The Orlando Magic have unveiled some very bad alternate uniforms
The Orlando Magic have had a very weird offseason filled with questionable decisions, including trading Victor Oladipo to Oklahoma City for Serge Ibaka.
But the team's most questionable move may have come this week when it unveiled a new alternate jersey that is, well, not very good.

Of course, opinions on sports uniforms are subjective, and it's always difficult to fully gauge the quality of a uni before seeing it in action. That being said, this outfit looks more like a reversible Summer League pinnie or knockoff jersey you'd find in the clearance section of a T.J. Maxx than an official NBA jersey.
I guess you can credit the Magic for trying something new, but this jersey is just a mess. There's a significant lack of piping, the center striping is awkward (especially since it doesn't wrap around the whole jersey), the number placement on the front is odd and the alternate logo is not good enough to stand on its own.
On the bright side, at least it doesn't have sleeves, which means it's already much better than the previous alternate the Magic used.
