Billy B Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I would bring back the entire identity and modify it with current colors for the Memphis Grizzlies.If they can modify that identity to match the current colors, it would be very unique.I'd just bring back Big Country.

29texan Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The new Stars logo is better, but I still miss those sweaters AND they should not have dropped off the gold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefaniniowa Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I would bring back the entire identity and modify it with current colors for the Memphis Grizzlies.If they can modify that identity to match the current colors, it would be very unique.If the NBA should go back to expansion in a few years, I would like to see Vancouver get their team back and get the nickname "Grizzlies" as well. Return to their original teal blue, red, tan, and black as their colors. Those were neat jerseys. In fact they are probably ranked in my top three NBA jerseys of all time. If they do that, I think Memphis should get a new nickname. Maybe the Pros (their ABA nickname back in the 70s) or the Hound Dogs (makes sense because of its cities ties with Elvis).

TheOldRoman Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Those jerseys were so horrifically '90s. They have teal and red (not a good combo), AND black and brown, which absolutely don't go together. However, hot damn, there's just something about them. It works. I might hate them if they were worn regularly today, but at least in retrospect, they look good.

BrianLion Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I know I always rail against the overuse of black in the NHL, but this was literally one of my favorite NHL looks of all time. Canuck fans may disagree but I loved this look, and if I win the Powerball, move to Canada (to avoid taxation of course!), and for some reason become owner of the Canucks, this is what you'd be going back to...

Graham_Clayton Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If my favourite rugby league team (North Sydney Bears) ever made it back into the top level competition, I would get them to wear their late 1970's-early 1980's uniform, as seen on this contemporary football card: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I find those to be very overrated. While I'm not in love with the current colors they utilize I think the current wing logo on the helmet and the overall uniform design trumps anything from the past. Maybe if they could take the old colors and infuse them into the new design it could work nicely. I'm sure that at some point in the near future they will decide to bring back the old look but some how figure out a way to totally 'F' it up like the Chargers, Bills, and Vikings did with their newest retro looks.

oldschoolvikings Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The midnight green looks good and stands out.Stands out? In what way? Its dark, dull, and boring, part of the late 90's trend toward darkening every color scheme, that turned every royal blue team into a navy blue team, and made half the NHL get black sweaters. I'm sick of it. I want some color.You want to stand out? Go back to a bright kelly. It's CRIMINALLY underused in today's sports world. We have the Boston Celtics, the Vancouver Canucks, and... what? That's it. You tell me honestly... which of these uniforms stands out? Â http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 It stands out in that it's significantly different from any other shade of green being used in the NFL, and it's a unique and good-looking color that they own. I think people would appreciate it more if the uniforms weren't bogged down with so much black and charcoal trim. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
