Bouj Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I know it's not actually true, but it feels like the only pictures in existence of that Cardinals v Orioles-Dressed-As-Browns game feature Sidney Ponson.

And they wore road throwbacks a few times in their last season in New Jersey. (Though the home New York Nets throwback was a style that the team also wore after it moved to New Jersey.) Best basketball uniforms ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 16 hours ago, infrared41 said: Best basketball uniforms ever. Which version? The originals or the throwbacks? The throwbacks are not accurate. The originals had the stripe more or less on the front of the jersey and shorts, with the wordmark and number off center to the viewer's left. The throwbacks had the stripe more to the side of the jersey and shorts, with the wordmark and number centered.

The originals or the throwbacks? The only difference is the number font. The Nets switched to varsity numbers in 1976-77, their first year in the NBA. Here is a shot of Dr. J wearing this style in a Sports Illustrated photo shoot with Dave Cowens, for the heartbreaking "One Big League" cover. Of course, on account of some dirty dealing by the Knicks, which resulted in a surprise "territorial fee" being levied on the Nets at the last minute, the team had to sell Erving. So he never suited up in that style uniform; nor did he ever dribble an NBA ball in a Nets uniform. The Nets were inconsistent with the number style from then on. Bernard King: Otis Birdsong: The last season with these uniforms, 1988-89, featured varsity numbers. I prefer the varsity numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old version was also off center, unlike the current version. If you look at the originals, a line drawn down the center of the jersey would go between the T and S and splits the second digit. On the throwbacks, it would go between the E and T and between the digits.

I guess I tend to overlook that because I regard it as merely a rationalisation of the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
