    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Hunter:</div><div class="quote_post">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.</div>

    Oh relax, pay attention in the next few years. Jerseys are goin out of style thanks to Jay Z and his button downs.

    thats exactly why they have them...its all about marketing...plus it gets fans acclimated with their team's history and makes them feel apart of the past..i didnt think the Rockets retro unis were bad at all; I liked 'em...but its just a matter of taste and opinion...

    the throwbacks are dope, the only downside to it is having to look at that ugly ass Denver throwback *vomits*
