I'm glad their getting back to the red, yellow and white. Not sure about the Seattle Seahawks green for the numbers though.

The Seahawks' green is a much better color. This neon/highlighter yellow is fricking terrible. If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't be that bad.

Those look like a Pete Maravich blue/lime green Hawks' 70s jersey was raped by Under Armour and these are the bastard children as a result.

Just a disclaimer for those of you who may be confused as to why the Hawks are throwing in the highlighter green color. A quick google search yields the following jerseys:
As you can see, the same highlighter green was a prominent fixture in our jerseys then. The outline use of the green is nothing more than a salute to those jerseys, as well as the Pacman jerseys of the Dominique Wilkins era, while moving on to a more modernized look.
Now, I don't particularly think the green accents go well with the jerseys, but it's not horrible. I personally am looking forward to seeing these new jerseys on the court.
For reference, these in my opinion would have been an absolute homerun had they had gone with a more subdued yellow (photo editing done by redditor /u/p0tatoman): New Hawks Unis With Yellow Instead of Green Outline

Yeah I actually think it looks worse on a lot of the shirts and stuff they are selling than the jerseys themselves

Yeah, that doesn't look ghetto as frick at all
Posted on 6/24/15 at 9:15 am to USAF Hart
That yellow looks so much better
Posted on 6/24/15 at 9:30 am to RTR America
I like the yellow as well, but I honestly don't mind the green.

Two completely different colors.

I like it
Again, not that bad and certainly nowhere close to the worst I've seen. I'll get used to them.
People hate change. I've rarely seen new unis that receive rave reviews.

How can you be so sure? The backdrop on the new unis is going to affect the shade of green and how it is viewed in our eye. I am willing to bet that if you stripped away the red/white/black and just left the green stripe it's much more similar in color than you'd think.

Yep...and people can believe that it's a "nod" to past unis (which it's not), but this was done because their target market for merchandise sales eats up the bright colors. Hell, I even have a few pairs of shoes with bright, neone greens/yellows on them. I just don't think it looks good in this context.

Much better!
Posted on 6/24/15 at 11:59 am to RTR America
fricking terrible
Posted on 6/24/15 at 12:01 pm to USAF Hart
Wow. They really do look so much better with red and yellow.
Posted on 6/24/15 at 1:16 pm to SwaggerCopter
Its easy to spot the posters that are over 35 in this thread. New jerz looks pretty badass imo
Posted on 6/24/15 at 1:19 pm to RTR America
Looks like something the American Gladiators would wear if they had a basketball team.

I'm 24 and a hawks fan and I think they're immediately the worst unis in the league
