Hasn't the throwback jersey thing worn out its welcome yet? I mean, I want to relive the storied tradition of sports and honor its greatest players as much as the next guy. But this is ridiculous.
I doubt the sincerity of a lot of it. When Nike, just because of its rights agreements, mixes old styles with new player names, it's so obvious. E.g., the M.P.L.S. Kobe jerseys.
Furthermore, when Reebok's D'Funkd collection creates jersey colors and styles that never even existed but LOOK retro, the entire concept is undermined. It's self-defeating as a mass-produced item.
It also becomes "can-you-top-this." I mean, do some of these jersey wearers even know the players they're wearing? Or do they just like how the U of Wyoming colors look?
Hey, is that a Cherokee Parks alternate high school throwback?
Yeah, and next to him is a Rick Newheisel USFL. Sweet!
