The Atlanta Hawks unveiled bold, new, neon jerseys last night and the fans of the NBA are pretty divided. Yes you read that right. Neon.
As a Baylor Bears fan I approve, but I can understand why the move has gained a fair share of haters. In no way are these things iconic.

And easily my favorite tweet from the haters:

Of course, none of this is tantamount to the reaction the Los Angeles Clippers got when they rebranded their logo. That was just a bad decision all-around. But I can’t help but feel that the Hawks should have just kept
It’s a bold new strategy for the NBA team that’s looking to keep the forward momentum going from 2014-2015.
