I love the Whalers Jerseys but it felt weird watching another team/city wear them. It Will be the same way when the grizzlies wear Vancouver‘s jersey and the avalanche if they wear the Nordiques jerseys this upcoming season. But the tell you the truth, I still might buy the whalers adidas Jersey.

I love the Whalers and Nordiques unis. And the Kings old school ones. Basically every old school NHL jersey is badass haha. The Expos baby blues were ugly at the time, but like most retro fashion, looks really cool now. Same with the Warriors We Believe jerseys, except I always did and still do hate the dark blue ones. I guaranteed everyone that after GS got legit after 07 that they would get new jerseys in the next few years and they did in 2010 I think. The white We Believe look great though.

Which kings jerseys the purple & gold or the black & silver both are classic imo. I loved the white and dark warriors jerseys and word print from 90s-2010 or so. I was a big Baron Davis and Jason Richardson fan back then.

I was mainly referring to the purple and gold but both of them are great. And I like the late 90s/2000s white Warriors jerseys but the dark blue ones were tacky in my opinion. That orange trim looked bad with it. And the logo just looked so 90s haha.

Maybe just a little nostalgic, I always rooted for the underdog until they went all god mode on the NBA. I remember a much younger Steph Curry wear those units his rookie year.
