No you are wrong: the uniforms have changed DRAMATICALLY from the short shorts of the 1970s to the baggy gansta look; and the ultra-bright colors and logos are different. Compare, for ex., the "rising sun" logo of the Phx. Suns in the 1970s with the "rising phoenix" logo today---it looks like something a biker or inmate would wear. Look at the black and purple of the Sacramento Kings, and the black socks that are so common.
Heck, just watch the home teams' "intro videos" that they play before every player introduction. It is total "gangsta" rapperism.

You make good points, but I thought the baggy thing mostly came in with Michael Jordan (most overexposed athlete of all time), not to reflect gang wear. As far as the Sacramento Kings, they've traditionally been one of the "whiter" teams. To me this doesn't look a like a gang-banger, but maybe I'm just oblivious.
