Excerpt from Clutchfans.com :
There was a David Stern-imposed league-wide moratorium on the usage of black due to the "gangsta" image it might convey. (Ex. Iverson in the Philly Black jersey) This moratorium was imposed a few years ago when Stern was concerned about the league's image presented by the players, thus the "dress code" for non-game related activities. This moratorium also killed black alternate jerseys for Houston, NY, Toronto, Orlando, and Boston. In Boston's case, the concept was scrapped altogether for their current alternate set, green jersey with black numerals and side panels.
But now, it appears the league maybe rethinking its position on this moratorium. the Wizards just recently got a black alternate jersey (albeit half-black/half-gold) and now Toronto will have a black alternate jersey for this season.
Furthermore, there will be the following changes.
The Hornets, Timberwolves, Magic, and Kings are all getting new uniforms.
The Heat will have a new secondary logo. (As seen on the draft cap)
The Nuggets will have changes made the their primary logo (Royal Blue Mountains),
as well as the elimination of the DN logo and the slight addition of Royal blue to there home and Road uniforms (on side panels). The pick-axe logo will be added above the nameplate on the back of the jersey.
Along with a new alternate jersey, Toronto will have new secondary logos along with a recolored matching primary logo, thus ending "the Purple Reign" altogether.
The Bobcats will have new secondary logos and a "5 year Anny" logo.
The Sixers will have a "60th Anny Logo"

Someone who has seen the uniforms tries to make their own rendering, which looks a lot similar to the screenshot
