We've seen Nike's Association, Icon and Statement jerseys. Now it's time for NBA teams to represent their cities.

Nike unveiled its City Edition uniforms Wednesday afternoon with an in-depth explanation for how each team's new threads were created. As with any new uniform release, there were some significant hits and misses.

If you want to take a look at every jersey, follow the link HERE, but for now, let's take a look at the five best and worst design choices (in no particular order) based on what has emerged.

Best Nike NBA City Edition Jerseys

Bulls

A sleek design with the stars and cursive "Chicago" providing a nice touch.

Bucks

A good call to keep the "Fear the Deer" look while switching things up with a cream base color.

Pacers

Why not throw in a checkerboard finish for the home of the Indy 500? As if Victor Oladipo didn't already look fast enough.

Sixers

At some point, we have to get a "Trust the Process" alternate uniform, right? Until then, these Philly specials will work just fine with a font fit for the Declaration of Independence.

Wizards

Sometimes simple is better. You could argue these would have looked even cooler with just "The District" on the jersey, but these could serve as a nice post-Christmas gift for anyone in the D.M.V. area.

Bonus: Heat

Nike notes the Rockets, Heat, Knicks and Raptors will release their jerseys at a later date, but Miami's appeared to leak out Wednesday. This "Miami Vice" look might just be the best in the league.

Worst Nike NBA City Edition Jerseys

Hornets

Can you guys please just wear these classics all the time?

Magic

Orlando's new threads may have been inspired by Dwight Schrute's wolf shirt.

Mavericks

Created on Microsoft Paint.

Timberwolves

No, you're not suddenly colorblind. Nike was going for the "tonal gray winter coat of the wolf," but these just aren't all that interesting.

Thunder

What is going on here? Just let Oklahoma City natives make the next Thunder jerseys.
