Players in the "wrong" uniforms

It's interesting that you think that. I actually remember VC vividly as a Raptor. I'm not saying that's the first team that I think of when I think of him (that would probably be the Nets), but I don't consider it anywhere near a "wrong" uniform for him. Remember, he played nearly half his career up there.

I would consider his current Mavs uni to be a "wrong" uni. I regularly forget that he is a Mav.

It might just be that him in the red Raptors jersey is the wrong uniform. I've always thought of Vince Carter as a Raptor first, even now when he's with the Mavs and when he was with the Nets. But I also associate him 100% with the purple and black uniform set, I don't remember him wearing the red at all.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

This is a different interpretation of "wrong" uniform, that much is certain. Here is another example.

David Cone pitched more games for the Mets than he did for any other team, so seeing him in a Mets uni isn't "wrong," especially for someone like me who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s. But here he is in black during his brief comeback in 2003.
