    Classic and timeless, huh?

  • b Posted: Sep.29 at 3:33 pm
    gayy but i want them hyper D’s durants gott

  • tealish Posted: Sep.29 at 3:37 pm
    Really, just terrible. The away jersey looks like they ran out of room with the city name…

  • JoeyE. Posted: Sep.29 at 3:37 pm
    the home jerseys are nice. they kinda remind me of the old cavs jerseys. you know, the Ricky Davis, Andre Miller era.
    the road jerseys have uh nice shorts?
    the top sucks

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Sep.29 at 3:40 pm
    If I were going to rank all the uniforms in the D League, these would definitely be in the top half — sorry, what?

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Sep.29 at 3:43 pm
    And you can just tell what Kevin Durant’s thinking, can’t you? He’s thinking, “Man, I love AC/DC. I know, I know, there’s no replacing Bon Scott, but the later stuff has a undeniable radio-friendliness without sacrificing the ‘rawk’ awesomeness that made them so great in the first place.” That’s what he’s thinking. Yeah.

    If I was…PSU baby!

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Sep.29 at 3:43 pm
    ?

  • underdog Posted: Sep.29 at 3:44 pm
    They should rather put simply “OKC” with larger characters on the away jersey instead of “Oklahoma City” with much smaller cahracters. Imho.

  • Funkdoc Posted: Sep.29 at 3:45 pm
    the away uniforms remind me of the Knicks…
    nuff said

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Sep.29 at 3:45 pm
    Did they get those uniforms through Eastbay? Um, no offense to Eastbay. (Can’t we save everyone some time, put Kevin Durant on a real team, and relegate the Thunder to the CBA now?)

  • underdog Posted: Sep.29 at 3:49 pm
    Durant and Green. And I accept the CBA idea.

  • airs Posted: Sep.29 at 3:49 pm
    so no thor? the hell.

  • Missu Posted: Sep.29 at 3:50 pm
    WTH?! Words across the booty? That’s a girl thing. Or is that so they now have a target to slap when they are doing a good job?
    Home is okay, just a little plain. Away jerseys, the numbers seem smaller than the home Jerseys, but they prob did that to match the size of the loooong word above it. Couldn’t they have shorten that somehow?

  • H to the Izzo Posted: Sep.29 at 3:52 pm
    And so continues the basketball jersey’s slow yet undeniable densecion into the sports bra.

  • Robert Posted: Sep.29 at 3:53 pm
    …And I thought the logo was too generic. This is what happens when you decide to move a team that quick without figuring out everything else that needed to be done. I agree with Russ, actually I don’t..you could probably get better jerseys made from Eastbay. These stink.

  • Wongtouski Posted: Sep.29 at 3:54 pm
    They stole the color scheme from the 90s pistons lol……..sort of

  • Hersey Posted: Sep.29 at 3:54 pm
    Their jerseys are so generic I’m surprised they even have player names on the back. Instead of Durant it just says Forward.

  • average joe Posted: Sep.29 at 4:02 pm
    OH DEAR

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Sep.29 at 4:03 pm
    Good stuff, Hersey.

  • LeeVan Posted: Sep.29 at 4:10 pm
    The jerseys were O.K…C, but how ’bout that succulent Angus beef?!
    Angus beef—>AC/DC—>Angus Young; I think that AC/DC is planning a takeover of America, starting with OKC, right in the heartland.
    Those Aussies think they’re soo clever.

  • what Posted: Sep.29 at 4:12 pm
    Wow those are terrible.

  • Moose Posted: Sep.29 at 4:13 pm
    The home ones are all right, they’re just boring. The away ones suck, though. And the names on the back of the shorts ain’t workin . . .

  • ciolkstar Posted: Sep.29 at 4:14 pm
    Wack. I need for KD to leave the thunder ASAP. They just seem eveil.

  • ciolkstar Posted: Sep.29 at 4:14 pm
    I can’t spell

  • O-Easy Posted: Sep.29 at 4:15 pm
    Everything associated with this franchise is FAIL. David Stern should be embarrassed by the team’s ownership and their decision making. I have no idea how he can defend Clay Bennett’s actions. What’s the over under on the team’s move out of okc? Five years?

  • md Posted: Sep.29 at 4:16 pm
    yuuucccckkkk who ever designed the logo plus unis needs to be sacked asap infact just shoot clay bennet and move them back to seattle

  • boredatwork Posted: Sep.29 at 4:18 pm
    I’ll have to agree with RB. The away jersey in particular looks like something pressed up for rec league. The colors are whatevs. Seems like the only thing they got right was relegating that hideous logo to the side, where you don’t notice it very easily. One more thing: Kevin Durant’s gotta be in the top 5 skinniest legs in the NBA. They’re Keon Clark skinny.

  • LeeVan Posted: Sep.29 at 4:20 pm
    In related news, there is a tie for winner of the best new jersey award, as selected by the LeeVan academy of all-knowingness.
    All votes were tabulated by the accounting firm of LeeVan, LeeVan & Goldstein.
    And the winners are: The Toronto Raptors Black Alternates
    &
    The Orlando Magic Blue w/ tapered white pinstripes

  • chiqo Posted: Sep.29 at 4:23 pm
    danny fortson should rejoin the team just so that there can be a valid reason for having the word “thunder” written across the seat of the shorts.

  • Diesel Posted: Sep.29 at 4:23 pm
    That was quite possibly the most awkward press conference I’ve ever seen.

  • RV Posted: Sep.29 at 4:30 pm
    i’m pretty sure other teams have the name on the shorts as well. Looks like the NBA is trying to save money or something….i don’t mind simple uniforms, but I hate the fact that so many of the new ones look the same.

  • RV Posted: Sep.29 at 4:31 pm
    you can tell the players weren’t even that excited, they knew the press conference was hyping up crappy uniforms.

  • Clifton Posted: Sep.29 at 4:34 pm
    One of my friends instantly recognized their logo as a mod of the “Custom Team” logos from the late-90′s NBA Live games… I guess they tried to stick with that same generic appeal for the uniforms too…so I guess videogame experience can go on your resume these days? Is that how George “Sim City” Bush is president? Ahhhh screw it…good luck KD

  • Donn Posted: Sep.29 at 4:36 pm
    Those jerseys would look a lot better if they were green and yellow with Sonics in the front and then they get on the plane and move back to Seattle….

  • Clay Bennett Posted: Sep.29 at 4:43 pm
    We screwed over the city of seattle and we have to show for it are these crappy t-shirts

  • VHovi Posted: Sep.29 at 4:58 pm
    Garbage!!! Timeless and classic = boring and not really creative. Neither is the lettering on the jerseys. But hey who’s looking at these guys for creativity; they stole their name and colors from another team. I’m guessing they’ll go the way of the teal Pistons jerseys and change in less than 2 seasons.

  • EZ Posted: Sep.29 at 5:04 pm
    i seen better aau uni’s

  • Mike C. Posted: Sep.29 at 5:24 pm
    They look like community college uniforms. “Welcome to the NBA guys, watch out for that crusty old dean.”

  • jbas Posted: Sep.29 at 5:57 pm
    WJE worst jerseys ever.

  • B. Long Posted: Sep.29 at 6:11 pm
    I was expecting something mos puto with a angry cartoon cloud on it. Now that I see these that would’ve probably been better.

  • mitch Posted: Sep.29 at 6:21 pm
    They look alright. Kinda remind me of the old cavs one.

  • TADOne Posted: Sep.29 at 6:36 pm
    What high school seniors did they get to produce that video?

  • joe a Posted: Sep.29 at 7:27 pm
    They look like a very feminine version of the knicks unis.

  • Pete Casey Posted: Sep.29 at 7:58 pm
    Fitting for last place.

  • Sarah Posted: Sep.29 at 8:42 pm
    The road ones seem really bland for some reason. I guess they could be worse, though.

  • Dacre Posted: Sep.29 at 8:44 pm
    Earl Watson looked plain out EMBARRASED.

  • Dacre Posted: Sep.29 at 8:47 pm
    p.s. Jeff Green is NOT 6’9. He was atleast 2 inches shorter than Durant on that stage.

  • mittens Posted: Sep.29 at 8:58 pm
    they should just play shirts vs skins in all their games
    them being the sknins obviously

  • riggs Posted: Sep.29 at 9:12 pm
    dan majerle is somewhere laughing his ass off

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Sep.29 at 11:34 pm
    The OKC logo looks like they got it from a list of discarded WNBA logos. Wow…

  • Pistons Lover Posted: Sep.30 at 12:16 am
    UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • RoyBoy Posted: Sep.30 at 1:15 am
    I can now officially say i hate everything about this remodeled franchise. May the Thunder never make the playoffs or taste the slightest bit of success. Hopefully this team is the next one to move…. hopefully back to Seattle.

  • Levon J. Posted: Sep.30 at 3:28 am
    100% D-LEAGUE!!!!!!!

  • FLUD Posted: Sep.30 at 7:30 am
    DISGUSTING, poor, clumsy….all the hallmarks of ‘here’s the very first draft, it’s good lets go with it!’ If the first draft was done by a mentelly and asthetically challenged shyster. Oh wait…it was.

  • FLUD Posted: Sep.30 at 7:33 am
    *Mentally…..damnit

  • Jeff Posted: Sep.30 at 8:28 am
    Can you guys imagine that theyre gonna sell those piece of sh*t jerseys in stores for 100+ dollars…

  • Timmmmy Posted: Sep.30 at 11:48 am
    the only way they could save these terrible jerseys, is if they made the alternate uniform orange with OKC on it, sort of like phx alternates.

  • Heals Posted: Sep.30 at 12:21 pm
    Wow! Key Arena must have been in really bad shape because this just a joke of a franchise now (sorry KD)…

  • Roy Posted: Sep.30 at 12:23 pm
    ugly… I can tell Kevin Durant didn’t like the unis either judging from the look on his face…. I would have to agree with underdog on the away jerseys of having “O.K.C.” instead of “Oklahoma City” on it…. overall, the unis are just too generic and…. uh, simple?… I guess the designer of the unis kind of “rushed” the design… could’ve been better design-wise…

  • Nick Posted: Oct.2 at 6:42 pm
    the home uniform is suckish and the away uniform is TERRIBL!!!!!!! THEY SUCK AT PICKN LOGOS AND COLORS!!!!
