Spurs Unveil the Chaps Throwbacks

[dougp]

Wonder if I can get a Manu or Bonner one?

[DesignatedT]

I actually think they look pretty slick.

[NASpurs]

As long as they're not ass less.

[timtonymanu]

Looks like a Clippers jersey, imo.

[Bruno]

I feared the worst but it didn't look that bad. they've made a good job but it still isn't as good as the black on black San Antonio jerseys.

[PDXSpursFan]

I prefer "Los Spurs" :bang

[tp2021]

I feared they would be hideous but they actually look pretty good. Like Bruno said however, Black on Black is my dream. Hopefully they can do it before Tim or Manu retire.

[dougp]

Doesn't matter if they do them or not if we can't purchase them. Guess I'm back to checking the NBA store every few days to look for updates.

[SenorSpur]

:lol

Priceless!

[baseline bum]

Those suck and are easily the worst jerseys the San Antonio Spurs will have ever worn.

these were 1000x worse.

Besides the fact that they look a lot like LACs jerseys, they are actually pretty clean looking.

Disagree. While the color was awful, the old-school Spurs logo makes up for it. On a side note, the warm-ups they used the nights they wore silver were amazing.

[FromWayDowntown]

They look like they play for Westlake High School in Austin.

[dougp]

Hell, you guys want an ugly jersey? This thing is hideous.

[lefty]

WTF is that


Scottish patterns?


Should suit Bonner

[pookenstein]

They're OK I guess. Nothing special though. The black on black would have been awesome.

[TimmehC]

Making Green the guinea pig, eh?

[stxspurs]

I wanted the black with san Antonio,across the chest

[jaffies]

Is that short for "Chapetes"?

[Juggity]

Old school spurs logo looks amateurish compared to the newer one.

[LakerHater]

I dont think this is a "San Antonio" Spurs throw back!

[TDomination]

I'm assuming they will be wearing the white ones when they play at home. Is there a picture of the road uniform?

[Trainwreck2100]

the warmup shirt is nice

[Spursfan092120]

Doesn't matter if they do them or not if we can't purchase them. Guess I'm back to checking the NBA store every few days to look for updates.

They're going to go on sale in March on NBA.com, supposedly...and you'll be able to buy them at the AT&T Center in March, also.

[timvp]

Am I the only one who thought Danny Green was wearing a UTSA warmup at first glance? Lawsuit in 3 ... 2 ...

[Nathan Explosion]

Black on black is the pick to go with hands down. Having said that, why wear those against the Clippers? I understand Indiana and New Jersey (former ABA teams) but seeing as how the Spurs have to play Denver, shouldn't that have been the 3rd game?

If it's an ABA throwback, wear it against the ABA teams. Hell, it would be cool to see those teams wear their ABA throwbacks as well.

Of course, the NBA won't allow for the red, white and blue ball, but everything else would be cool.

[I. Hustle]

I snagged the all black Duncan jersey from foot locker a few years ago. They had solid black and solid white.

[Biggems]

these were 1000x worse.

If the jerseys were matte instead of glossy, i bet they would be a hell of a lot better.

[LakerHater]

Ya'll see Tim's brace?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Hideous. At least they're not as gag-reflex-inducing as the jerseys Memphis is wearing right now. Also, what was up with them playing stock porno music in the background while Danny Green was modeling the jersey?

NBA.com is weird.

[Blackjack]

LOL Spurs.

Black on black, San Antonio on the front, is what everyone wants. It's a great fuckin jersey.

Instead, we get a Dallas jersey.

Lame.

I got the solid white one....:tu

[Solid D]

I actually went to a few Chaps games and I listened to their games all the time (Terry Stembridge). Brings back some childhood memories.

I've never understood why the hell the Spurs PR department hasnt used the black jerseys with "San Antonio" on the front. I would kill to get a Duncan one....

Pop and the Spurs obviously know what the team needs and the fans want.

Just ask 'em . . .

[dylankerouac]

Noob here. Can someone clarify and maybe post a pic of a black on black jersey? I googled them and I see a ton of black jersey's with white text so I'm unsure what the black on black reference is. I do see some with black text and a white outline, very few so maybe that is the reference.

Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking that is the case.

Looks way cool though.

[Obstructed_View]

Fucking stupid.

[xmas1997]

Really ridiculous and ugly, why do they have to wear DALLAS jerseys? Make the Mavs wear them! This is the San Antonio, not Dallas!

[dragonpride2001]

The Dallas Chaparrals were moved to San Antonio that us how we got our team We just renamed them the spurs and changed the colors to black white and silver
The mavericks were an expansion team that began in 1980-1981 season

[dragonpride2001]

I meant to say that is how we got our team

[jimo2305]

oh please have a little variety..

the glossy jerseys were an atrocity.. made me wanna throw up when i first saw our players wearing them..

black/white
black/black

same spurs logo..

it's just monotonous to me.. at least mix it up once in a while.. it's not like we're gonna wear these jerseys forever.. quite frankly i like em..

Obviously, and strengthens my point, that they were DALLAS team.
When we bought them we changed the name to SAN ANTONIO SPURS, not San Antonio Chaps!

[DMC]

I don't care what they wear, just win.

Actually they were named something else before Spurs. Too lazy to look it up though.

[LakerHater]

Gunslingers, I think?

[Fpoonsie]

Gunslingers, I think?

Lulz. Thank fuck SA had the presence of mind to change that on their own accord before they were forced to call themselves the Warlocks or some shit.

[Budkin]

According to teh internets this is what they looked like:

[Thompson]

Those suck and are easily the worst jerseys the San Antonio Spurs will have ever worn.

+1 the Spurs wearing 'Chaps' is a bad joke.

[Solid D]

It extends across most professional sports teams to wear tribute, throwback gear for either the franchise or the city.

San Antonio could have kept the name Chaparrals, while they were leasing the team its first season in SA. However, the new management team decided to change it to the Spurs. The initial idea was the Gunslingers. They played the 1st preseason in SA with red, white and blue Spurs unis...then, for the regular season in 1973, they changed to the silver and black, offset number style with which we are familiar.

At least they were original. LA certainly isn't known for its lakes and you NEVER think of Jazz music coming out of Salt Lake City...tabernacle choir music, perhaps, but not Jazz.

Here is an example similar to the Chaps throwbacks. The Tennessee Titans wore these Houston Oilers unis recently.

[alamo50]

I hope not one single of these jerseys will be sold.

[dougp]

I hope not one single of these jerseys will be sold.

I plan on getting one - who do you think I should go for?

Bonner, Manu, Duncan (already have an away jersey though), Gervin, Sean E. or Bowen?

:downspin:

[Solid D]

BTW, the Spurs starting lineup in 1973 after changing names was Joe Hamilton (5'-10"), James Silas (6'-3"), Harley "Skeeter" Swift (6'-3"), Rich Jones(6'-8"), and Bob Netolicky (6'-9"). That was basically a 3 guard lineup and nobody was over 6-9, so Pop wasn't the first Spurs' coach to "go small". :p:
