    Am I the only one that is concerned that the "Statement" jersey eliminates white? I'm sure the statement wasn't supposed to be "Go home whitey" given Portland's strongly melanin-impaired fan base. And I do agree that the main issue I see is the "red" color is off.

    Eliminating white is what makes the "statement". It's literally the only thing they did right with these. Adding white would eliminate the effect they are trying to achieve. You add that in and these are worse, not better. The other issues would still be present, and they'd be highlighted by the addition of white. Fix the details, don't make wholesale changes that completely undermine the raison d'etre of these unis. These aren't our mains - they are meant to be different.

    They're like the terrible Niner jerseys except with the red and black reversed.

    People need to just stop saying things like:

    Let's go back to the old uniforms.

    Cause it ain't never gonna happen.

    These are inspired by the players supposedly right? They remind me of sports cars or Trucks that are "blacked" out trim wise, something the players seem to be pretty in to looks wise. I dig em, I get that people are resistant to change and all that but I suspect once they seem them on the floor a couple times most people will actually like them.

    To celebrate Dr. Jack, like the blurb says... seems good to me.

    We would have to get rid of Blaze the trail cat and replace him with that guy who rides the unicycle in a Darth Vader helmet playing bagpipes.



    Actually, that's a really good idea.
