Celtics, Spurs, Lakers, Warriors, Jazz Rated As Having Best Uniforms By Uni Watch

Aug 24, 2012 10:52 AM

Paul Lukas of Uni Watch ranks the uniforms of all 30 NBA teams, with the Celtics coming in first.

"The Rolling Stones, "Goodfellas," a Hershey's with almonds -- the classics are classic for a reason," writes Lukas about the Celtics. "That definitely applies to the Celtics' set. No goofy side panels, no extraneous bells or whistles -- just a perfect, vertically arched wordmark and a simple green-and-white color scheme. They rank atop this list despite sometimes wearing that black-trimmed alternate."

The Spurs, Lakers, Warriors and Jazz comprise the remainder of the top-five.

"The Raiders aren't the only team that knows how to wear silver and black," writes Lukas in regards to the Spurs. "In addition to the killer colors, the Spurs are also among the few NBA teams that have successfully incorporated a graphic image into their chest typography -- a small element that goes a long way."

Jimmer Fredette had difficulty balancing his personal and professional lives as a rookie with the Kings last season.

"One thing I've always had was my life outside basketball. I didn't quite have that last year," Fredette said. "But I'm excited to get back out there. Summer (League in Las Vegas) was good. I'm playing the game I love. I'll get back to smiling this year. I learned a lot. I'm really looking forward to working with my teammates and coaches, having a lot better year."

Fredette, the former national player of the year at Brigham Young, added that "it was definitely a difficult season for all of us as Kings," inferring to the losing and inconsistency.
