The Hawks rep their city with these cool red unis. The huge ATL lettering fits this team and these uniforms have been worn on the road in the playoffs the past two years. They followed in the Sun's footsteps with these and Josh Smith and the Hawks have now passed up Phoenix in the uniform category.
Boston is a franchise that may be too old-school for an alternate uniform, but this one works well. The black is cool and adds a third color to the mix. They may not be worn very often, but fans appreciate seeing the C's rock a more modern look once in a while.
The Magic's alternates are now three seasons old and have become a hit. The Shaq-Penny era meets today's team with these unis. The striping pattern looks better on the black jerseys than on the road blues too. Dwight's not around anymore to wear these, so the Magic are another well-dressed, lottery-bound team.
Small changes made this season have improved the quality of Portland's alternates. The round, simpler number and letter design are an upgrade over the completely standard reds they used to have. With Damian Lillard, Portland is all about fresh changes this year and these jerseys are a change for the good.
The Jazz adopted this green third jersey last year as a further homage to their New Orleans colors. The dark green looks cooler on the road than purple and a well-designed throwback will always be a hit. The new Jazz uniforms were well-received when they debuted a few years ago and these greens are the best of their three unis.
New this season, these blue Clippers uniforms work very well for a standard third jersey. The blue Clips uni looks better this time around than the red-lacking jerseys of the Baron Davis era. Of course, it always helps a uniform's quality when it's being worn by Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.
One of the rare same base-color third jerseys, this works as a alternate-throwback hybrid. The yellow down the sides reminds Houston fans of the days of Hakeem the Dream. The cool slanted font and logo on the shorts keep the modern look.
Miami has a few alternates now, but these reds are the main ones. It is a cool switch from the black and the Heat wear these regularly during road playoff games. The Miami is a nice small change in the front. Any uniform worn by the King will be popular and these reds are the Heat's best look on the road.
While they may not be as ground-breaking as the Jordan-era black unis, Bulls fans love when they bust out these on the road. Like Miami, the Bulls change the front by repping their city. In the all black, these unis make D-Rose look just a little bit faster than he already is.
Last year people started paying attention to the Wolves and they noticed these cool black unis. The blue piping positively accents the uniform and these are by far Minnesota's premier jerseys. With Love and Rubio coming back soon, expect the Wolves to wear these more as their stars return.
For almost a decade now, the Lakers have worn these whites at home on Sundays and Christmas. While the Lakers famously hold the distinction of being the only team to regularly wear a home color, thy hit big on the white jerseys. They look so clean on game day when Kobe is hitting clutch shots. Jack Nicholson definitrly approves.
These brand new unis definitely shock. They are the most polarizing uniforms to hit the NBA in a while, that's for sure. The beautiful mountains and blue rainbow are the best part of this jersey. The Nuggets are among the league's most entertaining teams and these unis only make them more fun to watch. This is a classic high risk, high reward uniform.
Well I said yellow was trending in the NBA, and nothing beats it on the Hornets alternates. The teal and purple piping is a great compliment to this cool Nawlins gold. Everything just works here. The color and style of the numbers and letters is perfect. The pinstripes are a classic addition to pay homage to Charlotte. What separates these from the pack though is the NOLA. It gives these uniforms the hometown shout out that New Orleans deserves.
That is our uniform countdown. Hope you enjoyed it. Stay posted for the next article on how Mike D'Antoni will fit in L.A.
