Re: Changing team colors?
I've been waiting for many years for a pink and yellow team. The touch I would add would be the purple feather where dogs have tails. I can't decide on the hat, maybe that should be the player's choice, but Stern hates giving the players any choice, like banning the necklaces they wore in the 70s. I personally go for the Walton Davy Crockett raccoon hat with the fur hanging down my hairy naked back. To intimidate the other team with our height, our liberal players could wear the Abe Lincoln top hat, while our many conservatives could wear the John Wayne 10 gallon hat.

Changing the colors is a gimmick that teams that are stupid do. The Lakers don't change colors. The Celtics don't change colors. The Bulls don't. The Knicks don't.
The Blazers shouldn't.

Well said! While there have been design changes over the years, the colors - Red, Black and White have remained the same. Let's keep it that way. If it ain't broke don't try and fix it. Moreover, don't try to justify something that isn't at all necessary.

Re: Changing team colors?
If they are going to change colors simply get rid of the silver lining.
Portland's colors should be scarlet, black and white. If anything tinker with the design and get rid of the font and design of Blazers across the chest. If the team changed colors it would be stupid

If you were pressed, what color scheme would you choose? I think Black/Green/Yellow would look pretty sweet.

Black Green and Yellow?!?!? Gross.
NEVER change our colors. That is absolutely pointless.

Yea, that is exactly what i was saying in my first post. Those uni's are sick. I wish we would actually go back to those full time, except with long shorts.
Red away and white home, i think would be sick as hell...
I wish we would at least wear them sometimes...

Re: Changing team colors?
the color combo i see at work everyday is pretty sweet Flat Gold and almost midnight/royal navy blue its a great combo.
I love our colors dont ever change them but for our nfl/nhl/mlb got for the flat gold(not the nasty shiny gold of the bullet...er wiZZnards).
I love the first two versions of our uniforms maybe the could update them, update the walton era ones like i have done earlier in the thread and use the 70s as our alts. HA looked great in the 1970 version with modern materials...those uniforms looked so fresh and better than our current ones.

Re: Changing team colors?
As a person who's not a fan of the Blazers, I'd even hate it if you guys changed your team colors.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: Changing team colors?
A few years back the team had a hardwood classic night. They were the Lenny Wilkins one. Any pictures?

I agree. By changing the color scheme, the team inherits a whole new identity and that's normally not the greatest of ideas. Look at the nuggets. They've been viewed as defensive slacking thuggish individuals ever since adopting the powder blue uniforms. The Hawks have been terrible since adopting new uniforms and there's definitely a poor connotation of them by the fans. They can't sell for anything. I hardly ever like the new uniforms anyway.

I went to that game. It was such a clean feeling. I can't describe it, but the uniforms looked cleaner and brighter, the team looked better, and honest to god, I felt like
