Ranking all 30 NBA jerseys: 29. Oklahoma City Thunder
I struggled with where to rank the Oklahoma City Thunder, but somehow every time I compared them to another team they lost the fight and slid down the rankings. They slid all the way until they landed at 29th. Their primary uniforms are bland, solid blue or white, and have some striping down the sides that is merely fine. The font is shaky.
They went out on a limb for their Statement jersey, one that they wear with a lot of regularity. The all-orange look is too much and looks even worse with the garish yellow and red patch in the top right. Get a new sponsor, or ditch the all-orange.
The blue and orange combo has a lot of potential, but the franchise just can’t seem to put things together. They aren’t helped by their abstract team name – how do you represent thunder on a jersey?
They have a bottom-five logo, which means they can’t feature it either. Plus, they are new enough that they don’t have longstanding history to draw on. Come on OKC, come up with something good.
Wife Take: I guess this team is the “ok” team sponsored by Fanta.
