Wilt Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I want that white Timberwolves jacket to wear socially. Also didn't realize how prevalent the short-sleeved jackets were at one time.Those Celtics warmups also a differently-colored nameplate sewn on - adds to the look and would never fly today.http://a.espncdn.com...ettk_jv_576.jpgYou were sayingWeren't the Celtics fined for placing NOB so they withdrew them?

BBTV Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Since this is just "paste any old warmup", I give to you the waterfall era sixers.

chakfu Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The realization that many old ones were templates makes me a little less angry at Adidas.But really, what is the motivation for forcing a template on teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 But really, what is the motivation for forcing a template on teams?Probably cheaper to produce. That's probably also why every team has been forced into solid numbers and a select few collar designs with the switch to Rev30.

TheStoicPaisano Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I remember being about six and seeing a Pistons warmup with "Fennis" on it. Something called Fennis Dembo is hilarious at 28 years old also.This goes to NCAA, but UNC had jean jacket warmups once, my clearest memory was Dante Calabria (of all people) during a shootaround. Maybe the 92-93 title team? It was definitely early-90s fashion, but Nike trying something outside of the box, though not timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the league made the Celtics stop even putting nameplates on the back of their generic templated warmups, so I can't imagine they'd be okay with a team just completely abandoning whatever template Adidas is using each season and doing their own thing.
