I like the color of the Hawks road unis but there's no question that the stylized print of the nale is super-lame. No character at all. In fact, I actually got distracted by the blandness (is that a word?) of the jersey. They look great from behind...except for the reverse neckline addition. Pretty disappointing overall.
