I wonder if it's only a three-teams-a-year kind of thing and these are the three for 2021-22? I think what @jb1322is alluding to, is that Classic Edition was supposedly not happening in lieu of the City/Mashup(?) Edition because of the 75th anniversary. Who knows? Maybe it's just for the teams just celebrating their 75th anniversaries? 6 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Krona Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 1 hour ago, gosioux76 said: Yeah, I think it's interesting to see Nike rollout the classic Nike/swoosh wordmark for throwback sets. I know Nike uses it pretty liberally on its retro/reissue footwear and lifestyle apparel, but I haven't seen it so much on team-branded performance products. They use it on US soccer on field uniforms, which I always found odd, but I like it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these all of the projected Classics, or only 3 that were made public? Would make sense to see a Toronto Huskies one if the Classic "theme" for next year is early franchise throwbacks. 4 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

In 19/20, I think 7 teams had Classics. 2 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 No idea if it's real or not, but it seems like these are those jerseys leaked earlier: The three original franchises left (Celtics, Knicks, and Warriors) all got these uniforms based on classic designs. Celtics is based on their original set: Knicks seem to be using their 1946-1953 home set: And of course, the Warriors are using a modified '61/62 road set, with "Warriors" in place of "Phila". 12 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Love seeing the return of dazzle fabric on those throwback jerseys. Also, the faux belt loops are a great touch. They really knocked it out of the park on all 3 of them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimball Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So here are the tweets directly from the Knicks and Celtics announcing those jerseys. It looks like it's just the Celtics, Knicks and Warriors doing the "Classic" since they started in 1947. 3 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Maybe red keys too instead of the whole no paint thing which is best left to the mid 2000s, kind of an inverse of the (sadly) now old court. Let’s not talk about the 313 court.. It feels like everything the Pistons do with their branding is catering to the 15 year old crowd on Instagram, chasing fire emojis. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The word marks on the Knicks and Celtics are so bizarrely small? Kinda ruins it for me, too bad as I really have loved the use of both of those wordmarks if done right. Though this is the throwback I hoped for the Celtics in the Adidas sleeved jersey era, so, that’s nice. 2 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Makes sense that the Celtics, Knicks and Warriors get throwbacks for the 75th Anniversary. They did it for the 50th Anniversary too in 1996-97. I find it pretty funny that the Celtics are throwing back to when they wore sleeves in 1946 but the sleeved uniforms no longer exist. If there was ONE time and I mean only ONE TIME for that dumb idea to return then this would have been it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The font mismatch and the number ring are meh, but the striping on the sides and trim is excellent. Even the font issue isn’t as bad as it could be (the Nash set using City Bold).
