Fascinating.
And, aren't those the Pistons' silver jerseys too?
Yeah, the metallic ones they only wore for 1981-82.

At the beginning of this clip- Dominique Wilkins NOT in the Pacman Atlanta Hawks jersey (His first dunk was in the early 80s uni)
Good catch! The Hawks only wore that uni for the opening game of the '83 season, switching to the Pac-Man unis for the next game against Boston (no idea why they wore the old unis for a game, maybe the new ones weren't ready yet?).

A while back, I touched on the Orlando Magic's inagural season (1989-90) being the only times they met "striped" New Jersey Nets; the same can be said of the old Indiana Pacers before their uniforms were overhauled by Flo-Jo the following season; I have no game pics of those meetings.
Also, the powder blue Kings unis were in their last year in '89-90. Plus that was also the first year for the Timberwolves, too.

Here's Mark Price as a Warrior.
This leads me to a question...
There are plenty of pictures of Price in the Warriors yellow and blue set, but this is the only one I could find of him in this jersey. He only played one season with Golden State (96-97). Did they wear two different uniform sets that year?
That's from the 1997-98 preseason, he played a couple of games with the Warriors (in the new unis) before being traded to the Magic.

Bonus points for being in San Jose.
When was this? The card is from the '97-'98 season, the same year the Warriors debuted those jerseys, but according to the mothership, Charlotte last wore those purple jerseys in '95-'96. Hmm...
This photo should have been taken from the '97-'98 preseason.
Yeah, the mothership's wrong (again). The Hornets wore the purple alts up until 1996-97, and that exhibition game vs. the Warriors on Oct. 10 1997 was the last time those alts were ever worn, since the Hornets changed unis that season.
It's also a rare case of a team wearing new unis in the preseason, as typically teams will wait until the regular season starts to debut the new threads.

In response to the question of players who did a photo shoot with their new team, but never played a game with them, here's my submission from 5 years ago:
Here's one that most people don't remember...
Portland picked up Moses Malone in the ABA dispersal draft, and traded him away before the '76-'77 season started. Just about as bad as picking Bowie over Jordan, IMHO. Enough ranting, here's a pic...
Picture is for bid on eBay.
He did play in the preseason for Portland - in fact, he played so well Jack Ramsey wanted to keep him, but by that point the Blazers had already agreed to trade him to Buffalo. Here's Moses from one of the 2 games he played for the Braves:

From Getty:
BOSTON - 1997: Marty Conlan #30 of the Boston Celtics drives to the basket against Buck Williams #52 of the New York Knicks during a game played in 1997 at the Fleet Center in Boston' date=' Massachusetts.[/quote']
DIRECT LINK: (http://www.gettyimag...rty conlan 1997)
Looks like the Celtics were wearing the '46-'69 Home Jersey (Throwback Night), based on the description on Getty Images it was a game played in 1997. The date the image was created was on Jan 1st 1997 if that helps in anyway...
The game in question was played January 10, 1997.
Lots of teams used throwback unis to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the NBA - at the time, a big deal was made about how it was the first time the NBA was using throwback uniforms, although teams had been doing it for one-off games going back to 1992 (I have a full list of games if anyone wants it).

That's 'cause it's not legit - it's a custom jersey based off a design on this page: http://www.nba.com/suns/00634541.html
That particular seller is notorious for making custom jerseys and passing them off as either game-worn or "prototypes"...

Dominique with the Spurs, Tim's number too...
I see your 'Nique Spurs pic, and raise you:
'Nique in a Magic uni, during his final comeback in '99.
And for good measure, because I always thought he looked weird wearing this particular Hawks uni:

First bootleg jersey I saw was around 1994 - red Houston Rockets #34. One of my best friends bought it on holiday in Spain and wore it every practice our first year of high school basketball. It was actually pretty good quality compared to the authentics I had at the time - heavy mesh, sewn-on names & numbers, no manufacturer's tags or anything. I ended up buying it off him a few years later (then giving it back to him as a gag gift even later still).
There also used to be a stall in Birmingham's Rag Market that sold a load of dodgy US sports gear, mostly hockey & football. This'd have been around the same time, '94-'96. There was actually a sports shop that specialized in stuff from the US leagues just outside from where this stall was (the only place around to get authentic & pro-cut NBA jerseys back then), so it was easy enough to compare the real with the fake.
-
Sorry for the poor quality image, but here's Nuggets legend Alex English playing for the Celtics:
From the movie "Amazing Grace & Chuck". English actually played in an exhibition game for the Celtics in order to get the footage for the movie - couldn't imagine the NBA letting something like that happen nowadays...
-
Is it a toddler size? That star is HUGE.
I don't know I couldn't find a size anywhere.
Could be legit, I have a Sand-Knit home version of that jersey and the star's freakin' enormous, much bigger than it looked on the actual unis.

Hi Guys; I was hoping somebody could help me out with an early 90s NBA jersey...
Back in the early to mid 90;s, Starter NBA jerseys were a huge trend in Australia (and the satin jackets, to a lesser extent). Was Starter a legitimate manufacturer of the lower end NBA jerseys? I know that Champion were making the screen printed jerseys in the mid-90s. Here is an image of something I'm watching on ebay, does it look legit?
Cheers
Starter didn't start making NBA unis until the late 90's - I think it was 1998. That Hornets jersey is a definate fake - it looks like it was made based on a vague description of an actual jersey...
-
Thanks for the clarification. Its a damn shame, I too have been looking for late 85-93 kings throwbacks. Mainly Wayman Tisdale, Richmond, Theus, and Hurley.
Same here. I have 93-94 home & road Richmond jerseys, but I want the powder blues...
@Redsox44 - there were also Heat & Bucks soul swingmen. The 81-82 Bucks jerseys are damn near impossible to find - I've seen maybe 3 or 4 on ebay in the last 5 years.
-
Was wondering if anyone knew the story on this jersey? Is it real/fake? Did Adidas have a program known as the swingman soul line? Want to buy but being cautious.
Swingman Soul jerseys were identical to regular swingmans (swingmen?), but of retired players. I have a few, typical Adidas "quality". The Theus looks like a fake though - I'm not sure if Adidas released his jersey. Shame, 'cause I've been trying to get a couple of mid-80s Kings jerseys for a while.
-
thinking about an Australian Counterfit? Check out this attempt at the 90s Raptors jerseys - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NBA-jerseys-Lakers-76ers-Toronto-Raptors-ONeal-Iverson-Bogues-/230679595709?pt=AU_Basketball_Sporting_Equipment&hash=item35b5934abd
Yeah, but at least this guy has the decency to state that they're bootleg jerseys: "Jerseys are replicas and not authentic licensed NBA merchandise."
As if it wasn't obvious enough...

Howabout possibly the only time Allan Houston wore the Pistons' horsehead unis (he signed with the Knicks just a short while late):

One that I'm 99.9% sure hasn't been posted yet - Sidney Moncrief, during his one-year stint with the Hawks:

What the hell is THIS!
Nevermind...I should have checked the site first. I am not an NBA fan, but I had never seen that before.
Yeah, they wore that for a couple of seasons back around 1979-81. Isiah never wore that uni though, the Pistons switched to the classic Bad Boy look for his rookie season.

grown men shouldnt wear jerseys anyway.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one.
Is there a reason for that? I don't understand. PArticularly on a website for people obsessed with logos, uniforms, and sports in general.
Not to mention some "grown men" who wear jerseys earn more in one year than you will probably see in your life time.
It's just my opinion. I just think jerseys are a little goofy for men to be wearing around, particularly football jerseys. And that goes for going to game or going to the store. IMO, there is no proper situation for the man jersey. And just because you make some money doesn't mean you can't look like a jackass.
But they are ok on women, right?
Tell me there is something sexier than a girl wearing an NFL Jersey....
Yeah, a girl wearing a hockey jersey.

I recently bought a fake Milwaukee Bucks M&N jersey ('84 Bob Lanier), which cost the equivalent of $25. Compared to the authentic version I have, it's actually better quality (everything sewn on, which is technically inaccurate, better quality material & stitching). It almost seems a shame to cut it up - I only bought it so I could use the side panels on a custom jersey I'm making.
