  1. Fans would get the worst seats in the house just to see Minnesota's then-new NBA team at the Metrdome. Apparently the Wolves returned to the Dome during the Garnett Era for a preseason game on October 26, 1996. They may have had more games.
  2. As much as I like how Jazz is a suitable name for New Orleans, I wouldn't want it to end up that way again. As someone who got into the NBA during the Jazz/Bulls rivalry in the late 90's, I'm just too familiar with the team being in Utah. The name doesn't make sense but it just feels right. Here's some photos of the Jazz playing on their classic Delta Center court in the 96-97 season. From what I recall, a hockey rink messed up the then-new court so they had to go back to the old one for a few games. Also, these pictures make me realize how the color sucked on that court as it's basically maroon.
  3. That 3D Jazz sign on the Salt Palace is pretty amazing. It reminds me of WWE's gigantic Wrestlemania signs.
  4. Since we're on the subject of the Raptors at Maple Leaf Gardens...
  5. To add onto the 60's Lakers and Celtics stuff from earlier in the thread, how about some actual video?
  6. It seems like other sports leagues picked up on the idea of throwbacks once the Chicago White Sox did it for the first time ever in 1990. So if we're mapping this out, the MLB started throwbacks in 1990, NBA in 1992, and the NFL in 1994. I'm not totally sure about the NHL but I know it happened in the 90's. Also in that Sonics pic, the Champion logo is on the shorts. There was talk in this thread about how it never appeared on uniforms, but there it is!
  7. It's awesome to see a high quality picture of the Lakers playing at the LA Sports Arena. This picture could be from one of their many Finals encounters. To add to the fun, check out the Boston Garden scoreboard!
  8. I've been playing the NFL Blitz since the first one came out in 1998 and I never knew about this, then again I never got to play NFL Blitz '99 much because it was only released in Arcades and I only came across the machine maybe once or twice.
  9. It's like their old field design before the redesign.
  10. Jerry Rice in a Seahawks uniform was pretty bad but how about this?
  11. Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook on the Seattle Supersonics.
  12. It was an alright look until they added silver numbers and green sidepanels.
  13. I see Gary Payton on the Celtics but I give you this one. Also Kobe being drafted by the Charlotte Hornets and having a Pre-Draft workout with the Boston Celtics.
  14. I figured I would post this because any good quality photos from the 1994 season is a rarity itself. Here we have the Raiders and Broncos in throwbacks. This whole scenario is weird for a variety of reasons.
  15. Go back a page He's using the old Sixers logo.
  16. You're using the 2006 Vikings helmet logo. Should be like this:
  17. I remember seeing that game on TV. I remember that jersey was in NBA Live 2004, which came out before the season started. The jersey was just a grey color and not glossy at all, so when the Mavs came out onto the court wearing that I was really surprised because they took a decent idea and ruined it.
  18. I completely forgot there was a time when NBA jerseys had shiny material. I liked it on some jerseys.
  19. 1970-71 Redskins (Proper R font) 1950-1955 Giants 1963 Raiders
  20. On the subject of Videogame graphics, Madden '96 on the Playstation had the NFL on Fox graphics in use at the time. The game was never released because it was an inferior product for the Playstation. Had it been released, it would have been the first sports video game to utilize broadcast presentation until NBA Live '97 with it's TNT and TBS graphics. I believe it used the exact team logos Fox did for it's presentation, too. NCAA Basketball 10 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 had CBS and ESPN. Unfortunately, that was the only good part about the game. The last few NCAA Football games and the current (yet awful) NBA Live 14 are using ESPN presentation aswell. Don't forget about the 2K games in 2004 and 2005.
  21. These were the best Fox graphics ever and was also used for the NFL aswell. Current Fox graphics are good too, but these were just so good. On this subject, does anybody remember the New Years Eve game between the 49ers/Broncos in 2006? The bad snow storms in Denver caused the Fox trucks not to get their, so they used stuff from Fox Sports Rocky Mountain, and thus for probably the only time ever, you saw Fox Sports Net graphics during an NFL game. Watching that game was weird because the picture quality clearly wasn't on the normal level of the typical Fox Broadcast, I didn't have an HDTV at the time but even then you could just tell how off it looked. Also, the grass looked awful.
