The brighter colours looks great – even if the Wizards are just another blue and red team. My only complaint is the “gold” trim, specifically that it isn’t gold, it looks more like a muddy orange to be honest, and it spoils the jersey for me. If they wanted gold they would have been better with a brighter tone like on the Raptors jersey – in fact, maybe even swap all the white on this jersey for a bright gold.
This is a winner, the fiesta colours! So nice that this is what we got and not something featuring a camo pattern (which I was fearing). Two things I would change though, I’d love to see the fiesta colours on a black jersey, and it would have been good to see something other than the usual Spurs logo on the chest – I’d have gone for the arched “San Antonio” from their 70s/80s jerseys.
The overall design is good, aside from one major thing. Yeah, we get it Orlando has oranges, but the colour makes no sense for their jerseys. These really do look like someone accidentally inverted the colours in the artwork file before they sent it off to manufacturing – seriously, invert it and the black/orange becomes white/blue and looks a millions times better.
They had a wide open shot and and they air-balled it. Where they could have served up a delightful Sonics-inspired jersey celebrating their origins and won everyone over, they instead give us what looks like a blank template that someone forgot to colour in. Making things worse, the Love’s logo is even more awful when it is the only piece of colour in sight.
Wow, such creativity. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is just one of their regular jerseys. Obviously its a bit difficult to include anything relating to their time as the Hornets given the name, and history reverted back to Charlotte after they re-entered the league. Maybe throw in the Mardi Gras colours?
