    I got a kick out of seeing the Kings in those old Royal uniforms. Didn't Oscar Robertson look great-- even with that great head of white hair.

    I do think they should wear retro uniforms though-- meaning go with the old short shorts. If you want to capture the look, capture the look in its entirety.

    That's exactly what I'm saying but not replete with the meaning that you are implying. :)

    If they are going to wear the retro unis I think they should get fully into the spirit and wear the shorts of the era as well. Maybe we can put them all in Chuck Taylor All-Stars to boot....

    That style of shorts will come back to the NBA one day. There is not a doubt in my mind.

    I thought the retro Kings unis were hideous..........especially with Divac wearing the socks with 2 stripes up to his kneecaps.

    I'd love to see the Hawks wearing their Lime Green uniforms they rolled out when they signed Pete Maravich.
