10. Miami Heat South Beach Remix
A deviation from Miami's typical white with red trim home jerseys, these orange and pink Heat threads capture the city's flamboyant side in eccentric style.9. Philadelphia 76ers Shooting Stars
This jersey was worn by Charles Barkley in the early 90's and is wonderful representation of the uniforms from that era. Plus, its the only jersey ever with floating popsicle colored stars.8. Chicago Bulls Pinstripes
7. Atlanta Hawks "Pistol"
6. Golden State Warriors "The City"
It's always interesting when teams incorporate local landmarks into their logos or jerseys, and that's exactly what the Warriors did in the 70's. This classic home jersey was immortalized by Rick Barry, and features a depiction of the Golden Gate bridge just below the numbers.5. Indiana Pacers early to mid 90's
4. Atlanta Hawks Pacman
The Atlanta Hawks Pacman look of the late 80's and early 90's should still be employed today, but instead the team has opted for a boring and generic look, completely diverting from some of their classic jerseys of the past. These fresh threads were made popular by Dominique Wilkins aka the "Human Highlight Reel."3. Denver Nuggets Rainbow Skyline
This one so cool on so many levels, but I'll start with the obvious fact that it is the only jersey with a rainbow across the front of the uniform. Not only does it have the unique a unique color scheme, but it also incorporates the Denver skyline, including the Rocky Mountains in the backdrop. Alex English was undoubtedly the greatest player to ever don this classic Nuggets thread during his tenure in Denver in the 80's.2. Seattle Supersonics Early 90's
It's a shame that the Sonics aren't still in Seattle, though it looks like their return may be imminent at the expense of a certain team in Sacramento. It's even more of a shame that the Sonics changed their jerseys, because these were some of the coolest to ever be worn on an NBA court. Even though Seattle won a championship in a similarly designed jersey in 1979, the fresh threads were really made popular by Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp with their high octane style of play in the 90's. Unfortunately, the dynamic duo did not wear the same uniforms in their lone trip to the NBA Finals in 1996.1. Portland Trailblazers
The Blazers have long had some of the freshest jerseys in the league, and to their credit, have done so without making any major changes to the basic design. It's simple, yet clever, and features the uniquely placed diagonal stripes that have become part of the fabric of both the team and the city. The great Clyde Drexler popularized these timeless threads while playing for Portland in the 80's and early 90's.
