NBA 90's Retro Jerseys, Thoughts?

[Money 23]

So much better than current uniforms. The other night it was the Pacers, and then the Heat have worn the 90's style jersey in back to back games.

Those 90's Heat jerseys go HARD ... screw the feminine, contemporary V-neck jersey designs. I prefer classic, crew neck basketball jerseys.

Plus, original durable mesh jersey material, which was solid yet breathable >>> Adidas dri-fit, which feels like paper or swimming trunks.

blacks suns jersey is also too nice

Co-sign, those were sick. I think those debuted in either '94 or '97, I forget. Also the past few seasons when the Lakers would wear the 70s / 80s / early 90s Laker throw backs, without the v-neck were also too nice. I remember when T-Mac on the Magic wore the 90's throwbacks in 2004, those were nice too. Hate how the jerseys now have crap material, cheap, v-necks, and bland text and designs.

Can't wait to see those sick Bucks unis

[TheMarkMadsen]

90s raptors, 90s magic, 90s pacers, 90s 76ers, 90s HEAT, 94 rockets, 90s bulls, 90s Lakers, 90s hornets. 90s hawks, 90s Kings. 90s suns

All better than their current jerseys.

I agree I hate the V neck jerseys.

Ugh, those Bucks uniforms should have been their regulars.

And those '96 Bulls black alternates, with red pinstripes are IMO still the GOAT jersey.

Agreed.

Bulls should wear those as Alts

Pacers should permanently switch to their late 90s pinstripes

Agreed. Also love the Raptors jersey and design as seen in your avatar. It's like they're moving away from acknowledging the Jurassic Park inspired dinosaur is their mascot. No bueno. These should be either of the Lakers jersey. Not the current v-neck crap.

I prefer these ones.

Not every team can have pinstripes.

[Money 23]

Those Pacers jerseys are nice, too. Shades of Reggie choking out Spike Lee in my mind.

Those old style 3 color bands on the shoulder/neck is sooooo tacky and played out... Bulls and Celtics should upgrade to the 21st century ... it looks more pro and less grade school.

The Hawks rocked those a few years ago:

Sick ... Professional, classy, and they pop. Those feminine V-neck / WNBA style jerseys need to go.

[xoneatom]

one of my favs

[fsvr54]

Hawks haven't worn them yet, I see every other team doing so.

[Heavincent]

I HATE all of the generic uniforms teams have switched to. Rockets, Raptors, Hawks, Pacers, and Suns come to mind.

I hate the Rockets uniforms in particular.

the Spurs current home jerseys suck balls. not feeling the placement of the logo and full silver... should go back to the old school

[MisterAmazing]

all the jerseys today are literally just a solid team color + trim + name. no designs anymore, pretty bland

[CLTHornets4eva]

Hawks need to go back to Yellow and Red. Really excited to see some of these. The Bucks and Kings are horrible though.

I really want the Bobcats to go to 1990's hornets jerseys when they switch back names next year...:hammertime:

Change can be good or bad. However, when you have classic jersey as the Celtics and Bulls do then there is very little need to tamper with it.

[Magic bird]

Arguably one of the best periods of NBA jerseys EVER.
Back in the day when Ray Allen wore that Bucks jersey...:bowdown:

[DCL]

the celtics jersey is actually pretty ugly and way out of date, but they have so much winning history.

only whack ass doormat teams that constantly miss the playoffs go for image reinvention and change flashy logos and jerseys every year... sometimes they overdo it though and look really flamboyantly gay.

[Noof]

I wouldn't mind subtle changes like the Lakers, but they shouldn't mess with it too much because of their history.

[blablabla]

Most of today's jerseys indeed look very bland and generic and sometimes just hideous(Kings, Rockets). But it seems like teams are starting to go back to a retro look with their jerseys, most recent examples are the Cavs and Knicks.
While the designs might not be groundbreaking the jersey are at least nice to look at, also Crew Necks
