  1. The Bucks wore green and red from their inception in 1968 until 1985:
  2. Well, Nike's served us up a veritable plethora of :censored: sandwiches there. I'd like to think that this whole concept has run its course but the kids still seem to dig them, so I guess we're stuck with it.
  3. If the league ever does ABA throwback nights again they need to use the red, white and blue ball. It's just not right with the orange ball.
  4. That would have been on Channel 4, who had been showing the NFL since the early 80s. I seem to remember that they did a similar thing with the NBA when they got the rights to that in the mid-90s.
  5. I wish they'd put the NoB under the number, but these are a huge upgrade.
  6. Doing my weekly shop at my local supermarket and I saw a mobility scooter parked in the entrance atrium totally decked out in Alabama gear, including a huge "Roll Tide" sign on the back. Didn't get a chance to see the person who owned it, but it certainly struck me as an unusual sight for this part of the world.
  7. When I was at high school in the mid-90s I used to walk past a house that was covered in NY Giants signs - a fairly unusual sight in a small town in the English Midlands. I went past the same house for the first time in a decade or so the other day and the original signs are still there, along with a whole load of new ones and a replica helmet mounted on one of the gateposts.
  8. Specifically Game 4 of the Western Conference Semis played on May 11th 1992, a 153-151 Blazers win in double-OT - the final* home game for that uni set. *It was also used in the 1992-93 preseason, leading to a few confusing pics of Barkley in the Western-style unis.
  9. Whilst looking for old Jazz pics, I came across this: That's Slick Watts during the 1977-78 season, wearing a road jersey from the Jazz's inaugural season. This was from a game at Portland - I suspect it's the game on 8th January 1978, Slick's first road game with the team. I'm assuming that there wasn't time to get a current jersey lettered and numbered. Slick wore #14 for his first couple of weeks with the Jazz before switching to #00.
  10. Meriwether wore #31 for his first season with the Jazz, 1977-78, then wore #50 for the start of the 1978-79 season (he was traded to the Knicks after 36 games). The only game he played in Washington as a member of the Jazz that season was the opening game of the season, 13th October 1978.
  11. Must have been a temporary thing - the Jazz had standard NoBs but it looks like Joe C's surname was too long. It fits ok in this picture, although the number is a little low as a result:
  12. My High School barely had uniforms, let alone a logo (it's not really a thing over here) but my university's American Football team stole & recoloured the Carolina Hurricanes logo - it was green and black when I attended, but it's been changed to purple and black at some point in the 20 years since I left.
  13. Yes, but that would be an incredibly stupid argument.
  14. NBA rules state that a player's jersey must display both a front and rear number. It's the only element that HAS to appear on the uniform.
  15. Actually, I got that wrong. Denver wanted to use the ABA ball in a 1995 game against the Pacers - both teams were wearing ABA-era throwbacks.
