This obviously qualifies for the players in the wrong uniform thread as well. I totally forgot about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, this is somewhat of a rare sight seeing the original 'THE CITY' jerseys in the Oakland Coliseum. That Oakland Tribune logo!!! Not gonna lie, this might be the best looking uniform match-up I've ever seen. Probably one of the rarest too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the Sonics street car picture. I love the official team pics on famous landmarks during NBA Global Games. Here are the 5 NBA teams that played here in Rio for example: It looks really nice, but I think they should change the spot every year, specially in cities with load of famous landmarks. 1 Quote Twitter | Instagram | Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadmanLA Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Micheal Ray taking to it Kareem during the Knicks' "blue and maroon" era... Earl the Pearl (AKA Black Jesus) in the twilight years...Getty says this picture took place in 1980, but the Knicks' blue and maroon uniforms were in place starting in '79-80. This certainly had to be in 1978-1979...the Pistons starting wearing their short-lived "lightning bolt" uniforms beginning that season (it was also the first [and only full] season of Dick Vitale as head coach). Notably, the Pearl wore #10 when he was with the Baltimore Bullets, but he wore #33, and I guess, #14 in his rookie year ('67-68). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 These funky mid-70's Memphis Sounds ABA uniforms were cool. Unfortunately the franchise (and the league itself), was not around much longer. As a dumb kid I loved the name Sounds...but didn't make the music connection. Upon a visit to Memphis, I asked my brother "is that the Memphis sound"? He said, "no idiot, that's the Mississippi River". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd ever seen those "lightning bolt" Pistons shorts. They're also mismatched - the jersey number starts with a 4, the shorts are #35.

MkDon Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Just found this. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Charlotte Hornets played a preseason game in the New Orleans Arena in 2000. Just two years later, the Hornets moved to New Orleans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nwuAMQxMFo&t=0m59s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 According to Getty, those pictures were taken on October 21st, 2001 and October 15th, 2001 respectively: http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/guard-brent-barry-of-the-seattle-supersonics-dunks-the-ball-news-photo/536663#oct-2001-guard-brent-barry-of-the-seattle-supersonics-dunks-the-ball-picture-id536663 http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/isaac-austin-of-the-memphis-grizzlies-moves-with-the-ball-news-photo/527807#oct-2001-isaac-austin-of-the-memphis-grizzlies-moves-with-the-ball-picture-id527807 The 2001-02 season didn't begin until October 30th: http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2002_games.html So these would have been from preseason games.

Old School Fool Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is the last time Michael Jordan was ever at the Boston Garden during the 2nd half of the 1994-95 season. Also of note is Dominique Wilkins who is playing for the Celtics. Nobody really remembers that. This next picture is from the final game at the Boston Garden. Here you can plainly see the difference in the shade of green on the original Garden floor and a different Celtics logo. The Celtics used this version of the logo (colored in too) up until 2002 or something. Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
