After a flurry of unveilings, NBA teams have finished rolling out this season's City Edition uniforms. Twenty-nine of the league's 30 teams have new City designs (the Jazz are sticking with last season's design), and they'll start appearing on the court on Friday night.Your friendly uniform
Nike Air Max 270 Donne columnist has already assessed and graded the first and second rounds of this year's City designs. Here are some thoughts on the third and final round of releases,
Adidas Prophere Womens from best to worst:Oooh, beauty. Easily the best uniform the Pelicans have ever worn. Only the flush-left number, which feels a bit off (wouldn't centered or even flush right be better?), keeps this one from getting a perfect mark. Grade: AGreen and gold? Always a

Nike Air Max 97 Damen black alternate design. Except this one actually works, with the blue elements really popping against the black background. Too bad about the vertical lettering at the base of the shorts, though, which feels like an afterthought.
Wait a minute, weren't retro designs supposed to be categorized as the "Classic Edition," not the "City Edition"? Whatever. This is a slight variation on a throwback that the Knicks wore in 2005-06, and then they wore the corresponding white home version in 2015-16. Overall, this
