mr71 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 When these jerseys were released in 1999, were there any sold that were customized already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I think they were old but I dont think they were customized. I think they came out with a players name on it already. Also I don't think they were a big hit since you don't see them around at all, it was a real dud of a promotion. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyon81 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I thought the idea was pretty cool. I think part of the reason people dont wear them, is because some of the teams that did it, like seattle, used color schemes that were not, at the time, or ever a part of the franchise. To wear a black/silver/red mariners jersey 5 years after the promotion is tough. Also, you probably didnt buy them if you were an adult, it was more of a "kid/teen" thing. By now, im sure they have all grown out of them.I wouldnt see it done again, it was kind of neat. It does seem more like something the NBA would do, then again, they just make them "official" and get the full authentic price out of you every other year.

griffin128 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 That was the worst promotion ever. The hats were absolutely retarded. The uniforms were ridiculous. For the Orioles that just switched it to black and silver... oohhhhh futuristic!If they wanted it to be more accurate of the future of baseball, they should have just made every teams uniform black.

Puckguy14 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 The idea was good, but the unis were bad. I remember watching the Giants-Padres game on TV. The Padres looked like they did a X-over of the 1999 NHL ASG unis.The giants had a white jersey with a black SF "futuristically slanted" and were supposed to wear an orange undershirt. They ended up in black underneath and looked more monocromatic than futuristic. If they did a better job, it might have worked. Although, you could say the BP looks are a halfway version of TATC 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin128 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 That other thread on this made me start thinking, does anyone have any photos of when teams did this promo, or maybe know where to find pics of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznit1083 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I thought it was a good idea, but these need to be used during spring training. Leave the standard unis for the regular season. It just makes sense that way, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 The White Sox actually had game-used versions on sale at their SoxFest last month. First time I'd seen those... $250 a piece I think for what looked like a modern NBA black replica with a big tilted Sox logo on it. Not too exciting.

TBGKon Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 some teams TATC jerseys looked nice, i think they should create Turn Back the Clock Sundays (kinda like Hardwood classics nights) where home teams wear retro jerseys on sundays at home. what is your side on this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TolbertIsGod Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I found this on ebay. I'm not sure if this is actually a "Turn Ahead the Clock" jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Yeah that is a TATC.

cheezman Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Here's a site that's got all of the jerseys (I think). I forgot how awful some of these were...Turn Ahead The Clock JerseysEdit: In addition to those pictured on the site, the Braves, Orioles, Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers, Mets, and Athletics also wore TATC unis.

ColeJ Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 that mercury mets jersey is horrid, but the futuristic cut of it isn't bad......looks kinda cool, if it were in team colors and said NEW YORK METS in a semi-traditional form...i'm just saying that the almost-basketball shape is an interesting idea.
