2002-03: First year of those Kings jerseys/last year of the Star 'A' Magic on jerseys

 

 

[

T-Mac doesn't look too happy, but I'm not too sure I'd be pleased as punch having to carry those Magic teams with Grant Hill injured either. 

I imagine they'll have your standard white and grey jerseys, than an alt that's green for four months out of the season, changes to a nice perfect yellow for like two days, than bam, brown for the rest of the year. 

I like the Diamondbacks rebrand, or rather, the idea of it. I've been in the camp of people who think there could stand to be one or two modern looking teams in baseball, and who else but a team that's younger then most of the prospects in your average team's pipeline? 

Another team I'd love to see go modern would be the Rockies. They're still fairly new, have a color scheme that isn't all that classic, and frankly, need the shakeup.

It must be very close to introduce that, because on old nba store site (from 1996) I found this:

Maybe it's just the stripes on the jerseys looking a bit like waves to me, but I'd love this if it was a "hey we're moving into the Staples Center so let's look like we kinda care" rebrand for the Clippers in 1999, typeface and all. Just a real nautical theme to me. 

There we go. I know it's a throwback, but man it's weird to see a player wear another living player's jersey, especially from another team. Not wrong or anything (players are fans like us), just odd. 

Also, could the equipment guys not fit "Abdul-Jabbar" on the back in the day? I know the Rockets at one point had Rudy Tomjanovich have "Rudy T."  on the back of his jersey around the same time Kareem wore that jersey. I wonder how that worked.

I was at that game! Unis looked spectacular on the court!

The same year they wore those, AI sat out of a game wearing a Kareem edition of those same jerseys (this was pre dress code. Also, it might've been against the Bucks themselves). The Post had a picture of Iverson in said Bucks jersey on the bench, and I was able to use that to convince my fellow hoop loving classmates that Iverson was traded to Brew City.

In fact, I believe this is it (or another picture from that game): Allen Iverson: Milwaukee Buck;

So the team's name is Smokies, the mascot is a bear, yet said bear is not wearing a park ranger's hat and lecturing me about forest fires. Huh.

I'm hoping they become an orange team. Other then Texas, not too many teams use burnt orange as their primary color, if they even have burnt orange, so it'd be pretty cool. I'm also pulling for the Sounds to have numbers just like the Preds. I love the strings in the numbers for them.

I've never thought of Midnight Green as pretty. I always thought it was more a grimier, grungier color (I also root for an NFC East team not named the Eagles, so maybe my choice of words is a little harsh.). For that reason, I've never seen why they needed to add black to it. Kelly Green and Black? I see it. Midnight and Kelly Green? Could be interesting. Midnight Green and Black? Too close to really work well together, IMO.

Someone, anyone, needs to use Bronze. I've been thinking the Rockies or Raptors recently for some reason.

i actually like the rockets pinstriped uniforms

I've started to change my mind on them actually. I was never a big opponent of those jerseys, but my opinion of them's grown considerably, almost to where I catch myself looking at the Hakeem and Yao ones Adidas released as Hardwood Classics online often.

I was reading an article on how the Reno Aces had to travel to Nashville then to Salt Lake City. The distances involved were rather much for a junior circuit, IMO, so I'm bringing back the American Association. If a team isn't in the new AA, they're in the same league as they are now.

American Association III

Western Division

Iowa Cubs

Omaha Storm Chasers

New Orleans Zephyrs

Round Rock Express

Oklahoma Redhawks

Eastern Division

Nashville Sounds

Louisville Bats

Memphis Redbirds

Buffalo Bisons

Indianapolis Indians

The Triple-A All Star Game goes back to AL farm clubs vs. NL farm clubs. As for the playoffs, I like the AAA Championship Game, so we'll have a Championship Weekend. The AAA champion with the best record (We'll say the IL's Lehigh Valley in this scenario) gets a bye, and the other two teams (the AA's Louisville and PCL's Las Vegas) have a play-in game on Friday. Winner of the play-in game gets the Ironpigs on Sunday.

Playing by the Nile/the ladies loved their style...

I thought I heard somewhere that the Heat purposely made their numbers to look like the Lakers,and that the Magic adopted the pinstripes from the Yankees and the parquet floor from the Celtics. It's only fitting that a few years later the Heat would bring aboard the head of those Lakers teams they (supposedly) wanted to look like.

I like these, and the idea behind them:

I don't see why everyone wants to ditch the red for another shade of green or two (green and red go well together, are unique, and the team has a history with them), and the idea of taking an old template and changing the colors up is a good move in my book.

Florida Marlins vs. Montreal Expos, 2004

Considering where that pic was taken, that IS a rare matchup. That pic was taken at US Cellular Field in Chicago. Marks one of only two times the Marlins have played a home game outside of Miami.

Why?

A hurricane was hitting South Florida. I think they chose Chicago because it was open, a neutral AL park, and IIRC, the Marlins had just played a series in Milwaukee, so they could get there easily.

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...

I always thought it was the Hornets, with the Nets in navy in second.

One of the 90's sweetest shots and controversial figures, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in black and Pacific Teal:

Ok, this takes the cake as ugliest Minor League jersey shtick in any sport. And I don't see it getting beat any time soon.

It's so weird how they just plastered all those photos onto Roger Clemente's template.

The "Ironpigs" in the bacon reminds of one of the psychedelic concert posters that Cream or Janis Joplin would have. A little trippy, but I love it all the same.

Think about that matchup last season, this season, and next season.

2013: Hornets-Bobcats

2014: Pelicans-Bobcats

2015: Pelicans-Hornets

Strange how that works, huh?

To celebrate their 30th (and I believe last) season at Pfitzner Stadium, the Potomac Nationals will be wearing throwbacks of their previous campaigns as the Prince William Pirates, Prince William Yankees, Prince William Cannons, and Potomac Cannons. Not gonna lie, it'll be fun to see plum and this guy back for a night or two.

Oooh yeah. That's awesome. Thanks!

It was only used for a year, and other then the mothership, the only other place I've seen it was a Walt Bellamy rookie card, so it'd be really nice if you could do this Chicago Packers logo please:

I don't like when teams use both royal and navy blue, like the St. Louis Blues, the Pistons, and the '00s Cubs.

Can we get a sleeved basketball template in raster please? If not, I've been thinking if soccer shirt + basketball shorts would do the trick instead.
