JaMikePA Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is a real uniform the Steelers play off-season basketball in. They're playing the Pitt Panthers soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 NFL get's a wild hair and starts off-season NFL basketball league !! Keep that year round exposure at all cost even by playing a different sport, it would be interesting for sure especially for cities that don't have NBA teams. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Better than a lot of actual NBA uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's a solid looking uniform, but I wonder why they don't use the same numbers as the football uniforms.

leopard88 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 NFL teams playing basketball in the offseason used to be pretty common. This guy might look familiar. http://www.yorkblog.com/yorkspast/2017/02/05/baltimore-colts-at-central/ Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Seattle Seahawks also had a charity basketball team called the "Rainhawks" in their early years. I agree with ClayStation about NFL teams playing other sports (like basketball and softball) to keep the league exposure a year-round one. It's all in good fun, too.

Sykotyk Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Steelers have played charity basketball games in local high schools for a long time. Usually against faculty of the school in question as a Globetrotters/Washington Generals situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I remember back in 96 or 97, the Packers and Cowboys played basketball here in Racine...I still have my ticket stashed away somewhere, and I remember the house was packed (no pun intended).

MJWalker45 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 When I was at Presidio of Monterey, the 49ers came out to play a combined military team. I wish I'd have taken pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team that had sleeved basketball jerseys were the Cincinnati Reds, shown first in their uniforms, and then in their warmups. It's cool that these teams have put such good effort into creating basketball uniforms. By contrast, the Islanders' softball uniforms were pretty cheesy. The Islanders and Rangers used to play softball against each other every year. Surprisingly, there are almost no pictures of this to be found.

Never heard of these crossover jerseys. Wonder when this stopped... I'd love Giants v Jets in basketball. Eli playing bball would be a sight to see!

MJWalker45 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Some teams still do this, it just doesn't get much national press. It's almost exclusively alumni though as opposed to active players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
