The Miami Heat have new alternate uniforms and... well, they're just awful. See for yourself.
Debuting these awful unis and Eddy Curry on the same night made things far too easy for NBA bloggers inclined towards snarky comments. Yes, my first thought was, "I thought black was supposed to be slimming." No, I'm not proud of that.
Other, more clever responses on Twitter likened the new unis to "the uniforms of a summer league team sponsored by a low-level drug dealer" or "something out of the L.A. Gear collection, circa 1988."
Of course, these aren't the only ugly uniforms in today's NBA. Case in point... when it was announced that the Knicks would be playing a home game on Christmas Day this year, one of the first questions many fans asked was, "Does that mean they'll be wearing their green uniforms?" Personally, I'm hoping the Knicks' green-and-orange alternates are retired until Nate "Krypto-Nate" Robinson is back in a New York uniform.
In other words - forever.
And even those might not be the worst. The Dallas Mavericks briefly wore uniforms that appeared to be made out of hefty bags. The Suns unis featured a logo best described as the "exploding armpit basketball." And don't even get me started on Toronto's ridiculous red dinosaur.
Here are a few of my picks for the NBA's most grievous assaults on the eyes. Which are your favorites? Least-favorites?
