When I take a look at these retro Denver Nuggets uniforms, I honestly think, cool and at the same time please wear longer shorts. Not only do these look good on cardboard, but can you imagine the nice swatches they would make on a jersey card? Would almost eliminate a single color jersey pull of them.
These jerseys were their road uniform from 1982/83-1984/85 season. They switched the color to a lighter blue, but, still same design and ran those until the 1992/93 season.
Now we take a look at their current uni's. Kinda bland and down to a single color. It doesn't look awful just basic. I do however like the shorts better as it fits the uniform better.
These have been their home uniforms since the 2008 season.
When taking a look at these in terms of collecting and on cardboard, I have to go retro on this one. I know I chose one home vs one away, but even still, the opposite version of the retro in white still looks better than the solid light blue of the current. Either way, retro wins today for me.
What do you guys think? Retro? Updated uni's? Let's hear your arguments for both in comments!
Current ones are so BLAH.
ReplyDeleteRetro wins in a landslide!
They kind of do have a throwback to the 80s design, it's yellow and the stripes are various shades of blue. It's not as colorful as the 80s uniforms though.
ReplyDeleteThe Nuggets modified their jerseys for this season. The blue text is now yellow with a blue border.
I like both jerseys but the uniqueness of the 80s design gives it the nod.
Retro by a mile. I don't think any team would ever put rainbow colors on their jersey at any point in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou have to like the retro version. They were so unique.
ReplyDeleteRetro > Baby Blue

ReplyDeleteI'm digging the retro on this one. Sometimes jerseys can have a little too much going on and I think it can turn into a mess but the Nuggets 80's jerseys are flashy without being a jumbled mess.

ReplyDeleteLove the retro look and the brief shorts. I even love the little gold miner logo they used to have on some of their programs and team stickers. Nuggets had a great, iconic look back in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteThose old Nuggets uniforms are the best.
ReplyDeleteI would attend more Nuggets games if they went back to the old unis.
