ATL Hawks new uni's. Thoughts?

That highlighter/puke yellow combo is the only thing I don't like.

I like the pattern/design otherwise of the black and red. The white is despicable.

These look like ‘90s hip hop style jerseys.
Fits Atlanta, I guess.

They tried to be cutting edge and fell flat.

I don't mind a modern look. This looks like they grabbed a 90's jersey, almost sent it to press, and said "Oh wait!! We forgot to put some Seahawks on it!"

One of the Hawks' people (I believe) said something to the effect of "People over 30 are gonna hate it. People under 30 are gonna love it." I totally disagree. I love the idea of a modern look in unis. But this was just bad execution. Bad color palette, bad style hits all over the jersey.

Saw someone online (can't remember who) that made a good point. There is a difference between great design (which can be timeless) and great fashion (which can be out of style super quickly). This is fashion. And not even really good fashion.

I am not completely sold on the colors, but at least they don't look so generic. I don't hate it.

I agree....the colors (the lime green??) are a bit iffy. But I hate how jerseys seem to be going super generic - look at the new clips uniforms, and I'm not exactly thrilled with how the Cavs unis look either.

The ATL would be better is the weird indent was the negative space Hawk like their primary Pac-man logo.

here's a pic with the shorts. i DO like the socks, can't wait to see how ours look with our uniforms.

I really like the red and black ones, should have just stuck with yellow not puke

 

[Splitz]

I like them. The Hawks will look great getting beat by the Cavs while wearing them.

Worst in the NBA, see Clippers, they have a logo that kindergartners drew up, and that already takes the cake.

These Hawks threads are something different. Black jerseys are always something good to have.

It's mainly just the pattern throwing me off, but its different.

Yeah I missed the Clips reveal, so here it is for those who may have missed it.

I could have taken a dump and smeared it around the front of the jersey and still done better than the Clippers.....

 

[Homestar]

I actually like the Hawks uniforms. I just don't understand the weird neon green choice.

Atlanta once made this happen:

And this happened the same year:

Never be surprised when The Atlanta Hawks marketing team gets all feisty and creative.

Hawks killed it from the 80's till '99.... But this is just terrible.

The Clippers situation is great cause it's the Clippers... In fact, they should have made their jerseys Purple and Gold to really screw it up...

I always LOVE when teams change up uniforms, add new alts, and everything like that. The new designs always give a breath of fresh air to whatever team wears them.













These fucking suck.

Look at the bright side... Will will never have to see them in the NBA finals.
