Some replica jerseys were indeed pretty spot on, while others are just awful when it comes to replicating what teams actually wore on the court. Champion replicas here in the states were printed on nylon and everything screen printed on. Around a time when all these other teams were making wacky and outrageous moves in the uniform game, San Antonio settled into an understated but classy uniform (perfect for the Tim Duncan era) that would go on to last for three decades and counting.

It is tough to argue with greatness, which is exactly, and exclusively, what the Spurs have experienced while wearing these jerseys.
I like the '90s Rockets logo more than the jerseys they could be found on, but there's no denying that the wacky pinstriped unis turned heads, for better or for worse. Most of the Champion Europe jerseys I have owned were made in Italy.

— My god. You don’t sing “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Sixers” to a squad that wears these unis. — The Grant Hill era uniforms are the first Pistons jerseys to actually reference the team’s name. The darker green played nice with the dark red/yellow trim and the goofy/bold design style was pretty perfect for that era. 23 Cavs 2008–09 alternate and told me to walk around and show some local team pride, which isn’t hard when the jersey is this sick.There’s so much to love about this jersey.
