Here’s another reminder that the inevitable day is about to arrive pretty soon. There were already a couple of NBA teams who were getting ready for this watershed moment in North American uniform history, but a pretty huge domino in the uniform world has fallen now. The Boston Celtics are

The NBA should make color-on-color matchups official
If you’ve watched your fair share of basketball for the past couple of years (and this year in particular), you’ve probably noticed that the NBA has gotten a little lax about the home team wearing white at home and colors on the road. It’s not just the teams with “trendy”
Oklahoma City Thunder quietly drop navy alternates
The sea of “interesting” — if not flat-out ugly — NBA alternate uniforms just lost one of its biggest fish. Per Erik Horne of The Oklahoman, the Thunder have decided that it’s time to drop their navy alternate from their rather diverse set of uniforms. As a result, the Thunder
Golden State Warriors muddy up two eras with Crossover uniforms
The Golden State Warriors don’t exactly have the best alternate uniforms in the NBA (aside from their lovely throwbacks, which they go all-out for), so there wasn’t exactly much clamor for the Warriors to come out with new alternates. However, there were indeed rumors that the Warriors would have an
Cleveland Cavaliers will play on new court design in 2016-17
After breaking the city of Cleveland’s excruciatingly-long championship drought with an NBA title this past Summer, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing on a new court design. As you can see, the sidelines/baselines are now mostly black, instead of the navy perimeter that they went with ever since LeBron’s return
Indiana Pacers will continue wearing “Hickory” uniforms in 2016-17
Last season, the Indiana Pacers unveiled one of the most unique alternate uniforms in NBA history — uniforms that were inspired by the uniforms that the protagonists wore in the iconic basketball movie “Hoosiers.” If you were a fan of these unique “throwback” uniforms, then we’ve got good news to
Philadelphia 76ers will celebrate 1967 NBA Champions with throwbacks and alt court
It’s September, which apparently means that it’s time for NBA teams to start coming out with new alternate uniforms. Yesterday saw the Brooklyn Nets release their “Remix” alternates, then the Memphis Grizzlies unveiled alternate uniforms in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Now, the Philadelphia 76ers have announced that they
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
Orlando Magic will wear “Stars” alternate jersey for 2016-17 season
The Orlando Magic are already in possession of one of the least-appealing jerseys in the NBA — their sleeved gray alternates are probably better suited as a flashy pajama outfit than as a basketball uniform. However, the team may have “topped” those gray alts with their latest offering in the
The Minnesota Timberwolves are probably headed for a rebrand
Other than a significant tweak/update to their primary logo ahead of the 2008-09 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have had the same look and color scheme since the 1996-97 season. Unless you’re a blueblood team like the Lakers, Celtics, or Bulls, having the same identity for two decades is an eternity
LeBron James wears wrong shorts
One of the many pratfalls of having multiple alternate uniforms that are the same color is the possibility that one of the players could come out wearing the wrong gear. We’ve seen it multiple times in the past, but the latest victim is probably the highest-profile victim of the ol’
