Number six: 1981-1984

I don’t have nearly as many problems with this jersey as I did with the previous one, but I won’t go as far as to say that it’s good. It just looks kind of unfinished.

Granted, these are from a long time ago, and I’m sure whoever designed/produced them wasn’t pouring as much money into them as Nike did with the current getup, but we can do better than this right?

It doesn’t even look like the numbers are straight, and it’s not just this poorly aligned picture. I scoured and scoured trying to find one that looked less crooked. They’re all like this.

The trim along the neckline and sleeves is almost too small to be doing anything at all, and the font is weird in a way I can’t quite describe. It’s almost like it belongs on the front of an Indiana tourism brochure, not a basketball jersey.

Still, the jersey is simple, and you can’t screw up too much with simple. The gold is a nice enough shade, and the blue alternate version looks good as well. Other than looking a lot like a practice jersey, this uniform is passable enough to not be last. Some days, that’s about all we can hope for.
