Wow, those '97 Dolphins unis had the worst number spacing ever

No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Ready? First season of the Ducks, and the last season for all these unis. Of course, the ducks met the Nucks, Wild, and Sens in the playoffs that year, so not totally rare, but many of these are the only matchups ever. Although, you could say it was the only season for the Ducks against every other team because EDGE changed all designs.

The LA Rams vs the Oakland Raiders.

 

Or maybe it's the LA Rams vs the LA Raiders

 

Or maybe it's the LA Rams vs the Las Vegas Raiders

 

Or the STL Rams vs the Oakland Raiders.

 

Either way, no matter what happens this jersey matchup will look the exact same the next two years. Stupid NFL

Another rarity: The Vancouver Canucks third-generation 'flying skate' uniform set (BONUS: the third jersey pictured worn in the last two years of that uniform set) met the first-year Phoenix Coyotes for only one season (four games, to be exact) in the 1996-97 season.

Another rarity: These two uniform sets, the last year of the Denver Nuggets "rainbow" set and the first year of the Phoenix Suns' first-genration "sunburst" unis coincided in the 1992-93 season only (for four games at that).

The Kings/Canes and Nuggets/Suns ones are great examples for this thread. They feel like complete clash of eras. This is my favorite thread in the forum.

Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan. Not so much playing it, but more the designing and sewing of uniforms.

Tyler: That's neat.

Every now and again I look for NHL match-ups that fall in this thread. I'm not sure if it was one of the sets listed a few pages back, but the Mighty Ducks met the Boston Bruins two times in 1993-94 and not at all in 1995 (lockout). Not a great picture, but it's the best that I could find.

No pictures found of the Ducks eggplant set versus the white Bruins jersey.
