Man, what are you playing 2k17 on? That looks like its from a Gamecube or something...

Actually, I screengrabbed it from a YouTube video haha. I do have 2k17 myself, but since I don't know how to screengrab from a TV I did the next best thing.

The error that has bugged me for YEARS is NBA 2K's botching of the 90's Golden State Warriors uniforms. The number font is hilariously wrong and they refuse to fix it. It's not even close to what they wore. Amazingly, this is a screengrab from 2K17.

Here was the field for the Panthers first season in 1995 when they played at Clemson Memorial Stadium

So they just painted one end zone? And no midfield logo? I have so many questions.

I've only ever wanted to find one font in my lifetime: the font that NBA on TNT used back in the 1990s.

You know, the one that had the lines coming out of the A's.

I love that font so much for unexplained reasons and have no idea where to find it.

Also, RIP Craig Sager.

I dont know if this has been posted, but I came across this concept for a new Minnesota state flag from 1989 known as the "Northstar Flag". (anyone know if they sell these anywhere?)

 

Funny you mention that!

The answer is yes--the creator (Lee Herold) lives in Rochester, Minnesota and you can get them from his store. I bought one from him when I was living in Rochester once I saw his story.

BTW, it looks great on a wall.

Lakers in their classic uniform against the Wizards, looking at basketballreference the teams didn't face each other during the lockout shortened 1999 season so this was the only season they played against each other in those uniforms

I might forward this to the "Players in Wrong Uniforms" thread for Ben Wallace in Wizards blue.

To keep a winning streak alive, the A's for the only time ever wore gold tops (which they had worn during their win streak at home) on the road five years ago. The players assumed that the gold tops were only for home games, so they were bummed that they couldn't wear them. But that actually was never a rule for their unis so equipment manager Steve Vucinich brought the gold tops along without telling anyone. The players found out when they got to the clubhouse that they could wear the gold tops. They wore it for the series and have never worn the gold tops on the road since. 

 

The old road caps as well with the Mets in their black outline unis during interleague. 

I'm a diehard A's fan and I never knew they wore the golds on the road. That's a hell of a story.

Well yeah, but for right now it's appropriate for the thread. Especially jarring because he's going from one of the best and most prestigious uniforms in sport to hockey's version of a Nascar livery.  

Well, it is Tennessee...

Where is Greg Oden now, anyway?

Now THIS is a rare Expos uni-matchup.

IMO, it still doesn't get better than this.

This is better than their current set which I've grown tired of:

Somewhere in Ontario, CC is hiding his rage at this unpopular opinion.

DePaul legend Dave Corzine!

I just thought of one: Bucks-Kings this past season.

First year of the new Bucks set, last year of the Kings' old set.

This Warriors look is the best they have ever had since moving to Oakland:




The uniforms they have now are so overrated. I can't stand the use of Copperplate font on the jerseys and logo, and I'm a massive Warriors fan.

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?

Oh God. Absolutely no player from the 80s looks good in that trainwreck of a uniform...and I say that as a Warriors fan who came of age during the lightning bolt era.

In fact, here's another one: Bucks/DePaul legend Terry Cummings:

That just looks all types of wrong.

Roberto Alomar doesn't even get his name on his banner??

Lawrence Tureaud, Dunbar High School

"I ain't gettin' on no football field!"

This also counts as "Players With the Wrong Hair".

Why do the A´s insist on sucking so bad ? Why make a movie about that idiot Beane ? Why is the owner allowed to make money on having a MLB team and not be interested in winning/spending money ?

Trust me, A's fans have been wondering the same thing for decades now.

There should be a separate topic for all of the washed up veterans the A's hve signed over the years.

It took five years, but the classic Seahawks met the Carolina Panthers for the only time in the year 2000.

This is a beautiful looking matchup. I miss the Seahawks old blue/green.

I love how you predicted the Sydney/Hawthorn Grand Final in June haha. Anyway, maybe you can do a Washington State concept using a pattern like the waves on Seattle's flag? Also, I'm getting a strong Carlton vibe from the NY jersey, which is good.

I liked the navy/sand combo for the Padres the best. Brown and yellow is okay, but I loved the sand-colored road unis and the look of navy blue and sand together.
