Over the past few years, Miami Heat have had some of the most iconic and eye-pleasing jerseys in the game.
Namely, it’s their Miami-vice color scheme that has been so loved by the community and, even though this year’s jerseys have been controversial, they still stand out as some of the best in the league.
But judging by the fan reactions to the leaked 2021-22 jerseys, that could be about to change.
The unconfirmed leak features black jerseys with mismatched print, a rather interesting and bizarre look.
This is reportedly a Miami Heat alternative jersey for next season. 👀

It definitely gets some points for originality, but many fans in the comments just weren’t feeling the style.

As one fan pointed out, the new jerseys are actually a combination of all of Miami’s past designs.
Seriously, it’s a neat idea and certainly a bold move, even if it doesn’t look all that great in execution.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see if they stick with the design next season or move on to something else.
