They're retire Stockton in the 1980's - mid 1990's style jersey. He played more season in that uniform and keep in mind that he was in his prime during those years as well.Hornacek's was a great player and one of the best franchise players to ever play for the Jazz. Tell me this.........why do the Timberwolves have Stacy Patton's jersey retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnesdesign Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 I agree, it should be a no-brainer. We'll see what happens.I guess there are plenty of questionable retired numbers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 When the Sixers retired Barkley's #34, they used the new logo, even though he never came close to wearing it. Wouldn't be surprised to see the jazz do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I'd assume Stockton (and Malone) have the purple and blue mountain versions for their numbers. Certainly not the current Mavericks ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJR Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Teams generally use their current look at the time of jersey retirement, no matter what era the player played in. I know I'm switching sports (and that it's only one example) but the LA Kings used the black and silver style when they retired Gretzky's number.

Puckguy14 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 My guess is that it will be the mountain uniform look. Reason being is that the conference championship years were in that time and Stockton hit that shot to win one of them for Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 In Miller Park, the Brewers have these huge displays for the retired numbers. They use the contemporary font, which really bothers me.None of them - not Hank Aaron, Rollie Fingers, Robin Yount or Paul Molitor (or heck, even Jackie Robinson for that matter) played in the softball uniforms the Crew wears now. The retired number tributes should reflect the era in which they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffles Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 So...they went with the old old look:Personally, I wish they had retired his number on a pair of short shorts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 maybe on the fanny of the short shorts just for that extra pizzaz?Is it me, or does the uniform in that banner look a lot like RC's basketball template?They made the right choice.

CC97 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Adding to the wrong fonts for players retired...The Jays have been odd with this.When they started "retiring" numbers with George Bell and Dave Stieb they used the 77-96 font.A couple years later all of the banners were gone and replaced with the new 97-03 font.Continuing along the odd trek, Jackie Robinson is even retired in the 97-03 Jays font...And when they "retired" Tom Cheek's "number" in September 2004, they used..... the 97-03 font.

CDunn Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 The Braves do it right for all the players. Just the number that they wore during their era. Simple enough. It looks good as numbers&white circle along one of the upper areas and as sublimated graphics along the outfield wall. They just don't have Jackie on the wall, which makes sense. According to the size of the wall graphics, they've got one blank space left in dead center. My guess the next retired number will be of my man John Smoltz, so he'll go in that spot or there will be a competely new arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
