projectjohn Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 15 hours ago, pelicanfan said: i think the biggest crime the pistons have done was insisting on wearing grey for nearly the past decade as their third color it started in 2015 with adidas. these were considered as their alternates for 2 years but then nike introduced statement jerseys and made these as part of their set indefinitely: and the team stuck with them for a long 4-5 years. on top of the 2 that adidas had with theirs. i genuinely think this was the worst jersey in the league out of any main uniform set. Red and blue can work with gray - we see that in the NFL with the Giants for example, but for some reason this jersey just never looked right to me. I think it might have been better with white outlines around the lettering and numbers and no thick shoulder striping to match the Icon and Association Edition look. At any rate, I'm glad they finally ditched it but the refusal to have red remains puzzling. I can't imagine they have focus grouping or other data that says black, gray, and navy is what their dwindling fan base wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Raptors have unveiled their 30th anniversary logos. Their announcement also mentioned plans for a new City jersey, which I'm assuming will incorporate purple & the dinosaur. 14 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don't know how much weight you can put on that being the definitive list of possible throwbacks. We're talking about the Nike's NBA here. They would celebrate any anniversary from a team's creation to a failed trade. 1 1 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

I hope they just forgot to mention Classic edition in a press release. It would be a huge shame if they didn't bring back a retro from 2000 Slam Dunk Contest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen larger hands in my life. Freakishly large. It was at that moment I realized that pro players were not like the rest of us, and I had better learn how to do something normal. 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Maybe you could still do something mildly weird, if not abnormal. Not sure what, but something's out there.

Why use Vince Carter's jersey when Chris Bosh also wore the purple jersey and had the same number as Scottie Barnes? A little cohension please, Raptors 3 Quote College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
