Shroinke Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Even though I love the Bulls, I have to say their new throwbacks this season are the worst I've seen of the trend.What do you guys think is the worst "Hardwood Classic" uniform?

BJ Sands Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't know what the worst one is, but I do know that it's not the Bulls fault if theirs are ugly. Their throwbacks are by far the oldest models used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I happen to like those Chicago Stags throwbacks. And if they really wanted to make them look authentic the uniforms would be skin tight with short-shorts. That look is classic '40s-'50s basketball. For a team to have a different colored jersey and shorts was a common practice in the old days. The Philadelphia 76ers wore red jerseys and royal shorts early in their tenure in Philly ('63-'64).I wish some of you younger people could appreciate those uniforms for what they are and stop your whining. These old threads are classic when compared to some of the new garbage styles and cuts teams are wearing. Most teams today look like rec league rejects.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Wait, those Stags uniforms don't look like rec league rejects? I'm pretty sure that's all they look like. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemFins Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 looks like something a sweaty fat guy would wear when he heads out to the park hoping to actually join a game. just add goggles and high socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAtnip Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have always been under the opinion that throwbacks shoud be as BACK as possible. Not only are these not terrible but if you are willing to stand back and squint, they look very much authentic and serve the concept of "throwback" very well. I don't think throwbacks should be trendy I think they should be throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpnation Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I think they wouldn't look as bad if the players didn't wear everything so baggy now-a-days, since the numbers get mushed on the jersey. And the dazzle material doesn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowahoo Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I liked the shimmer factor and also the fact the shorts and shirts were different colors. In this time of conformity and Nike designs I thought they were a breathe of fresh (old) air. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Exactly my point, gentlemen. Throwback uniforms in any sport should be as close to the original style and fit as possible. I've been involved with basketball uniforms for over 40 years. When I was in high school in the early '60s the jerseys were made of a nylon/durene knit with tackle twill lettering and numbers. And jerseys were worn very tight and with no tee-shirts or cut-off "wife-beater" undershirts showing. That was a no-no. Some teams wore tee-shirt-style uniforms but the sleeves were part of the actual jersey. Almost ALL basketball shorts were made of a material called "government satin." It was a tightly-woven material with a satiny shine to it. The material had no stretch whatsoever.I was the equipment manager and the bigger guys on the team always went for the smallest-size shorts they could get on. Take a look at old pictures of basketball uniforms.If today's throwbacks could be worn a little more form-fitting and with the shorts actually being shorts, not pants a Venice boatman would wear, you'd have a better look.I can't stand the Knicks, but their throwbacks with the zebra-striped piping are classic, but then I'm partial to Orange & Blue. My high school's road uniforms used to be Orange jerseys with Royal shorts. Everyone in our region knew who we were just by our uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
