AndrewMLind 1,535 Posted July 10, 2019 Is it possible for someone to *not* have a wrong uniform, given his success in both San Antonio and Toronto? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt 3,185 Posted July 10, 2019 If you lead a team to a ring, it's definitely not your wrong uniform 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That, along with his long absence from the Spurs. But no wrong uniform really for this guy yet, but we'll wait and see what happens with the Clippers. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon9485 1,062 Posted July 13, 2019 I agree, the Kawhi take is a bad one. It can’t be a wrong uniform if the player not only won a championship but was the Finals MVP. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echo 428 Posted July 13, 2019 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: Sure it can be... even if in this case it's not. Exactly. The Colorado Avalanche is obviously the wrong uniform for Ray Bourque, even though he won The Cup there. He played (playoffs included) almost 1,700 games as a Bruin, and about 125 games with the Avs. If he would have won the Conn Smythe as well, does that suddenly make it the right uniform for him? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJ Sands 3,419 Posted July 13, 2019 Bourque and Kawhi are not an apples to apples comparison. Bourque was fine with the Avs but just a piece and not their best player. Kawhi was the reason the Raptors won. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just pointing out an example of how someone could win a championship in a 'wrong' uniform. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon9485 1,062 Posted July 13, 2019 I would agree that winning a championship alone doesn't make it the "right" uniform. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would agree with this if the player has significant time spent on multiple teams. Suppose something happened where Kobe in his final season instead played for the Heat and won a championship. Seeing him in a Heat jersey would just seem wrong. Or something like Tom Brady playing one final season for any other team and still winning a Super Bowl. (But on the other hand, I actually don't find Peyton's Bronco jersey "wrong.") 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrispw12 118 Posted July 13, 2019 A few other short stints I can't really consider wrong, Jack Morris with the 1991 Twins pitching that epic game seven and Bill Walton only playing one season and 10 games as a Celtic. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was with the Broncos long enough (and took them to two Super Bowls) that I can easily identify him with the Broncos as quickly as the Colts. But if, say, Tom Brady went to the Chiefs and won a Super Bowl, it would feel wrong to me. So it's always situational. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wade Heidt 407 Posted July 13, 2019 Here is one for some of the more hardcore CFL fans: BC-born DT Rick Klassen played 1981-1987, and 1989-1990 with the BC Lions. Spent one year in between with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1988. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
