FinsUp1214 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's very interesting, really cool map! If I understand right, this is based solely on Mitchell and Ness sales right? Because I feel like I see way more Stockton jerseys here in Utah than Malone (both 80's and 90's sets), but I think that's because tons of local sports stores here (like Fanzz) sell lots of Stocktons. If it's just Mitchell and Ness sales only, then that would probably explain the difference. That's not to say there isn't many Malones - there's certainly quite a few - there's just a whole lot of Stocktons.Any Steve Young 49er jersey is a pretty big one here too. Lots of 49er fans, and aside from that, Young of course is a local hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 There are a lot of interesting ones:-I'm a bit surprised that Kobe is so huge. I know the Lakers are huge and whatnot, but I figured for them that it would be someone like Magic Johnson or Abdul-Jabbar.-What's with New England and Vince Carter Raptors jerseys?-Ryne Sandberg in Alabama, Larry Bird in Mississippi, and Roger Staubach in Montana are all odd ones, for the same reasons as Vince Carter in Connecticut and New Hampshire.-I'm honestly shocked that it's not a Packers jersey in Wisconsin.But overall, this is really cool to look at.

guest23 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well does't M&N still sell on a limited release basis? If they only had limited releases available for sale this would explain some of the non regional sales. For instance the kobe is the classic Lakers 80's-90's style so this would make sense from a fashion/collectability standpoint if it's the 1st Lakers throwback to be released in some time. It's not like they have a wide offering of Lakers throwbacks in perpetual inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It doesn't say, but I'm presuming these are sales through their website. Most Packers fans buy their jerseys, including Mitchell & Ness, through the Packers' own shop. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

tajmccall Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah this is also skewed by the amount of "national" teams throwbacks Mitchell and Ness makes. They make about four throwbacks for the entire Minnesota sports scene. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smzimbabwe Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Apparently I own the most popular one for Washington, but does it count as "throwback" if I got it for Christmas in 1986? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorback447 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I don't get the one for Arkansas at all. Who is that supposed to be? I've spent the majority of my life in Arkansas and I don't know a single White Sox fan. Someone from the Dallas Cowboys or St. Louis Cardinals would be more realistic.

FiddySicks Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This map is great. It's about what I expected, except for Wisconsin. The fact that a lame Kobe Bryant throwback jersey is more popular than some of the Packers legends jerseys surprises me to the point where I almost don't believe it. Considering that I grew up in the state, Nevada is a bit strange to me as well. I would expect a Niners or Giants or even Dodgers jersey to top that list, but of course all the suckers down south in Vegas would have to ruin that by skewing things in the Lakers favor On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

STL_ArchMadness Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 To be honest I just thought the whole map would be a Vince Carter / T-Mac throwback Raptors jersey http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr, is that you? "Stop eating our young! And it's pronounced guak-uh-moh-lee."And how have the Lakers' uniforms even changed enough in Kobe's career for any primary he's ever worn to be considered a "throwback"---how do they define that term?

OnWis97 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I was, like others, first struck by Kobe's domination, but then again, it's the only important franchise in the league and Kobe is still, despite limping to the end of his career, the most beloved player post-Jordan.Speaking of Jordan, I was next struck by his lack of presence on the map (but I don't follow the M&S scene so maybe they don't even make a Jordan throwback?) Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Gold Pinstripes Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The fact that anything Pittsburgh fails to appear on that map makes me smile.I'm not really that surprised, Philadelphia is a much larger market, and Pittsburgh lost population during part of the 70s and 80s because of difficult economic times. Countless fans were forced to leave the area, but they kept their loyalties. If the map had listed the top ten throwbacks for each state, I think you'd see a strong representation of Pittsburgh throwback jerseys in across many states.
