mexico -- looks like a uniform for a resort

[Flexo]

I actually like Venezuela's...

Puerto Rico could do better...IMO, they should be rocking the LIGHT BLUE, their originally colors, not the colors USA gave them.

DR is too generic...would be hot if they have the cross on the jersey...actually flag design.

Argentina is old, but still quality.

Uruguay is lame.

Mexico could of been good, but the font terrrrible.

Brasil could of did better.

I honestly didn't expect anything out of VI and Canada...theres are exceptional.

Panama...eh, same thing with DR.

I wonder when we´ll back to green and yellow uniforms. I hate this one.

[reamily]

Hehe I noticed nike sponsored uniforms are disturbingly same from Philippines to Korea to Taiwan And Now Canada lucky china and US which have diff emblems in their jerseys

[rikhardur]

I like Brazil's. Venezuela's look good as well.

My favorites: Canada and Venezuela. Canada isn't surprising, since it has the usual style Nike uses in Europe, but it's improved in some details. And Venezuela's colour rocks, it's very unique and distinctive of them, while all the trims and details aren't as boring as in the uniforms they used for years.


It's interesting how many of these uniforms resemble American styles:

-the Dominican's unis look much like Team USA's and the Atlanta Hawks'.
-the Virgin Islands' font obviously resembles the Clippers' and the old Bulls'.
-Puerto Rico = Detroit Pistons.
-Panama's font is sooo classic college style.
-I can't figure out why Uruguay changed the numbers colour from white to blue. And, by the way, I think it was the Nuggets who ripped Uruguay off.
-Mexico at least must get some points for being creative:D


Argentina is old, but still quality.
Old? These uniforms have only been premiered last year. But if you guys mean this about having the the skyblue and white stripes at the front, i actually like the concept. Having the flag instead of the country's name makes it a bit more interesting... even if the golden details on the sides are hideous:o


I wonder when we´ll back to green and yellow uniforms. I hate this one.
I agree. In fact, I think blue uniformes jinxed Brazilian basketball. Anyway, it's better to have even some green trim that not having anything at all, like most last years.

This is the ugliest uniform of Puerto Rico ever.....

[Dtown]

Argentina are the best imo, sure they never change but that just means the jerseys are part of their identity. I've always found them to be the most unique without overdoing it. (though I prefer them in world tournaments without the Big VISA right in the middle)

Brazil gets a solid second. Especially their yellows. Again I like teams that stand out in their jerseys. (though I've always wondered why Brazil features so little green in their jerseys)

I don't really think any of the jerseys are ugly, boring yes and some cases flat out ripoffs of other jerseys (Uruguay), but ugly? No.

Edit: I take that back, Mexico's is homely :p

Canada's white one

Most uniforms are too basic... If i had to make them, i will experiment that's why this Mexico jerseys impress me:

Like I said in that one, Argentina are the best (original and eye catching)

Mexico are the worst, just a bad idea.

Maybe we could draw some basic designs we would like for each team? I bet we'd see some wacky stuff
