    The only place "Rip City" should be written is on the back of the shorts, one word on each cheek... (Would add some nice double meaning, too.) Increase the female viewership!

    The red ones look good, but the regular stripes down the side would be an improvement over the b&w, IMO.

    They are only going to be used sparingly via twitter

    I really hate the look of the replica jerseys they sell where the shoulders part is so damn wide compared to what the jersey actually looks like. That looks dumb.

    Geez guys, I haven't read anything anywhere that says these will be used for regular season games. I suspect the Rip City jerseys will be used for the preseason game Schonley is calling at the MC- as it seems to fit with the occasion. But, I doubt if they will ever be used for a real, regular season game.

    The red retro look ones might get used a couple times. The NBA seems to love doing this (retro night) once or twice a year to help boost merchandise sales.

    I like the red retro jerseys, but the white Rip City ones are going to take some getting used to.

    I also agree with the sentiment that the wide shoulders is a terrible idea.

    the wide shoulders are only for the replicas..all replicas for some reason have the wide shoulder

    My take on 1974's

    actually, it's 75, not 74. It's just that NBA.com wrote it kind of strange. It says the Blazers took Walton in 74 (and that's the subject heading here). But then it says "the following year" they changed it.

    The vertical "Blazers" uniform was introduced first in 75-76.

    Not that it's a huge issue

    Too many competing objects IMO.

    For instance, the Cav's throwbacks (maroon) are super busy but it all flows together.

    Here we've got 2 different fonts that come nowhere near matching (in Era or treatment), heavy 2 tone stripes on the arms and neck, the NEWER pin wheel (Even though it's the old script rip city), flat 1 layered twill "rip city" but 3 layered twill names and numbers with silver and then stuff all over the side panels.

    "Rip City" Is clean, horizontal and straight, then you've got the pinwheel, name & numbers and side panels all running with an angle.

    There's stuff going all different directions.

    I almost like it, but there's all these little things that add up to make it just look off IMO.

    I hope the red uni's are a permanent road (alt) uni.

    The Cavs introduced their retro uni's and eventually stuck with them on a permanent (alternative) road jersey.

    How is "Rip City" any worse than "The City" jerseys the Warriors wear?
