    It's been 10 years, should made the change for this season already to completely new jerseys. I am actually fine with the logo, don't know what the fuss is about. And for those wanting a freaking mcdonalds ketchup and mustard on their burgers, let's keep it at that.

    i think the Clippers do what the OP is suggesting (team name home jerseys ,city name away jerseys), and it seems like a good idea marketing wise

    That's how it is for most teams. People who are fans that live outside of the city want stuff that has the team name. A big exception being New York but NY is as much apart of the team as the Knicks. Even the Celtics have their name on the away jersey.

    Notable Teams:
    Lakers
    Celtics
    Heat
    Spurs
    Pistons

    Are you sure? I think the Celtics just have alternate jerseys that say Boston that they wear every now and then.

    yes, as alternate jerseys.

    but their standard road jerseys used to always say Celtics, just like the Lakers road jersey.

    however, both franchises feature their alternate jerseys many times throughout the season and it is not uncommon to see.

    I agree with the OP, it should be standard.

    and Boston seemed to have made the same assessment as they are going with every road jersey featuring city name this season

    this has been discussed before, and almost all the fans wants that, like the rockets did with the 90s and earlier uniforms.
