    What better way to go out than with new uniforms for the last game of the regular season?

    Which in a way would be kicking off the start of the new (playoff) season!

    Well they're getting Nikes next year as is. A good time as any to get a refresh. We've had this exact same look for nearly 15 years.

    Who cares HOW long we've had the same look. Just look around the league, we have arguably the cleanest most solid and best designed unis/logo around. Can you imagine if our team joined that horrid mid 90s cartoon craze, where everything looked like it was designed by the Cartoon Network?

    Agreed, but just a slight refresh would do wonders. All fonts need to go to what's on the RIPCITY jerseys, and the pinwheel needs to start standing alone without that crap in the background. Although straightening it out would be great, it's not a must as long as we get rid of that rectangle that surrounds it.

    I want to see what the redesign looks like. And who our corporate sponsor will be.

    the redesign of the red jersy was kinda hated at the time if i remember, but the new pointy stripes have grown on me a little.

    i think EVERYONE agrees that the rip city font, or the old school font is the way to go though, that shit is dope.

    I dunno man, I really want to make the pinwheel look angry, fierce, and EXTREME!!! Maybe half of it can be cast in shadow! BADASS!

    I think I hate the tapered stripes more than the tilting of the pinwheel. I dunno. Both need to be rectified, but if we could change only one I think I'd probably choose to un-taper the fingers of the pinwheel.

    A soft, subtle change would be the best way to go. There are uniforms that teams have gone with (The Pistons horsey change was hideous, the Raptors original uniforms are vomit worthy, the 76ers weird star inspired uniforms made people want to poke their eyes out with rusty needle nose pliers) that were huge mistakes.

    other small changes were great. Utah had a great uniform change a while ago. The Sonics had a few neat ones too. Why change (completely) what isn't broken?

    sorry, i meant the pointy stripes on the jersey, not the pinwheel. the new pinwheel blows in pretty much every way.

    I've grown to like the red uniforms the best, with the Rip City ones a close second.

    Agree about the pinwheel being untilted, and I've noticed a lot of stuff they've been selling/shilling has been with the logo as it originally was. I wonder if it's a pre-curser?

    The red numbers/letters are much better visually than the white, imho.

    Our alternate reds are fire. I would be happy if they just changed the regular home and away jerseys to match the aesthetic of the red alternates.
