Ugh. As both a fan of the Atlanta Hawks and a basketball jersey aficionado, I’ve been dreading writing this piece. But with the Coronavirus sidelining play for at least 30 days, I guess there’s no better time.

Outside the loss of DeMarre Carroll, the team was looking to run it back with all their best players returning. Even with a very similar roster, Atlanta looked very different the next season.
The Hawks revealed new colors, jerseys and logos, moving away from the fairly plain-looking kits they had rocked since 2007.
