This also creates some new fashion options. Different color combinations where you can bring in that gray in accessories and Sneakers.

I know it's a psychological trick, but it actually does make me feel like there's a break between the old and the new. This team has a new identity and a new Uni is just what the doctor ordered. Without the Gray then you pretty much have just another somewhat retro looking Uni. Now it's distinctly about this new era. Granted that we still don't know for sure these are the actual Unis but if they are that would be a good thing IMO.

I prefer the grey to the black... I think it's more modern. I would have preferred blue/orange/white exclusively, but I'm no designer. I just know these are an improvement

When they changed the blue and orange on the website last year I got the feeling they were going to move in this direction. I didn't like it at 1st, but it grew on me. If this is the actual shade of the colors I don't have a problem with it. I think it is a new era so it's good to have a distinct look for this era and in the future we'll have video of the games with this new look and it will even more clearly differentiate this era from all others. OKC should just change theirs anyway. They were always a bit to close to ours IMO.

Ehhh! Nah I don't think it has to do with the material and fit. I don't think the piping would present a problem with the tighter fit. I do think that it is more comfortable not having the piping under the arm pit! I think it's just softer without that raised thicker material under the arm pit. I think it's part of the performance factor. They've been doing a lot of legitimate work on Uni's to make them more helpful to players in cooling and moisture handling. I think range of motion and comfort under the arm for shooting and less chafing would be a sensible thing to improve.

Some of us will likely purchase the jersey and hope it doesn't make us look to WNBAish

I like that better too.. It's good that they didn't sandwich the gray in between the orange and blue. Looks like the orange lettering might be "redder" as well

They look plain but we have to see how the full effect is on the Knicks home floor which I expect will have different graphics, the lighting and in HD tv. It all adds to the effect.

I hope the away color is not too light. I expect for TV purposes they are going with a change. Otherwise why change it? WE talking original charter team here. You don't mess with the color unless there is a good reason!
