    I got so tired of seeing those ugly jerseys the teams wore during the games, that Houston Rockets, yellow and red was awful and the Knicks old school jerseys looked so ugly i had to laugh when i saw the players wearing them. [​IMG]

    Would ya prefer original NBA jerseys or these ugly retro jerseys which make the game look old school?

    I love the Old School Throwbacks. I think the designs on each one are unique and I like them. But of course I'm big on the Old School NBA.

    I agree with you 100%. I think the Retro jerseys are absolutely horrible and nothing more than a marketing ploy by the NBA to boost sales. They are looking into the hip-hop scene far to much in my opinion when coming up with jersey styles. I think the NBA right now is at the will of the hip-hop. I bet if "burnt orange" was this seasons "old school" then we would see all the NBA jerseys with orange lettering.

    You can't fault the NBA because they are making great money off of these retro jerseys. However I just hate the jerseys - they are absolutely hideous looking.

    I like seeing the retro jerseys on players. Sometimes it's a cool jersey, sometimes you see why it is retro and should stay in the past. It's really the NBA selling the jerseys, which should be painfully obivous. Just look at "Be Cool" where they kind of mocked the jersey thing.

    I LOVE retro jerseys. If you are into collecting cards, it's cool to have a jersey piece from a retro jersey. I like LA's MPLS jerseys, and the Cav throwbacks especially.

    Well to me them shits is all ugly, and if the NBA wanna sell em, sell em in stores.

    Seeing those players are on TV feels like u watching old school basketball and it dont look like 2000 NBA Baskeball.

    I think all those jerseys suck and i would never waste my money on a throwback. [​IMG]

    Good...All the NBA wants to do is market these retro jerseys so Reebok sells them and they make money. The retro style is getting played out.

    I don't really think it is a marketing tool. The NBA just wants to like show some respect to the teams fo the past. You notice every time a team is wearing throwbacks they were the jersys of a team that was good back in the day. Not to mention I enjoy seeeing some different every once in a while.
