Now that’s how you do it.

In my opinion, the 76ers new uniforms immediately put them in the top-five in the NBA. These guys agree. ESPN’s Uni Tracker ranked the best uniforms by city and had great things to say about the 76ers unis as well.

To begin, Philadelphia covered all the bases it requires to nail a re-brand. The logo combines the best features from past versions with a modern look and adds something unique to the city (the stars, a nod to the 13 original colonies).

It also sticks to one of my most strict rules: only one or two primary colors. They easily get away with the American red, white, and blue scheme because neither the red nor blue is too bold. Just as a reminder, the current Timberwolves logo exceeds my rule by a whopping three colors.

Okay, how about some teams that completely blew it? There’s only one team you can start with, and that team is the New Orleans Pelicans.
