NBA City Edition 2022-23: Every alternate jersey ranked from 29(?) to 1
2022-23 NBA 城市版球衣排名

On Nov. 10, the NBA and Nike unveiled the 2022-23 City Edition uniforms,
which are now in their sixth season. These uniforms, according to Nike,
continue to “represent the stories, history and heritage that make each NBA
franchise unique — honoring the bonds between court, community and culture.”

But how do they look?

This year’s unveiling gave The Athletic an opportunity to have a little
roundball roundtable fun. Jason Jones, Rhiannon Walker, James Edwards III andHunter Patterson got together to discuss the 29 City Edition jerseys and comeup with their own power rankings.

今年11 月 10 日，NBA 和 NIKE 推出了 2022-23 城市版球衣，同時也是推出城市版球衣的第六個賽季。 據 NIKE 稱，這些球衣“代表著讓每支 NBA 球隊獨一無二的故事、歷史和傳統，也代表著球場、社區和文化之間的紐帶。”

但是他們的球衣看起來怎麼樣？

今年 The Athletic 工作人員 Jason Jones, Rhiannon Walker, James Edwards III 和Hunter Patterson 將 29 件城市版球衣進行排名討論。

Our writers ranked each team using a scoring system where 29 points were
given to their favorite jersey, all the way to one point given to their leastfavorite. (This explains the numbers in parentheses next to each writer’s
name below.) Note that 29 of the 30 NBA teams are ranked, as Utah chose not
to release a City Edition uniform this season. The Jazz launched alternate
jerseys earlier this year.

Without further ado, here are the rankings, starting from the bottom.

最喜歡的球衣獲得 29 分，最不喜歡的球衣獲得 1 分。這些作家將會依此評分系統對每支球隊進行排名，名字旁邊括號中的數字為該人員的平分。

請注意，30 支 NBA 球隊中只有 29 支排名，因為猶他爵士選擇本賽季不發布城市版球衣。 爵士隊在今年不久前推出了其他版本球衣。

排名開始:

第29名 Golden State Warriors (21 分)

(The yellow rose supports female leadership and empowerment. Designed by
Allison “Hueman” Torneros.)
黃玫瑰象徵著女性領導力和賦權。由 Allison “Hueman” Torneros 設計。

Walker (17): I love the idea of celebrating women, but I wish the team and
artist could’ve worked more critically on this design. A rose to uplift
women is very cliche.
我喜歡讚美女性的想法，但我希望設計團隊和藝術家能夠在這個設計上更具有批判性。用玫瑰去提振女性是非常老套的。

Jones (2): I don’t get this one. Noble idea, but it looks like a novelty
deal. Gives me airbrushed overall vibes.
我不太懂這個設計。非常高尚的想法看起來滿新奇的。整體就是一個噴刷感。

Patterson (1): I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and I had to read aboutwhat this design was supposed to mean. That’s a problem. The Warriors missed
on a great opportunity to pay tribute to Oracle Arena, where they became the
best version of themselves. The rose can’t even be seen when the jerseys are
tucked in. Not impressed.
我在灣區出生長大，但我必須花時間去了解這個設計的含義。這就是一個問題。勇士隊錯過了向甲骨文球館致敬的絕佳機會，他們在那裡完成了不少成就。而當球衣塞進去時就看不到玫瑰了。沒有感到印象深刻。

Edwards (1): This jersey looks like a bootleg. You can find this at a store
in the mall right next to the Will Smith “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” uniform,
which is right next to the Wu-Tang-inspired All-Star shorts. Gross. I like
the message behind it, but this ain’t it. At all.
這件球衣看起來像盜版。你可以在購物中心的一家商店找到它，它就在威爾史密斯《新鮮王子妙事多》制服旁邊，然後旁邊是武當風格的全明星短褲。我喜歡它背後的信息，但信息沒有傳達出來。完全沒有。

第28名 Orlando Magic (27 分)
https://imgur.com/kszIaXX
(All-black jersey with metallic gray pinstripes.)

帶金屬灰色細條紋的全黑球衣

Jones (13): Just bring back the black jerseys Shaq and Penny Hardaway played
in.
乖乖帶回Shaq和Penny Hardaway的黑色球衣就好了。

Edwards (6): Aren’t these the same as the Magic’s usual uniform? Another
team that just completely punted on first down.
這不是和魔術隊平時的隊服一樣嗎？完全沒花心思

Patterson (5): The most basic of basics. The only thing saving this jersey
from being black with white font is the blue outline.
基礎中最基礎的。 唯一讓這件球衣免於黑底白字的就是他旁邊的藍色輪廓。

Walker (3): These are so lazy and unimaginative.
這也太懶惰了，毫無想像力。

第27名 Sacramento Kings (29 分)
https://imgur.com/sfd9JcO
https://imgur.com/1syfXtX
(“Sacramento” across the chest and former commissioner David Stern’s
encouraging words, “We are keeping the team in Sacramento,” near the
bottom.)
Sacramento 字橫跨胸前，底部為前任NBA總裁David Stern的話，“我們將球隊留在
Sacramento”。

Patterson (15): It’s new and unusual for the Kings — maybe even a bit
bland, but they’re not terrible. I would’ve preferred either a throwback of
the title-contending Kings or a powder blue.
對國王隊來說是個展新的設計——可能有點乏味，但並不差。 但我更喜歡以前有爭冠淺
力的國王隊或粉藍色的設計。

註: 我猜是指這兩件
https://imgur.com/6ZMbGkH
https://imgur.com/dUuZPZC

Jones (7): Why are the Kings in gray? Want to celebrate the Kings staying in
Sacramento? How about black and purple? Maybe something paying tribute to theold Arco Arena? I’d even be good with the light blue deals, which are my
favorite.
為什麼國王是灰色的？ 想慶祝國王隊留在Sacramento嗎？ 黑色和紫色不好嗎？ 是向舊Arco Arena 致敬嗎？ 我可以接受淺藍色

Walker (4): Oh, a gray uniform? I have to imagine — and I know there are —
a million better ways to celebrate the anniversary of deciding not to
relocate a team. But this ain’t it, chief.
哦，灰色球衣？ 能想像有一百萬種更好的方式來慶祝不搬遷團隊的周年紀念日。 但不是這樣搞的

Edwards (3): Gray uniforms never work. Ever. Stop doing them. Please. I beg
of you. Name one well-done gray jersey … I’ll wait.
灰色球衣永遠不行。拜託不要再這樣搞。我請你說出一件做得不錯的灰色球衣……我等你
說。

第26名 Charlotte Hornets (30 分)
https://imgur.com/EKtVPYr
(Mint, gold and granite coupled with the support of Charlotte’s airport
abbreviation.)
薄荷色邊配金黃色加上花崗線條 中間為夏洛特機場縮寫CLT

Jones (10): Shoutout to the airport on this one. A really big shoutout.
Considering the Hornets had the coolest jerseys in the 1990s, I expected
better.
這是一個向機場致敬的球衣。 考慮到黃蜂隊曾有90 年代最酷的球衣，我原預期有更好的球衣。

Edwards (10): The lettering is too in your face. I don’t particularly like
gold on jerseys, either. Maybe they’ll look better on the court, but right
now they’d look better in the trash. The Hornets have too cool of colors to
come up with this.
這字體都快貼到臉上了。 我個人不是特別喜歡球衣上的金色。 也許在他們在球場上會顯得更好看，但現在感覺在垃圾桶裡會更好看。 黃蜂隊可以有更棒的配色的。

Walker (6): I’ve seen this before — you see how Portland celebrated its
airport? I need a lot more than just the CLT initials.
我看過這個，你知道波特蘭是如何致敬機場的嗎？ (之後會提到) 我需要的不是只有
CLT 縮寫。

Patterson (4): Wasn’t a fan of these. The pinstripes are cool, and I can get
with the gold lettering, but it’s just boring.
不喜歡這個。 條紋很酷，搭配金色字體可以接受，但很無聊。

第25名 Minnesota Timberwolves (37 分)
https://imgur.com/8HXWHxe
(A colorful collaboration supporting diversity and creativity throughout the
state.)
多彩代表了該州的多元性和創造力

Walker (25): Doing something different every year — which is no small feat,
as we’ve seen — wins points for me.
灰狼球衣每年都做一些不同的嘗試，這不是一件容易的事，因此獲得我的分數。

Edwards (9): Just boring. Last year’s lime green jersey was one of my
favorites in recent years, so I was holding them to a high standard.
太無聊了。 去年那件綠色球衣是我近年來最喜歡的球衣之一，所以我對灰狼的要求很高。

Patterson (2): I read the Timberwolves wanted to use different colors from
previous uniforms, but there were so many creative ways to convey that. This
feels lazy.
我了解灰狼隊想要使用不同的顏色，但可以有更具創造性的方式來傳達這一點。 這感覺很偷懶。

Jones (1): I don’t get it. The team that gave us Prince-inspired jerseys
gave us … this? Boring.
我不懂。 灰狼曾給我們 Prince 風格球衣，但現在給我們……這個？無聊

第24名 Cleveland Cavaliers (39 分)

(The logo font identifies with the Cavs logo of the 1980s. Located above the
jock tag: “For the love. For the land.”)
Logo字體和80年代相同, 右下標籤上寫: “為了愛。為了土地”

Patterson (29): This is actually my favorite jersey of the group. The gold
font and subtle blue accents and shadows behind the letters work perfectly. I’d definitely buy a No. 3 Caris LeVert jersey.
這實際上是我最喜歡的球衣。金色字體和淺藍色符號加上陰影效果完美呈現。 我肯定會買一件 3 號 Caris LeVert 的球衣。

Jones (6): Not the worst, but it’s nothing special.
不是最糟糕的，但也沒什麼特別的。

Walker (2): Hey, shoutout to Lake Erie, but a bold font isn’t enough to
capture my attention. Do better.
向伊利湖致敬，但粗體字體不足以引起我的注意。 能做得更好。

Edwards (2): This might be the most boring of the bunch. The concept is
played out, and the colors don’t pop at all. Another team that punted on
fourth-and-short.
這可能是這批球衣中最無聊的一個。 球衣設計已經沒梗了，而且顏色一點也不突出。 又一個放棄設計的球隊。

第23名 Los Angeles Lakers (42 分)
https://imgur.com/FG7KorU
(Reminiscent of a blank page; purposefully designed to resemble a canvas.)
讓人聯想到空白頁面；故意設計成類似於油畫畫布

Jones (19): Plain. Basic. But I’m from L.A., and it works for me more than
most. Then again, I just bought a pair of Jordan 1s in this colorway, so
maybe I’m influenced by that. Black and purple is never a bad combo.
平淡又基本。 但我來自洛杉磯所以設計合我胃口。 話又說回來，我剛買了一雙這種配色的 Jordan 1，所以也許我受到了它的影響。 黑色和紫色從來都不是一個糟糕的組合。

Patterson (11): Definitely thought of the Kings’ home jerseys when I first
saw these. They’re cool but not really moving the needle for me.
當我第一次看到這球衣時，肯定會想到國王隊的主場球衣。 他們很酷，但沒有打動我。

Edwards (7): I fell asleep looking at these. Nothing original, and the
concept is a “blank page”? Yeah, someone mailed this in.
我看著這設計就睡著了。 沒有原創性，概念是“空白頁”？ 毫無努力的作品

Walker (5): Meh. (*shrugs shoulders*)
嗯（聳肩）

第22名 Indiana Pacers (49 分)
https://imgur.com/mPJQ4LH
(A tribute to the past and present of Indiana-respected Gainbridge
Fieldhouse.)
向Gainbridge Fieldhouse球場致敬

Edwards (22): It’s different. The colors go well together. I also like the
subtleness of the celebration for Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
這很不同，顏色搭配得很好。 我也喜歡致敬Gainbridge Fieldhouse球場的點子

Patterson (16): A nice change of pace from typical Pacers jerseys. I
appreciate the design and color of the ode to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
與典型的溜馬隊衣相比，有了很好的改變。 我很欣賞頌歌Gainbridge Fieldhouse球場的設計和顏色。

Walker (8): Detroit made it very clear what it was celebrating with its
concept, and I would’ve liked a similar, in-your-face recognition of the
Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
活賽有非常明顯的概念呈現，我會希望 Gainbridge Fieldhouse 也有一個明顯的設計概念。

Jones (3): I don’t know why this jersey reminds me of a wrestling singlet,
but it does. The story of the Gainbridge Fieldhouse is cool, but I could
easily see this on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” and be fine with that too.
我不知道為什麼這件球衣讓我想起了摔角背心。 Gainbridge Fieldhouse 的故事很酷，但我腦海卻呈現 WWE 的“Monday Night Raw”的畫面，不過這樣也不差。

第21名 Chicago Bulls (51 分)
https://imgur.com/iNBpWTY
https://imgur.com/495Ziwp
(The Municipal Y, two sets of five lines and interior historic value dating
back to 1917.)
市政 Y 標誌由芝加哥於 1917 年引入，代表芝加哥河的三個支流在沃爾夫角匯合, 兩組五條銹色紋路，代表場上球隊的球員人數，沿著制服的兩側延伸並在短褲處分叉，模仿芝加哥河的分裂
註:上述為NBA官網介紹的

Walker (20): I lived in Chicago for a few months, so this one takes a little
in the know to appreciate. It works if you’re familiar with the area, not so
much if you’re not. The Municipal Y at the bottom is paying tribute to the
branches coming together that make up the Chicago River. The city’s flag,
which is one of my favorites, sits right beside it, and the design is
reminiscent of a throwback Bulls jersey.
我在芝加哥住了幾個月，所以這個需要花點時間去了解，才懂得欣賞。 如果你熟悉芝加哥，就會懂，如果不熟芝加哥，則效果不佳。 底部的市政 Y 是向芝加哥河流致敬。 這座城市的旗幟是我最喜歡的旗幟之一，這設計讓人想起公牛隊的復古球衣。

Patterson (12): These might as well be the regular Bulls home uniforms, whichare cool but not exactly what I had in mind for City Edition designs.
這也可以是例行賽的公牛隊主場球衣，很酷，但並不完全符合我對城市版球衣設計的想法

Edwards (11): Did they even try to do anything different? This probably took
30 seconds to design.
他們有沒有嘗試做一些不同的事情？ 這大概花了 30 秒來設計。

Jones (8): This looks like a regular Bulls jersey with stripes on the side.
OK.
這看起來像一件例行賽公牛隊球衣，側面有條紋。 OK。
