kimball Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 This is more of an expansion of a post I made in the Hurricanes' Whaler throwbacks thread. But, the idea is simple and am interested in tracking down pictures from the games they were played -- but, what teams have thrown back to a prior city in their franchise history? I am mainly sticking to US big four sports because that's what I know. Here is the list I made quickly from my memory. MLB Los Angeles Dodgers > Brooklyn Oakland A's > Kansas City & Philadelphia Atlanta Braves > Milwaukee & Boston Texas Rangers > Washington Minnesota Twins > Washington Baltimore Orioles > St. Louis NFL Kansas City Chiefs > Dallas Tennessee Titans > Houston Indianapolis Colts > Baltimore Arizona Cardinals > Chicago NBA LA Clippers > Buffalo LA Lakers > Minneapolis Washington > Chicago/Baltimore Philadelphia > Syracuse Detroit > Ft. Wayne Brooklyn > New Jersey/New York (kind of a stretch) Sacramento > Rochester/Cincinnati NHL Carolina > Hartford Are there any others? This seems like a fun topic for a new thread ...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The New Jersey Nets wore New York Nets home throwbacks on several occasions, including in the 2003 Finals. And they wore road throwbacks a few times in their last season in New Jersey. (Though the home New York Nets throwback was a style that the team also wore after it moved to New Jersey.)

MilSox Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm having trouble finding pictures, but in 2004(-ish?) the Brewers wore Milwaukee Braves throwbacks... against the Braves. I'm fine without the photo evidence because I hated it. More recently, they've thrown back to the American Association uniforms, when the Brewers were the Braves top affiliate and patterned their uniforms after their parent club. I like this much better.

Discrim Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Not to be forgotten, the Brewers have worn Seattle Pilots throwbacks a few times (though not recently) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Side Note: the Mariners should honor the storied PCL Seattle Rainiers far more than the failed Seattle Pilots and their pre-1993 identity. Leave royal/yellow in the rancid dumpster of history/for the Brewers). I'm still holding out hope that we get a Pilots vs. Pilots match next year to commemorate the team's 50th anniversary. If it's at Safeco Field, Mariners in the home uniforms and the Brewers in the road set. If it's at Miller Park, do the inverse. Better yet, they can each wear different styles of caps! 1William F.

MilSox Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Why do I not remember the Brewers playing Braves dress up in 1998 or the Pilots throwbacks? Granted, I think a lot of us for flushed the last few years of County Stadium out of our minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Well, that and we didn't have the wall-to-wall coverage we see today. There are very few photos of the pre-2000s throwbacks.

kimball Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 For being a one year franchise the Pilots sure had a lot of uniforms -- prototype, spring training, regular season, etc. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

ColeJ Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Stars have worn North Stars jerseys on the ice in some capacity on two occasions, though never in game-action. Modano's last trip to Minnesota as a Dallas Star, he wore a North Stars sweater for a skate around the ice. The whole Stars team also wore a smattering of different uniforms from franchise history during warm-ups of Modano's jersey retirement game. Not sure if either of these instances count for anything.
