Grading The Week: What’s wrong with Nuggets’ new Nike alternate jerseys? We’ll give you 5,280 things
Nike sure is high on Denver being high. As in, high up.
So the fashionistas up in the Grading The Week offices got a gander at the Nuggets’ new “City Edition” jerseys that leaked online a few days ago, along with those of their NBA peers.
The usual gang of idiots walked away with eight immediate takeaways:
1. Yuck.
2. The Knicks’ jersey hurts our eyes.
3. The Celtics’ jersey hurts our brains.
4. Thumbs up to any throwback nods — especially ABA throwbacks.
5. Memphis’s look rules. Bring back the Sounds!
6. Thumbs up to the Mavs and Clips.
7. Why does the Sixers’ drop seem more like a classic Nuggets look than what Nike gave the actual Nuggets?
8. And speaking of the Nuggets, why does Nike insist on putting a “5280” where a “Denver” or a “Nuggets” would suffice?
Nuggets’ new drip — C-minus
That said, Team GTW sincerely hopes you enjoy today’s edition of the 5280 Post. Especially our coverage of the 5280 Broncos. And the 5280 Nuggets. And the University of 5280 Pios. You could even read it on the way to 5280 International Airport. But before you go, make sure to try the 5280 Omelette, which reportedly evolved from the 5280 Sandwich.
Really? We’re doing “5280” again? Is there a reason the Nuggets’ jersey is one of only a handful of “City Edition” jerseys that don’t make a reference to a city on it anywhere?
Even Toronto gets a little red raptor dude doing his best 2000 Vince Carter, for pity’s sake. Would it be too much to ask for a jersey that features Maxie Miner doing the Sombor Shuffle?
Over in the GTW offices, we don’t just love clever. We adore it.
That said, the Nuggets’ new alternate has so much clever slammed into one jersey that it’s hard to tell what the heck is going on.
And, sorry, Nike, call us old fogeys, but … yeah, this whole “5280” thing was played out two years ago. Enough.
Hey, we love tasteful white-on-white looks as much as the next Fanatics.com shopper. But the whole “rainbow” theme on this one is so subtle that it comes off as a psychedelic mess.
Is that a meteorological map going down the side panels?
Is it a light show from a 1967 Pink Floyd concert?
Are those the ultrasounds from a gender reveal?
Oooohhhhh! Got it. It’s a topographic deal but done in classic Nuggets “rainbow” colors. And we see it now: It also features a line of mountain peaks, in a sort of “rainbow” pattern, hidden within the “5280” graphic splashed across the chest. You know, where actual letters should be. How crazy is that?
We can count the ways. About 5,280 of them, now that you mention it.
DU men’s soccer — A
Meanwhile, in college news that came across the GTW inbox that didn’t involve CSU changing leagues or a member of the Sanders family, it turns out the Pios are No. 1 again.
Only it’s not the hockey squad. Or the latest gymnastics poll.
After a stretch of seven unbeaten matches, the Top Drawer men’s soccer poll on Monday slotted DU as the nation’s No. 1 program. It was the first No. 1 ranking for the Pios (4-0-4) since October 2018.
The United Soccer Coaches poll, released Tuesday, slotted DU third nationally, behind only Pittsburgh at No. 2 and Stanford at No. 1.
The Pios thumped Yale 4-1 last weekend and celebrated their ascent up the polls with a 0-0 home draw against Portland this past Thursday evening. DU hosts Seattle (2-2-2) at 7 p.m. Sunday.

DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny
Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
