Discrim Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not sure either the Eagles or Heat count here, considering neither has played anywhere else (not counting the Steagles season), and in the Heat's case, they're not remotely the same franchise as the Floridians.

SilverBullet1929 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'm being half funny but it's also accurate as far as being different cities but the Miami Marlins playing in the City of Miami wearing throwbacks to the Florida Marlins who played in the city of Miami Gardens fits the topic here.

Agreed. The Heat/Floridians one doesn't fit these criteria, since they're not throwing back to an old city. I'm not sure the Yellow Jackets one does either, since Frankford is a neighborhood in Philadelphia. So the Philadelphia Eagles were throwing back to Philadelphia. It;'s not like the Detroit Lions throwing back to Portsmouth, Ohio, or the Bears doing a Decatur throwback game. As mentioned in the OP, the Arizona Cardinals did a Chicago throwback in 1994. Two of them, in fact, home and road uniforms. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimball Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Philadelphia 76ers as the Syracuse Nationals Does the Golden State Warriors wearing San Francisco Warriors count too? Kinda, sorta, I guess? San Antonio Spurs as the Dallas Chaparrals SIDE NOTE: It's too bad that these matchups between former ABA teams aren't played with a red,white and blue ball. Something I know that happened a few times in the early-mid(ish) 90s. The Sacramento Kings as the Rochester Royals They did this a couple of times. I believe the white home ones were the season they were flirting with moving to Anaheim as the Anaheim Royals. and ... Sacramento Kings as the Cincinnati Royals "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Why against the Spurs and Magic? Especially in Orlando? I have NOOOOO idea, especially considering the Floridians never played regional games in Orlando (that I am aware of). But, there's a Nuggets game in the mid-90s that I am sure used an ABA ball as well? Anyways, that was a nice tangent.

pepis21 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Some sites recognise this jersey also as a St. Louis Hawks, I'm not sure if it's true or not. If yes you can add another team to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The Eagles were not throwing back to Frankford. Different franchises, different teams, just same city. Eagles orig colors were the same as Frankford’s, that’s all.

Discogod Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yeah, 1994-95 preseason, the ABA ball was used by the Nuggets and Pacers for an ABA throwback game. Got pictures of the unis, but I've never seen a colour pic of game action showing the ball in use. I believe there was some talk about potentially using the ABA ball in one of the games of the '03 Finals, the first to feature 2 ABA teams - that was shot down fairly quickly, although the Nets did receive permission to wear the throwback unis .

BShaw20 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yea and the Lakers wore the MPLS in Minneapolis vs the Wolves, too. Arts there other teams that did that, maybe the Atlanta Braves wore Boston Braves in Fenway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63Bulldogs63 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The Kings have also thrown back to their days in Kansas City as seen here in a game against the Lakers who also whore the double blue script Los Angeles jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseHusker Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Don't know if this counts, since technically it was a "merge", but in the AFL the Brisbane Lions occasionally wear Fitzroy jumpers. I guess you could say the Sydney Swans have also worn a couple guernseys based on South Melbourne designs, so that would count too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
