The Heat’s Vice jerseys were pure Miami & made Dwyane Wade's game-winners look even better | Threads

When the #NBA announced that each team would design City Edition jerseys starting in the 2017-18 season, one franchise was ready with a design that would become a modern classic. This is the story of how the Miami Heat tapped into the '80s to create a Vice phenomenon.

Miami should use the Vice uniforms as their main uniform, not just city edition. They look awesome.

[@noelbate505]

The black ones are probably the most memorable since that was Wade's last season, I remember him hitting that game winner against the warriors with that jersey

[@kingX777]

Powder blue, Finals run #2

[@trojans7]

The Vice Nights jersey was STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥. That one NBA 2K cover with Wade wearing the Vice Nights...🔥
They NEED to bring THOSE back!

Greatest Threads of All Time 🔥🔥🔥

supersonics or the Detroit pistons or the jazz

[@MrBugatii12]

We don't get on ESPN for our play, but we get on here for our jerseys. Cool I guess.

[@ol305stunna]

The original Jersey's are pure Miami

[@caru9982]

Still don’t get why they got rid of them🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Notcleverenough]

Because Pink

[@noelbate505]

They to have to change it every year

[@Steve_305]

Cause they were out selling 29 other teams

[@lexboogie2]

The all blue vice 💙 is 🔥🔥🔥

[@SmileyTK3]

LET'S GO HEAT!

[@kaayjaay2]

Miami Heat have the best jerseys in the NBA

[@knowledgeseeker1528]

And best franchise

[@zacharyeast412]

The Heat refusing to go Vice full time will forever be a mistake imo.

[@ajg8722]

Straight fax bro

[@sheltonbenjaminofcarolcity7041]

Yea definitely we love vice in Miami

[@boblesnar8601]

Vice versa was so ugly. The others were cool:

[@ImLiSteD]

Idk about being forever a mistake. They have solid gear all around the new mashups are nice as well. I agree though if they don’t bring back vice jerseys for certain games it would be unfortunate. Loved the vice theme especially the court.

[@stayoffmygrass5912]

Heat nation stand up !!!

[@TheTMSxGaming]

I’ll accept this Miami coverage

[@hooray_for_sam]

Close out tonight!

[@BP8rson]

Loved the White and Black versions of the Vice kits however I wasn't a fan of the Pink, and Blue and hated the Gradient fade. Now I want to Miami to release a Dwayne Wade pack of every variant and to be sold as a set.

[@TheRenaissanceGuys]

Better than their main unis

[@awc6007]

Need these back, Ik the blue and pink ones got mixed reception but those were my favourites.

[@IsmokeHiphopLive]

can you feel the heat down in your soul…i feel the heat down in my soul…we’re miami heat we can’t be beat we’re miami heat!!! 🎶🎶

[@iexist_15]

They should be the full time jerseys.

[@markrivz5580]

Dope jerseys

[@jasonwatson5973]

Vice night was the coldest one out of the entire lineup. I think vice versa is when it went too far

[@erickschaefer5886]

Facts

[@M0T0283]

they should honestly make that their full time look. it would be the most unique loon in the league. their current look is so basic they wear three of the most common colors in the league red black and yellow.

[@claudiorabsten7179]

miami heat could easily have endless ideas of how they want the miami vice blue pink jerseys to look like in every way for decades

[@M0T0283]

i will say though my only gripe is that they for some reason make the stripe run down on only one side of the uniform… and only one side of the shorts with a trim

[@user-op9gm3cb6y]

heat nation baby!!!!!!!!

[@dannythedon82]

They need to go back to the vice jerseys not these Mashup ones. I have some orginal Miami Vice t-shirts that I've had since I was a kid and 1 of the shirts is yellow with pink and blue Miami Vice lettering. I'd live to see that colorway and the other shirt I have os black with purple and Grey Miami Vice lettering so both of those colorways would be excellent editions and of course they need a keylime colorway with pink and blue lettering.

[@ihonestlydontevenknow4359]

they need to be the permanent jerseys. that vice versa jersey would be a phenomenal alternate.

[@BSmokeyGaming]

Non Heat fans like these Miami type jerseys cause it reminds them of GTA Vice City. Also took the style from the Miami Vice show from the 80s.

[@gragalakaisel1477]

People like vice uniform but people don't know heat don't use that anymore because WE ALWAYS LOSE EVERYTIME WE WEAR IT

[@rzawistowski33]

So they don't talk about Miami as a team in the playoffs, but they'll talk about uniforms that created 5 years ago, interesting

[@Steve_305]

Im disappointed I never bought one smh if Heat wins a champion they need to bring back Vice get rid of those ugly mashup with hostsge letters

We've barely had any coverage throughout the whole season. Suck it up buddy.

[@charlesmarkm]

No one in Miami cares about Dwyane Wade anymore, stop acting like he's a thing. He was, and is not. That's it.

[@GG.305]

Speak for yourself my guy. D Wade will always be a Miami legend to a lot of us

[@LUKAMANIA]

Not iconic lmfao

[@ethanstages3844]

Definitely iconic. So heavily in demand that fans are begging for them to bring it back
