Cosmic Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Baseball is by far the best simply because they do throwback games on a regular basis, not just anniversary years, not just thanksgiving or new years, they actually try.MLB plays 162 games per year. Think about that number. It's basically twice as much as the closest competitor. They have to do different stuff just to keep the fans from getting bored.EDIT: I should probably try to contribute something on-topic. I like the NHL throwbacks the best because of the whole package of equipment that changes, like someone else said. Different pants, socks, helmets, jerseys, gloves, and maybe even goalie stuff if the goalie's into it. Actually, the goalie could be a huge factor in whether a team's throwbacks work. If your retro gear has a different color scheme than your current stuff, it really detracts from the throwback look if you see the goalie's mismatched pads. A really modern pattern with really classic jersey would also take you out of the moment. Look at backup Dany Sabourin's pads for the first Winter Classic: versus what we actually got in the game: Also, I think this is Ty Conklin with a funky pattern on his pads with a retro jersey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 i'm confused here, does good throwback's mean that which league had better uniforms in past generations? or which league has the most accurate throwbacks. For me the latter is more important and is what i chose to do my list.1) NBA1) MLB3) NHL4) NFL My fantasy teams: West Coast Cardinals (WRU), Glasgow Claymores (RLI) (Champions 2012) and Pemberton Foresters (VBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think the NBA fails in the throwback department because even though it replicates the old designs, the players wear long baggy shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
