CrookedThumb Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Orlando Magic Facebook page says that the Solar Bears will wear these when they play at Amway Arena tomorrow night. The page is also doing a jersey giveaway, which I think ends pretty soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDCLT Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This looks great and I really hope that more teams will do this. I'd like to see the Big 4 do crossovers like this often, but that may be a pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 You won’t see it in the Big Four because those teams are competitors (except in the case of shared ownership, and even then to an extent). We like to think of all our teams as brothers in sport, united in the goal of representing our fair city. But in truth, they are bitter competitors who resent each other’s success and compete fiercely for fan dollars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Wish they’d replace the basketball logo with a puck, seems weird to see a basketball on a hockey jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The hockey team's marketers (and likely the basketball team's execs) are obviously aware that the 90s look is far more popular than any of the 21st century uniforms, but the Magic can't go back to the exact same look because of NBA rules.

Gothamite Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hockey teams do all manner of strange warmups, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The Magic and Solar Bears are owned by the same guy, so that makes it a whole lot easier to make that type of crossover happen for a real game. It'll never happen in any of the major leagues outside of warm ups, though, even if teams were owned by the same guy. The Ducks have also done the warm up crossover and the Blues a couple of times. The Cardinals returned the favour for battling practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Unpopular opinion I guess... These “crossovers” don’t work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because they're using practice jerseys. If they made a jersey set to look like the jerseys of the team honored they'd look a lot better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
