http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/the-hawks--new-uniforms-are-here--with-triangle-patterns-and-neon-green-for-all-150047314.html

Ok, I'll give them this.. at least they're using the old "pac-man" Hawks logo, that's great. But good lord, who's idea was it to put neon together with red? Or use neon at all? And what the hell are the triangles all about? I just don't get it.

I thought they had a good thing going with their current jerseys. Or if they really wanted to change them, draw a little inspiration from the 'Nique era jerseys. But seriously, it's like an 8 year old who just downed a few liters of Mountain Dew drew these up. The neck line sucks, the font sucks, the neon sucks, the triangles suck... The shorts are decent tho. That's the only good thing.

Clipper, Nets, Raptors, and now Hawks.. it's all awful. The only team that did a decent job on their re-design was the Bucks.

Sorry, had to rant.

Kinda like the triangles on the red and black jerseys.

WTH with the neon????
Why is there a triangle pointing at their package?
Where's the other half of their collar?

New Raptors' uniforms have not been revealed yet, but these are by far the worst of all the new ones so far.

Some of the worst I've ever seen. Hawks management, if you're listening, I've redesigned your jerseys for you:

Yeah, I'm interested to see their uniforms. I was talking more so about their new logo, which, much like the Nets, looks like they pulled it straight from a clip art folder.

Those are totally repulsive. I guess we know what South Carolina is going to hoist after they have to take down the Confederate flag.

Anything is better than the Clippers jersey but that not saying much. My folks always say you should always compare yourself to the best not the worst.

However the Clippers jersey is better than the horror that is the Sixers jersey. Phila really? WTF is Phila? At least call it Philly or something.

Bucks have by far the best new jersey so far.

Terrible. They look like bad aau uniforms. Why can't they realize they need to do an updated version of the Dominique era jerseys? The fans love that style and it's the best looking uni they've had imo.

Who signs off on these teams designs? At this point they would be better off letting fans submit ideas and have open voting for them.

All part of the NBA"s plan to make fans hate jerseys so much, they'll beg to have corporate sponsors on them.

the alternate road jersey looks pretty sweet. I don't get the triangular pattern tbh...it just makes it seem what a college team or an international team would do. Otherwise, the color scheme and the name font look good. That Hawks logo on the bottom right side of the shorts would've been better on the left side as well instead of the team name.

I think the styling and neon piss accents hearken to the Seahawks and Oregon Univ uniforms.

Seahawks new looks are nice, these are an abomination. I mean it not bad it as average as they come.

Bring back the old Hawk Jersey or the one with the hawk mascot on it.

These look nice to me. They should definitely NOT do the alternate shirt and short colors though; that makes them look ridiculous.
