Krona Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ive been finding a ton of good photos of old unis in thrift store books lately. I came across this in a basketball book. Similar to the knicks using the yankee style NY. News to me. I'll post some more pics. This book is full of interesting findsSf Warriors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krona Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Heres a two for one. Ghastly lettering for the Sixers, and an uniquely placed horizontal mid-short stripe for the Sonics. And how about those socks? Does anyone agree that NBA unis could improve ten fold with some striped socks?Sonics v. Sixers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Wow. Those Sonic short stripes are, umm, interesting. Notice Philadelphia has Seventy written above Sixers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinirox1 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yes, he mentioned the Sixers lettering. But I agree, it's very ugly. The "SF" logo on the Warriors' shorts is very interesting, though. What's the name of the book you bought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
