Off the top of my head, the only thing that comes even remotely close is Ernie Johnson.
Every single person on the planet loves Ernie Johnson.
He might be the only human with a universal approval rating.
Find me an Ernie Johnson hater, you could’t.
When I think of something else that would fit this description, NBA All Star jerseys is another.
Is that very random?
Yes, but hear me out.
I truly feel like this is another one of those moments where we’re all going to agree here.
Ovet the last handful of years, we’ve been all over the place with these things.
For every “OK” one we got like 2019
There were plenty of disasters.
We don’t need to talk about what happened in 2008 or 2014
You get the idea.
I would say there have certainly been more stinkers than good ones over the last 15+ years.
Let’s have a look
My honest gut reaction?
I’d give this a solid 8.1/10.
It’s probably the best one we’ve had recently, so take that for what it’s worth.
Here’s the thing though and where I think we’re all going to agree.
I’m no dummy.
Well, I am but you get the point.
Here’s why my idea is good.
I don’t think you make players use the 2023-24 version of their jersey.
If you want to let Anthony Edwards rock a 2002 KG era Wolves jersey?
You don’t think that shit sells?
Put LeBron in a Showtime Lakers jersey?
I’m on board.
You’re telling me KD rocking a Dan Majerle era Suns throwback wouldn’t be awesome?
If you want something fresh, just change up the year every season.
Tell me this isn’t a great idea.
Think of how much better that would be.
Hell, just look at how awesome that picture above is compared to anything post-2002.
You cannot sit there and tell me those are better.
