Last time I checked, "awesome" wasn't spelled "d-a-t-e-d".

So do I.

That's downright jarring.

The first silver/black look was so '90s (even though it started in the late '80s) but still so good. MUCH better than what they wear now. I kind of feel like I would've liked to see a purple/black set with purple as the primary, but they never did that. I feel like hockey is probably the best sport for that color scheme.

Can't really get a good view but that's still a bit jarring to think that they coincided.

Not really. The royal/yellow came first, in the '40s and '50s. It wasn't the design we grew up with but it was the same colors.

Those are pretty legit. I love the big shoulder logo on the top one.

Wow, that amazes me. I went there in '96 but don't remember anything about the field itself. I figured every field had something going on design-wise by this point in time.

Perhaps he didn't catch it (he appears to be surrounded by Vikings) but this looks like a preseason game to me. I don't think either team had blank end zones as late as the '90s.

Who's the Charger?

Incidentally, does any team currently wear pinstripes on their primary road uniform? I can't think of one...used to be Reds, Angels, Rockies, Twins, Diamondbacks, and Pirates all wore road pinstripes, back in the '90s (maybe not all at once, because I think Pittsburgh's was pretty short-lived). Also, does this count as an unpopular opinion? : The Pirates' road stripes with the grey hat were really cool, even though they never had home pinstripes in that time.

Yup. An iconic picture from what turned out to actually be a pretty boring game.

For what it's worth, it looks like he's grabbing at Elway's facemask too.

Yeah, I was thinking it was a midseason trade. So probably a warmup/BP jersey.

I'm guessing that's a warmup jersey? I didn't think the Marlins ever actually wore teal uniforms in-game. Or was this spring training?

I JUST NOW realized that was Spud Webb he was dunking over. I tend to think of Webb as a King.

Just read a pretty cool article about the sunbursts yesterday. Wish they still wore good uniforms - they don't have to be like the sunburst ones, just better than what they wear now.

I've always liked the Nuggets' skyline too. It came from the same wacky '80s experimentation that brought us the Bucks' Irish Rainbow and the Hawks' Pac-Man. Odd that '80s changes were so wacky for the NBA but not so much for other leagues...or did the "Rainbow Guts" debut in the '80s?

Agreed. I LOVED that logo and always wished they would find some way to incorporate those "fiesta" colors into their uniforms.

That's pretty much the only thing I remember his NBA career for...

Wow, that's amazing. Wonder if he had to tell anybody from that horrific team that there was "no crying in baseball"?

That's a sharp uniform, though.

Oh, right! I forgot that Shaq even played for the Heat for some reason. It seems so long ago.

2006?

Agreed, on most counts. Some of these younger guys may make a bigger mark in their new homes than they did in their old, but Wade is not one of them. He's injury-prone and just generally feels like he's slowing down. I don't think he'll be quite like Willie Mays on the Mets, though - he'll be better than that, but he's still on the downside of his career.
