DENVER, Jan. 26, 2012 – To help celebrate the 45th anniversary of the founding of the American Basketball Association, the Denver Nuggets are one of nine teams scheduled to wear uniforms commemorating their days in the ABA.
The Nuggets will don their throwback uniforms three times, once on the road (Feb. 11 at Indiana) and twice at home (Feb. 23 vs. San Antonio and March 9 vs. New Orleans).

Originally nicknamed the Denver Rockets, the team adopted the Nuggets moniker before the 1974-75 season. The ABA disbanded when Denver – along with the Indiana Pacers, New York Nets and San Antonio Spurs – left to join the NBA in 1976.

I was hoping for skylines, but these will be pretty cool to see. I'm getting a #41 Koufos.

The rainbow skylines will always be my favorites. Got a Lawson one that's pretty sick. These throwbacks seems rather weak.

This might be even uglier than uniforms Memphis and Clippers played with :noway:

Clippers I liked. Memphis was the worst professional jersey's ever worn.

It appears only the 2/11 game will have both teams in the throwback jerseys and that one is not here in denver.

2/11 - both teams in retro jerseys

2/23 - spurs not in retro jerseys

3/9 - New Orleans not in retro jerseys (not participating in commemorating the ABA)


I came across this one also in my searching. Chris Bosh with the 70's porn-stache is an instant classic.
