BBTV Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 The early 80s Sixers were notorious for number font inconsistencies.I have a team photo from the '83 champions, and every number 2 is a different style, many number 1s are different (some have a diagonal top, some are rounded), the 7, 4s, and even some 5s are different.At least nobody had two different 1s, 2s, 4s, 5s, or 7s on the same jersey!Oh - and I think the color difference is more a result of the fabric. The Barkly era jerseys had that wide-mesh fabric, which likely made the color appear lighter and brighter than the early 80s material, which (I am guessing, I don't know for sure) was more "solid", and got darker as players sweat.

harperdc Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 NBA TV's classics are glorious. I watched a Lakers-Pistons finals game from the late '80s ('88?) and it was brilliant. and, yeah, the unis are cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harperdc Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 ...and now a game from the Knicks' ill-fated '94 season against the Jordan-less Bulls on Christmas day. That flat top on Ewing is majestic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Knit didn't mass-market uniforms (a travesty, if you ask me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His letters were more spread out and in a different font without seriffs unlike the rest of the Sixers. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
