Pacers' New Uniforms

Indianapolis Star - The Indiana Pacers will have a different look in their quest for an NBA title.

Pinstripes are out. A cleaner, sleeker look is in.

"I really didn't like the pinstripes," said Jermaine O'Neal, who modeled the home and away uniforms Thursday with teammate Stephen Jackson. "I think it's a transition period for it. Obviously Reggie (Miller) is not here anymore, so it's a new-look team. I think getting new uniforms to go with that is perfect."

Settling on the new gear, the 11th in franchise history and first change since 1997, took two years. Reebok designed six uniforms. Pacers officials narrowed the list to two before deciding.

"It wasn't an easy process," Pacers president Larry Bird said. "The players had some say, but not the final say. But you try to get their input because they are the ones that have to wear the uniforms. It's a sleek look."

The Pacers hope the new uniforms will help boost sales. The Pacers didn't finish in the top 10 in team or top 25 in individual jersey sales last season.

"You can never tell how your sales are going to be," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said. "It can be all over the map."


I don't like this new uniform, it just looks too plain and old. I like the previous one better.

I liked the pinstripes too, but those aren't too bad. At the same time, they're following the same "plain" trend that so many clubs are adopting. The fact it's another club with blue in its colour scheme doesn't help either. Still, not bad but at the same time not necessarily a change for the better in my opinion.

I always liked the pinstripes :cry: The new jerseys aren't too bad. Even though they're plain looking like most of the new jerseys, they seem very distinct from other team's.

I think the Lakers' alternate white jersey is the best but to each their own.

I rather have any team use plain jerseys then try to do something fancy and have the jersey come out horrible.

Uggh. Those jerseys are horrible. The pinstriped ones are better even without the pinstripes compared to the new one.

Yeah, Jermaine's big grin has gangster written all over it.

Considering Sjack grew up a "blood" I think he's allowed. :D

They're ok, nothing special. I liked the other ones better. Their new uniforms remind me more of the Pistons uniforms. I guess thats the first step of becoming a championship contender :lol: just J/K indy

Preparation will only take you so far. After that you've got to take a few leaps of faith.
