But no Nutters
Over the weekend, I saw several highlight clips of NBA teams sporting
"throwback" uniforms from the 70's and 80's. The problem is (in
spite of the vintage color schemes, lettering, etc.) the way the
uniforms fit the players; despite the throwback feel, the
uniforms still fit like loose, sleeveless shirts and oversized
quasi-knickers rather than the wife-beaters and
one-inch-inseam-boxer-shorts of yore. Does somebody have a
problem with Magic Johnson's basketball uniform?! Would it kill
Ben Wallace to dress like Isaiah Thomas one night?!
