Brooklyn Nets release Remix alternate uniforms

The Brooklyn Nets have unveiled another alternate uniform, and they’ve returned to gray with their latest foray into the alternate uniform spectrum. It’s also a return to an old look of theirs, and the team has dubbed it as their “Remix” alternate uniform.

The uniform is a modern take on the popular uniforms that the team wore until the 1990-91 season, and it’s also a progression of the sleeved alternates that the team unveiled in 2015. Here’s further explanation from the team’s press release:

Reminiscent of the ’84-‘90 uniforms, the jerseys have a white NETS word mark across the chest and BROOKLYN down the left side. This marks the first time the team has worn both ‘Brooklyn’ and ‘Nets’ together on its jerseys.
The uniforms also feature five graphite stars on a white background, three down the side of the jersey and two down the side of the shorts, dually representing the team’s fifth season in Brooklyn, and the five decades of the franchise.
“The Brooklyn Remix uniforms represent a fusion of the past and the present,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment. “By combining elements from the team’s most iconic uniforms, we’ve created a modernized look that emphasizes our heritage and defines today’s lifestyle brand.”

In my opinion, gray — ahem, graphite — is a strange choice. I would’ve stuck with the black-and-white color scheme, and it just seems like they’re using gray for gray’s sake in this regard. Also, putting “Brooklyn” on the black stripe seems like it’s just cluttering the uniform. This could’ve been a great alternate, but instead it’s just “meh.” I do enjoy the detail on the stars, though. That was a very nice touch.

What do you all think of these new alternates from the Nets? Did they do a good job of remixing a classic, or should they have left it alone?
