The NBA is probably the best sport when it comes to personal branding, image and accessory showcasing. It’s a league full of big personalities, confidence that can be confused as cockiness and elite swagger. It’s also full of some of the most eclectic uniform bases you’ll see in any sport, as the league has various promotions that stem from team-based to Christmas Day uniforms, and most teams offer up interesting alternate uni’s.
BleacherReport.com recently took a look at the first half of the season to see which alternate custom basketball uniforms were best. You can see the video here.
Stephen Nelson and Lance Fresh broke down their favorite five, taking a look at the Cleveland Cavaliers black alternates, the Dallas Mavericks “skylines” alternates, the Toronto Raptors black and gold digs, the retro Memphis Grizzlies uni’s and the Miami Heat camo uniforms.
Miami’s camo digs took the top spot in B/R’s breakdown, but we tend to think the Dallas Mavericks alternates should be #1. Heck, perhaps a different team’s alternate jerseys should be in the top five or be considered the best. Then again, maybe we haven’t seen the best yet and another NBA squad will unveil a cool alternate look before the season is up.
Which top-five uniform was your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!
