Super Cool Beas Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 CONCEPT: Tournament style competition to determine the best NBA uniform set as voted on by the OTR Community. Upon grading each team, division by division, the Finals will take place in the form of a final bracket. Seeding for finals will be based off of overall grades. Finals match-ups will be in the form of a polls. Put it this way, if your lost...just watch how it works.RULES: Carefully study each team's uniform set. Grade each uniform set on a scale of 1 (low) - 10. Grades should be based on color scheme, creativity, relevance, originality, attractiveness and marketing. Scores from each member will be compiled, tallied and a final grade given to each team. Grade will determine division rankings and seeding for the finals bracket. DEADLINE: We'll say 48 hours from the time of first post. A new division will be posted a day. NOTE: Done this before with NFL teams and it was a success. The key to making this work is obviously the more involved the better but discussion, campaigning, debating is absolutely required. Lastly...if your a homer, fine, but lets maintain some integrity here.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ATLANTIC DIVISION UNIFORMS http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4319/bos1.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cool Beas Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'll start off the voting...show everyone what I am looking for... Boston Celtics Nothing I love more than the timeless classics and this look is a timeless classic. I also love how the Celtics have found ways to add to their classic look w/o going overboard. Final Grade: 8New Jersey NetsI'd go as far as saying the Nets look of the Ed O'Bannon era is more favorable than this. Never been a fan of their lame logo, the lame attempt at incorporating silver into their design and I really despise the diamond cross-hatch going down the panels. I look forward to this team moving to Brooklyn as a new uniform design will most likely come with it.Final Grade: 3 New York KnicksAnother one of those timeless classics I've already talked about. Blue and orange has to be one of favorite color combos and it looks great on the Knicks uni's...which is about the only thing that looks good coming out MSG these days. -1 for not doing anything other than doing the all-green thing for an alternate.Final Grade: 7 Philadelphia 76ersJust as the black uniforms grew on me, the Sixers attempt to turn back the clock...or not. I love the idea but hate the design. The 76ers did right by re-adopting their old school logo and color scheme but really dropped the ball in trying their hand at the whole old-but-new look. An outline around the "Sixers" and numbers would be a huge improvement.Final Grade: 4 Toronto RaptorsNot a big fan of most of the newer age outfits but I don't mind the Raptors look as much. The Raptors have come a long way since those hideous rags they wore when they debuted their franchise but I will say shame on them for ditching the purple. Purple may not be the most masculine of colors but they should of stuck with what they invented themselves as back when. Those all black alts are pretty nasty.Final Grade: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Boston - 3 - It's too bland for me. The colors don't look disgusting or anything at least.New Jersey - 2 - The White looks just sort of OK, and the Red/Pink is awful.New York - 6 - The Blue and Black looks good, and the White is OK.Philly - 3 - First one looks alright, the second one is plain ugly.Toronto - 8 - First one is decent, second one is pretty cool, and the black ones look just awesome. Edit: Changed NJ's rating thanks to Universe's new piece of info. Edited October 16, 2009 by Poe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Boston Celtics I hate the Celtic uniforms everything about them. I might be a little biased but I dont give a [expletive]. [expletive] the Celtics. Final Grade: 3 New Jersey NetsI like the all white home uniforms for the Nets, but not a big fan of the other two. They definitly need to incorporate a new design for the uniforms in my opinion.Final Grade: 5 New York KnicksI love the color combination of the uniforms, real retro. The home uniforms are one of my favorites. Final Grade: 6 Philadelphia 76ersI love the idea but hate the design.Not a big fan of the old school look definitly needs some polishing.Final Grade: 4 Toronto RaptorsI absolutly hate purple for uniforms unless its the Minnesota Vikings. The black away jerseys are nice, but outside of that I'm not a big fan.Final Grade: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
