Woah That thing had some stufff I didnt know. Thnx fo r the info Avery

 

I wonder when we will get new jerseys again?

A little bit of both.

 

good job :thumbsup:

I swear I hate the 74-77 & 66-70 jerseys. love the 91-94 jerseys though.

 

Sixers should get those 1978-1991 jerseys back,maybe we will win a title then

 

I had a thread about the jerseys forever ago, just got bumped down, but nice stuff digging all that up, even though it's common sense to me by now.

 

We should go back to the 78-91 jerseys and change our logo back to that till today it is the most recognized sixers logo around. I just got a hat today with that logo and its been over a decade since we used it and its still selling.

 

Nice thread

We need to go back to these jerseys. They were hot!

 

I personally like the Nats ones myself.

yah i did too but gave up on them when i started to realize whenever we wore them on Retro-Nights we always lost

 

I like the 65-66 jerseys myself.

OMFG the 91-94 JERSEYS ARE HIDEOUS! OMFG! THAT IS THE WORST JERSEY EVER!

 

^ Are you kidding me? That's the best jersey up there. Okay, maybe the road jersey is ugly but the home jsersey version of it is beautiful.

 

i personally like the 65 and 66 jerseys because they look the coolest IMO and it says my user name.
