NO NO NO NO NO. Portland has some of the best uniforms in the league. Classy retro looking, while still modern looking. very awesome design, no need to make any changes, if they want to add a new alternate.. fine whatever. but dont change the primary ones.
You don't mess with something as iconic as our unis. You can change the colors and remove the numbers, letters and logo and people would still say "Blazer uniform style". If I went any direction, I'd go backward to the old lowercase design, but that's about it.
I want to see an alternate jersey (maybe a dark gray/charcoal with red/white trim and numbers), but keep the same theme for our primary jerseys. I don't want to be like the Cavs and have 85 different jerseys. -Pop
I could see the dark gray one as an alternate.. but yes keep the primary jerseys! and I agree on the Cavs comment.. although as a Duck fan I'm not sure why I am so upset by the 85 Jersey combinations lol.
I remember reading something about 4 teams keeping their uniform style basically the same throughout history.. I think the Blazers, Lakers, Spurs, and Knicks... not bad company to be in history wise in the nba
Hey I'm a Duck fan too, and that's part of it. Blazers are different. Tradition reigns supreme with their look. -Pop
I'm all for going back to the lowercase old style lettering. Just please keep the stripes and the pinwheel theme. Do not do anything generic like the new jerseys in Memphis, Utah, Atlanta, Toronto, etc.
Yeah I think thats probably it.. Tradition. It was ok to change the Duck uni's cause there wasnt so much tradition that we had to hold onto lol.
I'm totally down with the lower case lettering, and would be extra happy if we could turn the pinwheel straight up again. I've never liked it leaning on its side. In fact, most of the gear I buy is of the retro look becuase I prefer the pinwheel as it originally was.
I'd like to say how proud I am of the Duck fans posting in this thread that they're not promoting the idea of diamond plate on the Blazer unis.
celtics and bulls have kept pretty much the same style as well. it would be a big mistake to do anything drastic. i agree with everyone else, the colors, pinwheel and diagonal stripes have to stay and i wouldnt mind bringing back the lower case lettering and straight pinwheel.
Don't see how they're going to pull off another alternate. It'd be kind of pointless to make a different red one, and charcoal would be way too close to the black uniform (unless they for whatever reason ditched the black and made the current red uniform the primary road). Silver would be way too gaudy. Don't know what other direction they can go.
If the Ducks keep getting top 15/top 20 recruiting classes and consistently finish in the top 10 in the country, they can put pink flowers on the damn things. I'm not a huge fan of the diamond plating, but I also realize I'm not the guy who is being recruited. They are targeting 15-18 year old kids, and you can't argue with the results so far. I'm perfectly happy with the Blazers keeping the tradition. But I also appreciate the innovation at UO. -Pop
If this was the color split (new uni color on the left, original blacks on the right), I think the dark gray/charcoal ones could look different enough from the black uni. -Pop
Hmm, why is the organization so secretive about new uniforms. Is it because the new unis will say "Seattle" on the front?
