I know exactly why they did it, but it's still the "wrong uniform". It doesn't mean I don't think they should have done it. I think it was very cool, actually, and it reminds me of the zeitgeist in the immediate aftermath. It was very "wrong"; even just fifteen years later, I don't think many people remember it, and I don't think special during-game uniforms ever became a trend. It's the same as posting a team that played in the wrong stadium due to a disaster... It doesn't mean you disagree with the decision to move the game.

With that being said, I would not be surprised if they did use this color jersey color again for a color rush game. I would imagine it would be the same design as the white color rush ones with a gold dark much more bolder look closer to the helmet color. If I wasn't so lazy right now I'd do a photoshop chop to what it would look like. Speaking of New Orleans DC must of been relocating to New Orleans. They was just testing the colors out I guess. It is interesting that that they did have a Zyephers uniform on too. However, Chicago in green was always weird to me. The first one looks like they were trying to do the whole Christmas thing, but I guess it was a Green Initiative campaign they were doing. That jersey looks like the Bucks. The second one, I get the whole St. Patties day celebration so I can't knock them for it, but I remember looking at highlights one day and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me because I saw one of the players in green and was like "when did he go to Boston"??? (I think it was Noah.. maybe) Then I was like ohhh I see. MY LOGOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument it was the wrong uniform for them to win a title in, but since it's part of their history it becomes a right set. Unfortunately.

charger77 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 There seemed to be a lot of love for that Predators jersey and a lot of hate for the Panthers, however I was not a fan of that Preds lace-up and actually liked the Panthers double blue jersey.

Discogod Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 How about the New Jersey Nets' short-lived set from 1981-83? Larry Brown got rid of the ABA-style unis when he took over; after he was fired the team brought them back. And the home uni, vs another team in the wrong uni - the Knicks' maroon-and-navy "modern" unis that they wore from '79-83: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman14 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 When I opened this thread I was expecting (hoping) for examples of teams wearing uniforms that they didn't intend to wear or were not their actual uniforms. For example I remember a story about the Vikings planning to wear white at home against the Lions but the Lions didn't get the memo so both teams were in white but the Vikings switched to the purple tops and kept the purple pants. Thus the purple on purple was never their intent making it a "wrong" uniform. I also thought I heard once about an away football team that ended up having to wear the home team's practice jerseys for some reason. I could be misremembering that though.

IceCap Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 ^This is the furthest the Leafs have ever deviated from their classic look, and it's associated with the nadir of the franchise. There's nothing wrong with it aesthetically speaking, but it just doesn't work as a "Toronto Maple Leafs" uniform. ^These two looks really don't work because they're trying too hard. The Maple Leafs have a very simple identity. Blue and white, maple leaf logo with text, maybe an alternate mark. Standard block font. The first set tried to get cute, with the kabel font from the logos extended to the name plates and the numbers. The second version fixed the number font, but added unnecessary silver outlines. I got what they were going for with the TML logo, but it just ended up being awkward in execution. ^This uniform and all variations associated with it represent the bottoming out of the Toronto Blue Jays as a brand. In many ways I'm happy the team went through that phase though. The World Series era set was classic, but they likely would have tweaked it endlessly until they just destroyed it completely. By going with a rather large scale redesign in 1997 and then jumping the shark entirely in 2004 the team set themselves up to come back to a modified-for-the-better version of their classic World Champions look after wandering in the aesthetic wilderness. ^The Raptors have spent so much time in both purple and red and red and black that both schemes say "Raptors" to me. This though? I was fine with the Drake Night t-shirts (and still want one) but actually sacrificing team colours to pander to the man's brand was too much.

Everything else about the jersey is a faithful recreation of the original right down to the duplicate shoulder patches. Then they decide to bring those over from the Buffaslug set. Again, why?

Could explain why their gear didn't match. Or it's just more of the mismanagement that led to the Buffalsug in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Some 2003-04 Vintage Series shenanigans deserve mention: Note the hilariously incorrect black breezers/helmets on the Kings, and the navy breezers on the Blues. I suppose that this may just be a case of inaccurate throwbacks, but details as significant as breezers and helmets alter the overall uniform considerably.
