PHOTO: Nuggets reveal alternate jerseys, complete with pickaxes

The sleeved jersey phenomenon among NBA alternate uniforms is by most accounts an acquired taste, but that hasn't stopped the Denver Nuggets from joining the fray.

On Wednesday, the team revealed their new "WHITEGOLD" (yes, with all caps) jerseys, set to debut next month.

Even better is the modeling, featuring Danilo Gallinari and Kenneth Faried holding pickaxes as if they were about to go mining in the Rockies.

This glamour shot of Gallinari takes the cake however. "WHITEGOLD" is reminiscent here of "Blue Steel."
