In the NBA, there’s no simple formula for designing an incredible jersey. Some have a timeless, classic feel to them. Some are bold, innovative or modern. The only unifying factor is that they’re all top-notch aesthetic products. Keep in mind that the following list only took regular home and away jerseys into account — no alternates!

Even if the team stays this bad forever, the consistent orange, blue and white look will never go out of style. The ugly waistbands on the Knicks’ shorts could use some work, but this is only a jersey ranking.

Washington's non-font design on the front of their jerseys pays off in a big way. Everything from the smartly divided color segments to the grey outline around the numbers is well thought out and visually pleasing.

8. Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte might have had a down year on the court, but at least they were one of the best-dressed teams in the league. The Hornets rebrand was a long time coming, and it was worth the wait, producing a modern jersey that totally encapsulates what the team nickname is about.

7. Portland Trail Blazers

Like the Wizards, the Blazers shook up the front of their jerseys and absolutely nailed it. With a name like Trail Blazers, you might as well be bold, and the red, black and grey stripes certainly accomplish that.

6. Utah Jazz

It’s a far cry from their purple mountain jerseys of the Stockton-Malone era, but the Jazz have found a winner with their current choice. The color scheme is on point and the arrangement gives it a classic but also fresh feel.

5. Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers might not be the best team in La La Land anymore, but they certainly have the best jerseys. Gorgeous font and striking complementary colors make for an unforgettable, timeless look.

4. Chicago Bulls

The Bulls sport a simple jersey that’s bolstered by the iconic players and championship teams that have worn it. The striped pattern on the collar and sleeves adds another cool element to the mix.

3. Milwaukee Bucks

Unveiled at an enormous team block party, the Bucks’ new jerseys gave fans something to be excited about. It’s a rugged, but sleek look that sets the right tone for a new era of Milwaukee basketball, and backs up their slogan, “Own the Future.” Plus, the block of blue and all the other colored stripes on the side are a unique touch that puts an exclamation point on the whole design.

2. Boston Celtics

Boston has messed around with some slightly funkier variations and alternate jerseys over the years, but changing up their style is the last thing they need to do. The simple green-and-white design not only looks great, it keeps the mystique alive of all the legendary Celtics who have won titles dressed in it: Russell, Havlicek, Bird, Pierce and so many more.

1. Golden State Warriors

The Warriors have dominated the NBA from day one this season, and that extends to their on-court attire. For Stephen Curry’s first few years in the league, Golden State was still wearing its tacky red/dark blue jerseys, and just like Curry’s game, the improvement in their current threads has been drastic. The jersey perfectly blends a classic logo with modern fonts and numbering, putting it all together in a package befitting of a 67-win team.
