I like them except for the tshirt part. I don't like the jersey shirts.

My hate for the shirsey idea is lessening. These are incredible. Insanely well-done. The attention to detail and symbolism is awesome.

These uniforms are awesome! First class. They LOOK great and the message/symbolism is fantastic.

The wreath on the collar did for me. These are awesome and I vote that they become permanent unis!!!!

They do nothing for me. They look like they should be warm-ups.

I like the jersey itself sans the sleeves...

Pretty nice, I like the references. From twitter and fb that I have seen it's been well received nationally. Some remarked on similarities with Buzz City though.

Does this mean there is no chance for more Sounds jersey appearances?

The Sounds apparel isn't worn each season.

Don't think so. These will probably only be worn for the MLK day (before) game.

These look really sharp but I'm not a fan of the t-shirt Jersey style

They stink

The Pros, Tams, and Sounds each got a season. I guess in a couple years they'll do the Pros jerseys again.

Boo... Is that set in stone by some contract with the league or apparel? Once you see commercial success with an idea, I think you should double down on it. I hope if there is a legal opportunity to prolong it they will. I love the Pros, but the red popped.

I know. Last year was the first. But the response was so positove I thought they'd look for a way to maintain it. I liked the Pros, hated the Tams, but was caught off guard by how good the Sounds looked. Even if it was planned as a one off, legal and commercial strategy aside, I would otherwise seek to amend those plans after apparent consumer feedback. But maybe the strategy research revealed otherwise.

I think I read they'll also be worn for some (all?) games during Black History Month?

I think it's a Grizzlies decision.

But the NBA controls the retro logos and uniforms. That's why the Charlotte Hornets weren't allowed to go back to the original logo.

Ridiculous article. Researched, but dude... Jackie Smith?

A wreath and rails are exploiting MLK?
