Gothamite Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There's a huge gulf between "one of the top five most important NBA players in the immediate post-MJ era" and "one of the most culturally-important athletes of all time". And Iverson falls right into it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well they went with Franklin... Franklin the Dog, not Ben Franklin. The mascot "for kids, designed by kids". Yuck. Still better than a moose though!wWell Franklin does have some flaws his face he doesn't seem to look like a dog he looks like a donkey rather than a dog.

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The 78 uniforms I hope is what it most resembles^ why I don't think the 76ers should go in that direction, especially since the Nets are bringing back those side stripes for their alt.But it will help ease the transition to Newark. Since the Nets abandoned the color scheme and the Sixers presumably would have stars and stripes on both sides, I think they could pull it off.Didn't the originals exist at the same time?

Xist2inspire Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'll never understand why the Sixers didn't drop the black immediately upon introducing this jersey. I really liked the Iverson-era look, but I do think that moving away from their traditional colors was a mistake. I thought that this jersey was the best of both worlds and a step on the right path, and I was disappointed that they never really followed up on this. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the blue version is definitely superior to the bland blacks. Just like that logo is superior to the "retro" one they use now.
