HORNETS TO WEAR BUCS THROWBACKS

[raysox]

oh, THAT bucs. Makes more sence now.

Who else is wearing ABA uni's?

[Milo Meningocele]

Aren't anniversaries usually celebrated in honor of things that lasted? Commemorating the 40th anniversary of a team that's been gone 37 years, is pretty weak.

[cappital92]

Normally I'd agree Milo, but they did make the ABA championship in their first year, so I think that it's a good idea.

[Sabrejeff]

There's no need to yell.

[Gobbi]

It says that the Hornets are one of four teams wearing HWC jerseys... Any word on what the other ones will be?

Hahahahaha. What a beautiful response to a simple request to not use all caps to relay a bit of news. ;;;

[CAVALIER]

Cool.....I can't wait for the Mardi Gras colored Alternate....Love the new unis still have a lasting pipe dream top get the JAZZ back....

Any ABA throwback is good.

Haha yeah, despite the obvious disconnect, I still initially thought, "Why are the Hornets going to wear a Tampa Bay Bucs jersey?"

HORNETS TO WEAR BUCS THROWBACKS

I think this is very cool. The Bucs had one of the best uni sets in the ABA:

I've always loved the striping pattern on their jerseys. With matching shorts, this design was used by several teams of that era:

... including perhaps my favorite b-ball jersey of all time:

The four teams are the New Orleans BucHornets, the Washington ZephyrWizards, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers.

Wicked, thanks for the info! Those Zephyrs jerseys are pretty slick.

Why would the Wizards wear Chicago Zephyr uniforms? They should have rocked the "Dr. J" Virginia Squires set.

Why would the Wizards wear Chicago Zephyr uniforms? They should have rocked the "Dr. J" Virginia Squires set.

because the Chicago Zephyrs moved to Baltimore in 1964, becoming the Baltimore Bullets. Upon moving down the corridor to DC, they soon were christened the Capitol Bullets, then they became the Washington Bullets but apparently Bullets is too violent a nickname in a gang ravaged city, so they became the Wizards.

As to why they would wear a Chicago uniform? To sell more jerseys!!!

Those Philly uniforms are just the Sixers.

There was no uniform, ever, like the Eventy Ixers home jersey of the early 70s (shortly before the 9-73 season!)

Pretty cool. I saw the Bucs play in 1970, and though a website I found says they played at the Loyola Field House, Municipal Auditorium, and the Tulane gym, I'd swear the game I attended was at the University of New Orleans field house on the Lakefront. I was only 9 though so the memory is a little fuzzy, and sadly I didn't keep my ticket stub or program.

Interesting that the Hornets will only wear the Bucs jerseys when they play the Charlotte Bobcats...very interesting.
