I always consider the angels two ways - the Wally Joyner / Naked Gun era, and current, completely overlooking the... Jim Abbot (?) era, which while not as good as the current, is a classic look that could have lasted an eternity. It's Enrico Palazzo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 They may have reached the 1996 NBA Finals in this ensemble, but the 1995-2001 Seattle Supersonics (RIP- come back!) set here is an underappreciated modern classic of a uniform.

Just leave the red versions out of the conversation. Something about Seattle teams and elevating a trim color to the predominant jersey hue just doesn’t sit well.

I don't get the love for these - at all. They're about as generic and cartoonish as possible, and there's nothing appealing about the design. I appreciate good modern uniforms, but these deserve to be left in the dustbin of history. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

MilSox Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Not to mention the last uniforms the Sonics wore were a perfect update of their awesome 80s look. (Still chaps my a** that Ray Allen was traded because George Karl couldn't do his job in Milwaukee.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harry Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The Bruins franchise has more or less neglected a handful of classic jerseys to instead opt for fauxbacks in recent years. They brought out the black jersey Bobby Orr wore for a single season in 2006-07 and that’s about it. The Bruins consistently wore some version of a white jersey with yellow shoulders from 1939-1974. That look has been mothballed since. The next two jerseys were updates of the previous set but with no shoulder stripes. A classic, clean set worn by both Bobby and Ray Bourque which also lasted 20 years. Admittedly, what the Bruins wear today is barely a departure from their early 70s look but some of the touches from back then were nice. Mainly, I like the yellow B on the black jersey and the striping on the white jerseys. I would like them to wear one of these three jerseys to the 2019 winter classic. A team like them shouldn’t have to use fauxbacks when teams Chicago and Toronto have no issue wearing throwbacks that are only slightly different from their regular set.

IM not sure how these are any less generic than the classic ones. I’m not reallly sure either could be considered generic. Cartoonish? Ok. Generic? Nah.

Sport Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yeah from the unique color scheme to the 3D wordmark to one of the first 90's unis to do the asymmetrical thing I'm not seeing "generic" on those at all. I see a lot of 90's on those, but generic is the wrong word. Nobody else looked like those Sonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The inaugural Atlanta Flames jerseys had a simpler (and I think better) striping pattern than the one the carried over to Calgary. Not many people remember these, because they mostly think back to the Calgary jerseys, just with the A instead. And there will likely NEVER be a throwback to these, because of that "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

Discrim Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Corey Dillon era Bengals... unless they decide to return to this set wholesale, I doubt they ever throw back to this since the team was so awful. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Bears will likely never throw back to the 1940 uniforms. A shame, given it's use in one of football's greatest "F*** You" moments.

Those are basically the same, other than sock color and the tiger logo on the sleeve, as the 1980s Bengals that went to two Super Bowls: oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

SFGiants58 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I’d never want the Giants to ressurect it as a primary, but it’d make a good Orange Friday road alternate: MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The 1980s Atlanta Falcons set tends to get lost in the shuffle among good, classic sports uniforms; they're quite good, I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
