mcj882000 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The Islanders paid homage to the Fisherman uniforms with a warmup jersey in 2015... ...And starting this past November they've actually begun selling replicas at their team stores. Personally I think they should bring it back for a game, but just as an annual April Fools' Day one-off, à la the Devils' St. Patrick's Day throwbacks. I think a team wearing their all-time worst uniform (and one of the worst period) as a joke on that day would be kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about 5-10 years, I'm sure you'll start to see more 90s throwbacks. It hasn't been that long since the 90s, so just give it some time and then teams will start rolling them out. '80s nostalgia has been in for like 20 years at this point. I swear, Gen Xers are the new Boomers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this seems like a good throwback candidate to be seen eventually. If they do, I hope they use the correct wide shoulder width and jersey material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 1 - narrower shoulders, wordmark outlined in red. Version 3 - Neck trim changed, shoulder trim removed, piping.

Something is goofy with your pics. Here's other images (from NBA Jersey Database): NOTE - they got the shoulders wrong on the V2 - they should be much wider.

Though I did see teal Grant Hill throwbacks on sale in Tampa. If they're selling them in Tampa they're probably selling them in Detroit. The Pistons' teal look falls into the category of 90s unis that didn't really leave that much of an impact. Remember, not every 80s, 70s, 60s, etc... uniform gets featured as a throwback. Only the ones that represented noteworthy teams or were otherwise memorable looks. The Raptors made a statement with their 90s look that stuck with people. It didn't age well, and the team was right to drop it. Still, it's remembered fondly. Compare that with the Pistons' teal, which was a huge departure from the traditional look. And represented some awful basketball between two championship eras where the team wore their traditional colours. In that context? It's not hard to see why one look has nostalgic value and gets an on-court throwback while the other doesn't. Adidas before the switch and now mitchell and ness did a big run of hardwood classics with the 90s designs, including the real horse hill jersey. The foot action and other urban footwear/ clothes shops out here in sac still carry them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Dodgers have never worn their short-lived 1999 alternates since. Although their blue spring training jerseys are kind of similar, I guess. Frankly the '99 alternates weren't terrible with a few small tweaks. The Kings have never brought back their Burger King jerseys as far as I know, not even as a one-off joke. (I don't follow hockey as closely as baseball so if I'm wrong please correct me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans HATED those jerseys. They were supposed to be for Think Blue Week, but they’re best remembered for Chan Ho Park’s kick. Ironically, the matching cap continued to be listed as an alternate cap, even though they wore it on the field for less than a year. As for the Burger King jerseys, the Ontario Reign did don them in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It looks bad digitized but in reality I kind of have a fondness for it: Granted, might have been better with a white-brimmed cap instead of the silver one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the second most popular set behind the current look and just in front of the later Irish Rainbow. It helps that the last period of relevance for the Bucks prior to the current one was the purple/green/silver/black squad led by Ray Allen. It's a shame that there really haven't been any '80s triple green irish rainbow retro jerseys available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove all the Silver, wear the normal cap, and use White Piping. Original from the Mothership: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I've noticed that the Carolina Panthers seem to have completely memoryholed their original logo and Hulkamania wordmark, at least in terms of merchandising. Until recently, they didn't have a page on the Mitchell & Ness online store, and the "retro" section of their Fanatics store just features their current identity stylized onto vintagesque t-shirt designs.
