Can't answer on that, but counted something. In first nike season we've had 8 throwbacks, in second again 8, in third there are 13. Now in fourth there are leaks of 5 of them. 13-5=8 so It look like they decreased number of retro of this year to recompensate last year and have average of 8 retro/year. I know it sounds wierd, stupid and I don't believe in that by myself (because of $$$ that came from those jerseys) but I find it might be instresting even if has no sense.

And there were 13 throwbacks last year? Last year we saw: Charlotte Cleveland Golden State Houston Indiana LAC Memphis Portland Sacramento Toronto Utah That’s 11...which would bring you back to an average of 8.

General average it's 8,5 so depend how you're rounding it's gonna be 8 or 9 so you've got right too. 2 hours ago, Igor Coelho said: And we also have Lakers black, although being a City Ed. was named as Classic for the bubble games I've got problem how to count this jersey. It listed as a 'classic' but on the other hand Lakers didn't wear their regular 'City' in bubble so we could count is as a 'City' too since it was a 'City' uniform. Anyway I guess we all agree that all of us would prefer to not bringing back this jersey and have Kobe still with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think the Lakers' black jerseys were obviously not brought back as part of the usual NBA throwback problem so I'm not sure I would include them for the purposes of this particular conversation.

pepis21 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 IMO we should count Mamba jersey as a 'Special' but there is no name like this in NBA/nike terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d11king Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I can confirm that the Lakers will indeed be getting at least a court update next season as we add another star that encompasses the center court logo. the stars represent each year the Lakers have won the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanfan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Since this could possibly be the last game for the Lakers I've been wanting to say this for a while, has anyone noticed that the piping stripes on the black mamba shorts look a little off? Like they're expanding outwards rather than straight down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Coelho Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The Lakers are playing a lot of playoff games with the "Black Mamba" uniform. I won't be surprised if that jersey returns as 2021 City Ed. Would be a great combo with the Classic Ed. Two jerseys with high market potential. Another possibility that I thought was something inspired by the white version of the 60s uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but on the other hand Throwbacks don't have Championship tag on collar and have HWC NBA logo on neck instead of standard so it's a mess Anyway back to 20/21 season. I saw @Conrad. mockup of Mavs 'Classic' and I saw two of this uniforms made for 2k (one of them is mine) and all of us made shorts in a different way. This is Conrad mockup: This is Casey one based on i.a last year ASG or 76ers City: And here is mine based on Knicks (I already updated wordmark and numbers): I'm curious who of us will be right. I bet Conrad but I actually hope he's wrong (no offensive) because this will show that nike went the laziest way to make them without even trying to be a little more accurate.

PurpleRain Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've been seeing a lot of Nets fans crediting Kyrie and his New Jersey roots for the decision to bring on these NJ throwbacks. Doesn't the NBA approval process for throwback/alternate jerseys begin two years ahead of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worn in 1990-91, Kyrie born in 1992. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
