Bobcats vs Pelicans, November 2nd, 2013. 

This was the Bobcats' second to last season; the inaugural season for the Pelicans.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Atlanta Hawks, April 5th, 2003.

The Grizzlies changed to their navy+teal colorway in 2004 (after adopting the Vancouver Grizzlies' colors when they moved in 2001); the Hawks to their navy+red colorway in 2007.

Houston Rockets vs. Vancouver Grizzlies, February 27th, 1999.

The Rockets changed to their current red+white colorway in 2003 (I personally love these navy jerseys; I wish they would bring them back), and the Vancouver Grizzlies departed for Memphis in 2001.

Seattle Supersonics vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, February 14th, 1996.

This was the first year of the Sonics' green+red colorway and the last year of the Twolves' royal blue+green colorway. (I couldn't find a single picture of players from both teams in the frame, so a video of the game is the best I've got.)

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, March 7th, 2009.

 

This was the last season of the 76ers' black jersey before they adopted the modern blue+red colorway, and this was the Thunders' inaugural season.

1996 - "Shield" Ravens take on the block-number Steelers. This was the only time these two particular uniforms matched up, as the other time they played Steelers were in black and Ravens were in white (I can't find pictures of that game). The Steelers changed to the italic numbers in 1997 and the Ravens changed to their current look in 1999.

New York Islanders v. Colorado Avalanche in Denver on January 9th, 2010. Only time this could have/did happen, with this being the last year of the Isles' Edge jerseys and first year of the Avs alternates.

In addition, the Islanders wore their Stadium Series jerseys against the Avs in New York in 2014. It could've happened the year after, but it didn't.

Only two games ever that involved these specific uniforms, both from 2003-04: when Portland switched up their unis a bit and added an alternate red uni ala the Jack Ramsey salad days (fthis was the second year of that) and the last year of the original Memphis Grizzlies unis.

 

Oh, and note the irony of the first pic: Z-Bo against Memphis in the old Pyramid with THOSE unis

The one-year only Cleveland Browns 1984 uniforms against the Archie-era New Orleans Saints in the second-to-last year of those unis

 

I had no idea the Saints had been messing up their pant/sock options for so long.

 I think with their full pant stripe, it's not as egregious
