MellowTheMyth Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Recently, I was pondering on throwback uniforms; watching NBA teams wear road throwbacks at home and vice versa lead me to this question. Particularly, why do some teams only use one uniform of a specific set, as opposed to using both? The last time I remember such an instance would be the AFL 50th Anniversary during 2009 or the NFL's 75th Anniversary in 1994. Wanted to open the discussion to learn why does it seem to be uncommon to use both a home & road throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Probably due to league rules we don't know about, and likely about maintaining a strong brand. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Since they are usually only worn at home most teams will only make one set rather than both home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
