    Replace the multicolored mountain range (or whatever it is) with plaid and I'm sold. Like these old UNC unis, only in autumn colors:

    A miss. Nothing about that jersey screams "Portland Trail Blazers" or "Rip City." The lack of team colors is a negative because we have such a strong palette. And, aside from the logo on the shorts, there's nothing that indicates this is a Trail Blazers uniform.

    We had the best City Edition jerseys in the league last year and an overall strong history with design ... this feels forced. Blame Nike and the NBA for mandating teams design new city jerseys every year. I think that's leading to designers reaching on a lot of concepts. We have incredibly designed city jerseys over the past three years, so the bar was extremely high. I would have pulled a Utah Jazz and said to hell with it, we're keeping this design permanent (in regards to last year's look).

    At least I'll be saving $100+ dollars on not purchasing one!

    I went to the Trailblazers site. They explain all the features (Honoring the Tribal Peoples of Oregon), and the colors(Natural colors of Landscape), Oregon( from the Portland sign). You can really see the geographical print. Growing on me for sure. I Love the Blazers. We all aren't going to like everything they put out there merch-wise. But hey, different strokes......

    In all the years I've see the Oregon sign, I've never noticed the g is cut off. Why?

    Funny that it's the "City Edition" - but it just says Oregon on it...

    Am making assumptions here, but, it used to be the White Stag clothing company, and their logo or type or whatever has the g cut off like that. So maybe when they switched it to made in Oregon, they decided to pay homage to the original?

    I’ll confess that I never noticed the missing tail on the g either. I think the brain just fills in the missing information.

    I don't get it, why take Portland's name off the jersey when they're going to make them tear gas color?

    I get the significance and honoring the tribes is legit cool.

    But why no green?! Oregon has quite possibly the most lush vegetation in the country.
