Their first blue alt jersey was this one they started wearing in 1997 (my favorite):

 

The Twins blue one came in 1998 to replace the awesome red Twins alternate.

 

 

After the Sunday Red was discontinued after two games they wore the Navy "Minnesota" for Sunday home games as well as in 1998. 1999 or 2000 is when they got the Navy "Twins" set. Now SDS needs to add the Twins 90's or 2000's Alternates to the game. SDS for some reason aren't keen on adding missing alternate throwbacks or even missing away throwback uniforms.

I'm not exactly in a rush to buy a new console, largely because of how poor of a job EA seems to do with Madden nowadays.  It's like they don't care if the games they release are any good, or even function properly, as long as the microtransactions keep basically printing money for them.

 

 

SDS is now that way with the show. Similar to Madden they won't add missing throwback away or throwback alternates or fix gameplay issues. If it's not MUT/FUT (EA) or DD (The Show) then they don't care.

If you're playing FIFA 23 and have the World Cup DLC you'll be amazed at just how lazy EA has become. Brazil wear Argentina kits in the World Cup Mode. EA has not only become lazy with Madden (not adding many white throwback away jerseys) but they've got worse with FIFA. If it's not FUT (or MUT in Madden) they don't care.

Any other clubs getting new alternate uniforms?

The Oakland A's 2000 Black Alternate was still in the MLB style guide thru 2007 even after it was discontinued in 2000. MLB Video Games had it listed as their official alternate instead of the dark green alternate.

Lakers are wearing Purple (Statement) on Friday Night Home games this season.

 

So Charlotte's City edition will be dark (based on lockervision against clubs wearing the Association).

 

Indiana's City edition will either be Yellow/Gold or Navy/Royal based on locker vision against clubs wearing the Association.

 

OKC still retaining the "City" court from last season since this season the city edition is dark gray honoring the 15th anniversary of being in Oklahoma City.

 

Minnesota becoming the Timber-Nuggets but their city edition is honoring Bob Dylan a Duluth, MN native.

 

Detroit's City edition is green. They're honoring Stroh's Beer? Michigan State?

Nets uniform schedule now up on their website.

 Saw that. They will have three white uniforms (Association/City/Classic) and two black uniforms (Icon/Statement). Seems they will continue wearing the Icon and Statement at home and only wear Association on the road. Also on their schedule/site I can't decipher which black strtip on their schedule is the Icon or Association.

Yeah, but that change was set in motion before the Rockets even won their first chip. I think the owner wanted to scrap the rebrand after the 2nd title but it was far too late. 

 

 

The 1990's is when the beautiful uniforms of the 80's got a 90's atrocity for most clubs.

 

1991-92 Philadelphia moves away from the classic 80's look for a cartoon 90's look. In 1994-95 they changed again to a more conservative look (The Allen Iverson rookie uniform). In 1997-98 the Sixers made Black the primary color and got radical with another set. Most fans (depending on age) love the Iverson jerseys but I guess I'm in the minority and didn't care much for them or their 07-09 remix. Thankfully in 2009-10 they went back to tradition and brought back red, white, and blue.

 

*side note the 1994-97 76ers uniforms are not in NBA 2k sadly.

 

1992-93 saw changes for the Phoenix Suns. I personally liked the 1992-2000 sets and also their previous 70's-1992 look. Then the suns went with a bland generic look for 2000-01. In 2013-14 they ditched the generic set and used a fauxback to the Barkley set. Then the NIKE takeover in 2017-18 saw Phoenix go backwards.

 

1992-93 Saw Atlanta abandon the Dominique Wilkins set for a more conservative look and remained until the end of the 1994-95 season which also included a Black alternate for that one season. 1995-99 Atlanta went with a radical 90's look then went bland from 1999-2006 and got worse with the 2006-2015 set. The 2015-2020 set was much improved and the 2020-current set is more traditional.

 

*side note the 1992-94 Hawks sets and their 1994-95 Black alternate are all missing in NBA 2k

 

1993-94 saw Denver abandon the beautiful Rocky Mountain Rainbow set for some rather bland ones used from 1993-2003. Most Nuggets fan prefer that set because of the 1994 playoffs. With the arrival of Carmelo Anthony in 2003-04 Denver went radical and made Carolina Blue their main color and was an improvement over the previous set. Denver made slight changes and went back to Navy under Nike. Current sets aren't any better than the 1993-2003 sets. They could do a rebrand with their City sets from 2019-2021.

 

1993-94 Milwaukee also switched from Kelly Green to Purple. The 1993-2005 sets were fair. They even brought back green in 1995 with infamous Green "Deer" uniform. Milwaukee went back to their original colors with their 2005-2015 set then went radical with their 2015-16 current set.

 

1994-95 Sacramento hopped on the purple haze movement and had several different looks to this day. They had bounced back and forth between purple as the "Icon" or black as the "Icon". I preferred their Red/White/Blue/Carolina look instead but to each their own.

 

1994-95 saw Cleveland jump on the 90's new wave of looks by going with Black and Columbia blue. For the 1998-99 campaign they took out the Columbia Blue and the uniforms were bland until the arrival of LeBron James with their 2003-10 look going back to original colors. The current Cleveland set for this coming season looks like G-League and practice jerseys.

 

1995-96 Saw Houston break away from their classic look for 90's pajamas with navy and pinstripes. In 2003-04 they went back to red but the 03-19 sets were pretty bland except for the Black alternate in 2016-17 which became the "Statement" in the new NIKE era. The 2019-20 current set was based off of their 2019 "Earned" uniform and was an improvement.

 

1995-96 saw Seattle rebrand from Green and Gold to Dark Green and take on a cartoon look. They did make the Finals but their 1995-01 look was bad but the 1999-2001 Red Alternate was slightly better. Seattle (along with Detroit) went with a fauxback of sorts to their classic 80's look. They remained until the move to Oklahoma City.

 

1996-97 saw Detroit break away from the Classic "Bad Boys" look to 1990's cartoon gimmick as Blue was replaced with Teal. They even had a red alternate from 1999-2001. They went back to traditional colors for the 2000-01 season. The had a dope red alternate in the mid 2000's but since the NIKE take over can't seem to get a proper "Statement" uniform.

 

1996-97 Minnesota took on a 1990's look and it was more popular than their inaugural 1989-1996 look. They finally made the playoffs after abandoning their classic look then rebranded in 2008-09 and then NIKE took over for the 2017-18 season and well.....

 

1996-97 saw Utah break away from the Jazz note and take on the mountains of Utah. Again depending on age, most prefer the 1996-2004 look over the classic 80's to mid 90's. Utah changed color schemes for the 2004-05 season and went back to tradition (sorta) when they brought back the Jazz note but Navy was the main color instead of purple. The new 2021-22 set is far worse than Cleveland's new set.

 

*side note the 1999-2004 Jazz Black alternate and 2006-10 Carolina Alternates are not in NBA 2k

 

1997-98 Saw the Bullets change to the bland Wizards. The 1997-2011 look was fair but didn't have the feel of the classic Bullets. Washing changed for the 2011-12 season buy going back to a fauxback Bullets look.

 

1997-98 saw the New Jersey Nets change color scheme to a bland set though they did make the Finals in 2002 and 2003 but mostly wore their gray uniforms. A red alternate replaced the gray and became the primary in 2007-08 and stayed until the move to Brooklyn. Now the Brooklyn uniforms..........................meh.

 

*side note the 1999-05 Nets Gray uniform is not in NBA 2k

 

1997-98 saw Golden State take on the 90's cartoon fade. They became popular due to their 2007 playoff performance but finally went back to their traditional Blue and Gold for the 2010-11 campaign and a dynasty was born.

 

1997-98 saw Indiana break away from their amazing 1990-97 look for their pinstripe set. They were ok and they made the Finals and some fans prefer that set over the classic previous set. The 2005-06 rebrand took place then the NIKE takeover happened in 2017-18 and Indiana still can't find an identity. They should base their Association and Icons on their Yellow Statement set.

 

1998-99 Orlando switched from the classic Shaq/Penny Hardaway look for some of the better late 90's 2000's sets. Then they went bland for the 2003-04 look but got slightly better with the 2008-09 rebrand. The current set is fair but their 1989-98 look is far better.

 

1992-93 Dallas switched from green to blue as the primary and then the 2001-02 rebrand came.

 

Seems like MLB is more interested in releasing Diamond Dynasty (City Connect) uniforms instead of new Home/Away/Alternates etc. Hopefully after the Fall Classic someone will leak new uniforms/logos for clubs.

I wonder if teams could utilize this in order to wear two throwbacks in the same season. (ex. using a home throwback as their "city" edition, and using a road throwback as the actual classic edition)

 

 

At least you can in NBA 2k. Whenever I play 2k I just use the classic 80's-90's as "Association", "Icon", "Statement", and "City" editions.

If using a Classic edition jersey in the place of a City edition is allowed, I wish more teams would take advantage of that option.

Apparently it is. Memphis during the 2019-20 season used the Vancouver 1995-2001 Road uniform as that season's "City" edition.

so the only ones we're really missing is Sacramento, Indy, Detroit and Charlotte 

Yes.

Shouldn't be too long before lockervision adds all the uniforms to the schedule on their site.

 

Missing City sets:

 

Sacramento

Indiana

Detroit

Charlotte

Orlando (leaked, appears to black/dark Navy honoring Disney again)

Minnesota (leaked, will be White honoring Bob Dylan)

Utah (pulling a 2019-20 Memphis and using Classic edition as the City)

Houston retaining the 75th Anniversary from last season.

On  MLB The Show they have wrong shade of Blue for the 1977 and 1992 Blue Jays. The Blue should be Royal Blue as the current set as in the game the throwbacks are too dark.

 

Also on a side note. I wish SDS would add the missing 1994-96 Blue Jays Blue Alternate Top.

NBA 2k23 uniform video is out now and so throwback uniforms were added. 2k does a much better job than The Show and Madden in terms of throwback uniforms. There's only a handful of missing unis in 2k that need to be added. Anyway some of the new Statements/Classic editions are already in from default. As more uniforms (Statement/City) are released they'll be patched in.

 

Missing Statement Uniforms:

 

Denver

Minnesota

Clippers

Lakers

Detroit (Already shown)

Charlotte

Brooklyn

Orlando

Phoenix (Already leaked)

Memphis

Portland

New York

Dallas

Houston

76ers Brotherly Loved I didn't mentioned since it was already "leaked". The others mentioned in a previous posts are again just speculation. Would be cool if Charlotte did a Jim Crockett Promotions inspired City edition similar to Memphis' 2018-19 set honoring Beale Street and Memphis Wrestling.

ESPN Baseball Tonight was released in 1994 for the SNES/Sega/Sega CD. The game is obviously based on the 1994 season but has Houston/Texas/Milwaukee in their 1993 Cap logo insignia during the team selection. The Sega CD (which was more polished) has Houston/Texas/Milwaukee in their proper 1994 Cap logo insignia during team selection.

Cavs court does look like 03-04 reboot.

 

So missing city editions not released yet:

 

Minnesota White (Bob Dylan inspired)

Sacramento Red (Webber era fauxback design)

Detroit Black (Bad Boys inspired)

Indiana Royal Blue (Market Square Arena Inspired)

Charlotte White (Jim Crockett Promotions Inspired)

Orlando Orange version of 75th Anniversary Remix

 

Anyone else getting new "Statements"

 I read where the Rockets are retaining the 75th Anniversary as the City edition again. Also are they keeping the same "Statement" as well?

The teal top was only a batting practice jersey, I think, which is likely why it’s not in The Show. The Show isn’t really big on including historical batting practice jerseys. 

 

And there were two versions of the teal jersey, with silver lettering in 1993 and black lettering in 1994 I think. 

That is true that it was only worn for Spring Training BP until 2002. Ironically enough several baseball games (All Star Baseball/MLB 2k5/MVP Baseball) had it listed as a throwback. Ironically enough MLB The Show 09-10 had the Teal Top as a throwback but names on the back were missing. There are several missing alternates/away uniforms in The Show that it's a joke but I digress.

No word on any new uniforms or wholesale changes. Would be amazing if the Marlins brought out their 1993-2002 Teal Top as it's the 30th Anniversary of the Club next season. (SDS refuses to add that uniform among others in MLB The Show).

Are they not considered the city jersey?

 

It's possible that "Classic" will just be the "City" edition this season. Memphis didn't have a "City" in 2019-20 and just used their 1995-1999 Away as their "City".

Tecmo released their NBA games (Tecmo NBA & Tecmo Super NBA) during the 1992-93 season but still used the 1991-92 rosters and logo for the Phoenix Suns (pre 1992-93 change). The SNES version came out in early 93 while the NES version was released in November-December. The SNES version also looked better obviously and the colors stood out more. Also worth noting was that the NES version has the Dallas Mavericks in Blue while the SNES (and later Sega) version as them in Green when they actually switched to Blue for away games during the 92-93 campaign. Also the Sega version was released in December 1993 and had the updated logos for the Suns/Bucks/Nuggets and had the 1993-94 rosters (minus rookies) for the 1993-94 season. Also even though the Genesis version had the new logos for the Suns/Bucks/Nuggets they still had the Bucks and Nuggets in Green and Royal Blue respectively instead of the accurate Purple (Bucks) and Navy (Nuggets).
