    This might get me more hate than anything I post in the OT forum, but... I don't really disagree. The 1977 uniforms are iconic, but I hate them when I'm not being sentimental. I think they're really ugly.

    Telfair era was worse, imo.

    Although I really wish they'd bring back the jerseys that they used like... once?

    I have a Zbo jersey like the white Telfair one you posted, it's fresh. I also had that black Telfair jersey, but as I mentioned it went to Goodwill...

    completely agree....and personally I like the Magic's pinstriped Orlando jerseys...they got the Philly shooting stars and the Suns right though....those are butt ugly,,,my very worst jersey vote goes to the Spurs camo unis....they look horrible to me

    I think those unis would have looked really good if not for the number on the front.

    Wanna know why sexism exists? I loaded the article, scrolled down to number six and read something like "I have no idea what rip city even means" and figured it was written by a woman.

    Sorry...I know I'm the bad guy but whatever.

    I don't think most non-Portland fans, male or female, have any idea what "Rip City" means.

    The fact that the author's name is listed as Julia Statham might be a clue. I don't care about gender, but being too lazy to do a simple google search on the meaning of ripcity kind of puts me in a nagarive mindset about the author. Regarding her opinion on the Walton-era uniforms, most any graphic designer (my wife is one) will tell you that stacked vertical text and lack of capitalization are no-nos.

    Didn't read her name. Loaded the page and scrolled directly to number six that was referred to by the OP.

    Read it, knew it was a woman and scrolled back up for confirmation.

    If you can't pick out Asian women drivers at at least an 80 percent rate you're just not very aware of the world.

    A man would have just googled rip city instead of admitting not knowing what it meant.

    Duh

    But... It doesn't really means anything




    (And at the same time it means everything)
