What was the NBA even thinking back in its sleeved jersey era? Fans of the Boston Celtics in particular can remember the utterly vile ‘sherseys’ that looked something like the garbage can Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch lived in that were somehow supposed to represent the Celtics.
And truth be told, they were one of the better-looking monstrosities floating around in the ether thanks to the NBA’s less popular marketing ideas. Mercifully, the shersey era quickly faded, to be replaced with an endless cavalcade of poorly designed ‘City Edition’ alternate jerseys in their place (recall the Boston Enya-In-An-Irish-Pub City Editions, as just one example).
The man behind the eponymous “Kofie” YouTube channel put together a clip not too long ago that takes a closer look at the dreaded shersey era of the NBA. Take a look at the clip embedded below to see his snapshot of that moment it might be better if we all blotted out of our collective memories forever.
