SHARP DRESSED MEN

-

USA TODAY Sports ranked the 10 best uniforms in the NBA. The Bucks’ latest threads made the list at No. 7.

1. Los Angeles Lakers The Lakers’ uniforms have undergone small changes over the years, but they’ve remained the sharpest duds in the NBA. Why? Three words: purple and gold. The bright color combinatio­n is classic.

2. Boston Celtics Boston’s primary home and away uniforms are beautifull­y simple. The green and white color scheme is iconic, and there aren’t any big logos or graphics to muck things up.

3. Philadelph­ia 76ers The 76ers seem to change uniforms every few years. The latest iterations are great. Everything – from the “PHILA” on the front of the jerseys, to the stars running along the side of the jerseys, to the red, white, and bright blue color scheme – works.

4. Chicago Bulls The look that Michael Jordan made famous. Chicago’s red and black uniforms are simple but distinct. The Bulls logo on the shorts is a great touch, too.

5. Golden State Warriors The Warriors’ look is both sleek and classic. Back in 2010, they went back to a blue and yellow color scheme and debuted a bridge logo that evokes the one they used in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Sweet.

6. Washington Wizards Washington’s red, white, and blue look, which pays homage to the classic uniforms it wore in the ’70s, is excellent. It would look even better if the team went back to its old nickname.

7. Milwaukee Bucks The Bucks’ re-designed uniforms, which debuted in 2015, are the NBA’s most underrated. The green, white, and cream color scheme – with touches of blue – is clean and distinct. (The new deer head logo is cool, too.)

8. New York Knicks The Knicks’ look isn’t flashy, but it’s great. The orange accents to New York’s blue and white color scheme provide just enough pop to land its uniforms on this list.

9. San Antonio Spurs San Antonio’s black and silver look reminds of the Raiders’ uniforms. That’s a good thing. The Spur logo that stands in for the “U” is a nice touch.

10. Portland Trail Blazers The Trail Blazers’ uniforms are interestin­g because they’re unique. The diagonal stripes – red, white, and silver on their black uniforms, red and black on their white uniforms – are unlike anything else in the NBA.
