersey but I hope it will grow on me.

In before anyone says it... ILLUMINATI!!!

Are those embossed (the black kit seems to look like it is) or is it just like those T-Mac era Magic jerseys? The black and red kits looks alright while the white one seems needing some trims to make it less bland...

Agreed. Aside from the green, the black and red jerseys are fine, but the home white feels too plain.

I reckon, after taking a closer look, it isn't green but pale yellow... It makes more sense, for their current scheme, if those are yellow (though as you said they've used green back then)...

Right again; a slightly different yellow to the one they were using in the late 90s/early 2000s, unless my monitor needs adjusting. Something about it doesn't seem quite right, at any rate.

Welp, at least it doesn't look as bad as the Clippers'. That yellow/green tint is bugging me off. Either that or the picture is really low res

They look awesome to me. I hope someone mods these into 2k15

Better look at the yellow, and it doesn't look quite as bad in that shot. Still don't love them, but with a better look at the colours, they're not as bad as I thought at first glance.

The red and especially the white jersey reminds me of McDonald's or am I just hungry?

Its officially called Volt Green. But i like how it looks yellow. The fans actually wanted yellow.

It looks good with the home jersey but the away one is just weird.

Looks better than these blue and red uniforms. The black one is astonishing.

meh, something different at least.......

....maybe too different

Re: New Hawks jerseys

Yeah, I don't care for the mixing and matching. I hope they don't actually do that. I mean, it's a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, but it's just a weird look.

I actually like these, especially the triangles. I'm glad they finally did away with the navy blue.

The red top and black shorts doesn't look too bad but I don't like it the other way around.
