They are just like the jersey used prior to the one they use now!!

First of all, who wants that stupid mini text on the players butt crack? That’s been a huge trend in recent uniforms, and it’s really stupid. I mean, are we going to look there FOR the team name? I just don’t get it. Isn’t the sides enough? Anyway, it’s safe to say that I WILL NOT buy these shorts.

Second of all, the logos are extremely reminiscent of the 90s Pistons uniforms. Royce says otherwise, calling them “New York Knickish”. While they do look so if you look at it on that drawing he has on his site, if you look at the actual thing, they look moreso Pistons to me. But of course, the Pistons uniforms were much more outlandish, cartoony, and just plain cool. These look sort of bland an generic, just like….the logo! Whaddaya know!

Third of all, the fronts of both uniforms are just a little bit too bland and noisy. The white uniforms have orange tracing around them for some god-knows-why reason. Combining it with the white and yellow doesn’t turn out too well in my opinion. The road uniforms also suffer from problems, as it just looks like they slapped Oklahoma, City, and the numbers on there with absolutely no regard for style.

In conclusion, after a second look, these uniforms are pretty poor. They have some positive points on the colouring, but the uniforms are eternally marred by their use of butt crack logo and their overall genericness.

okluschen note: To me, it seems as if Thunder is just a formality for this team and if they didn’t have to have a team name, we wouldn’t have one. Everything the team does seems to be distant from Thunder. If you’re going to choose a name like the Thunder, show me some clouds or bolts or something! In the logo and the uniforms, they seem to be going conservative in their selections, as not to piss off anyone. However, in doing this, they’ve managed to offend everyone! Give us something to be proud of, please. It doesn’t need to be good even, Oklahomans will take to whatever. But give us something that isn’t plain jane generic.

From OKC Thief’s website:

The atrocity that was late 90’s uniforms. The dino-style Raptors?
Teal and fuchsia horse-head Pistons unis? Single worst uniform change ever?

 The Hawks jersey with a giant red hawk emblazoned across the center?

 
These Thunder jerseys are cut straight from that mold but remind me far more of the Shawn Kemp Era Cavaliers jerseys that ranked very high on my all time worst uni’s list…

Oh, that Lamond Murray look is sooo hot right now…..

What about some love for Tyrone Hill?
….. right there below the 97’ Warriors “LIGHTNING BOLT MADNESS” .

I’m a BIG fan of the retro look, but not recent enough to where these designs bring back familiar memories of the days of the lockout…..

but I hope OKC loses every single game this year. Competition is good for the league, but I just want that team to fail like no other team before so that crappy owner gets put in his place.

If they lose every game, no one will buy season tickets next year or buy team merchandise that is too ugly to be of any value on its own merits. Hopefully when it hits him in the pocketbook, he will get his act together and hold teh design team accountable for creating a strong brand

The road jerseys look like someone from 1981 designed them with the YMCA esque block lettering. Will the back of the jerseys have both the first and last name too?

The home jerseys look like the Bobcats, Grizzlies, Nuggets and Warriors thrown into a blender with the least expressive block lettering.

As far as a Dubs rip off, I think that belongs to Denver. Their road jerseys are identical to ours. Its a shame too because I can’t f’ing stand the Nuggets with bitch ass Mello and crew.
