Re: Changing team colors?
If Portland was changing unis for next season, the uniform/logo change would have been submitted and approved already by the league. And since KP hinted at it last season, we should definitely posit this as a question to him. There should be no uncertainty about it at this point.

Yeah.. Brown and Green would be ideal.. They could embroider a few ferns onto their shorts.. Lets have the players look like they just got tangled up in a bunch of twigs and leaves and flopped around in the mud.
In fact, let's make the uniforms out of hemp, since there's a strong constituency of hippies in the beautiful northwest.
or...
We could leave well enough alone and stick with the colors that fans know and love. Red, black, and white. It bugs me they're even flirting with this idea.

The first one showed up. I don't really remember those, but they kind of look like those late 80's hyper color shirts. LoL.

Re: Changing team colors?
Leave 'em! The Blazers' color scheme and uniforms are one of the best in the league, always have been!

Re: Changing team colors?
I like the idea of the throwback jerseys from the 70's with the Blazers names on them. A lot of other teams like the heat and Lakers were wearing there old jerseys this year, why not the Blazers? I do like the red away jerseys a lot too.

Re: Changing team colors?
This to me, is the most aesthetically pleasing uniforms the Blazers ever had. This one was of the first two generations. There subtle changes, but like the first generations of the Corvette, there were 2 sub-generations of the Blazers uniforms from 70-75.

Those old school jerseys are the best ever! I wish they would use those as an alternate!

Re: Changing team colors?
I'd hate to change colors. Ours are sweet the way it is. I wouldn't mind though using that Lenny Wilkens jersey as an alternate. Those are even sweeter! How hard is it to propose that, or just have a throwback night?
The Lakers wear their throwbacks sometimes, and the Knicks I think.
And those tie-dyed Nets unis are just plain awful.

Re: Changing team colors?
They just got done repainting the Garden interior to match the team colors. The arena seating is red and black. Half the teams in the league now have red or black alternate jerseys. There's no way they're going to change that color scheme.
