#BringItBackToBlack

Time to bring it back permanently Orlando! Call the League Offices. Get the Paperwork filled & signed. Call the Manufacturers & Distributors. Set the Promotional Events up. Bring It Back To Black.

There is a New Magic Era in town. Talent is dripping everywhere! No more over-the-hill vets. No more too-young rookies either. (Except ex-ACB'er, #23). The Timing Is Perfect.

The Magic, the City, and the Fans would be Electrified With Excitement over the return of the Original Pinstripes!

Color Schedule:
Home Games - White Pinstripes
Big Ticket Home Games - Blue/Black Pinstripes
Road Games - Black Pinstripes

Image



And for the finishing touch, the new Team Kicks to match the Original Pinstripes..
Just released about a week ago, on the 4th of July, 2015,

I dare us to make some noise on bringing these back, whatever way it may be.. small or big.. talk about it around town, get others talking about it, start/join a Twitter Trend, or, someone(s) with skills go make a Bring Original Pinstripes Back website. Let's do it!

Yep. Only old school pinstripes! The best uniforms in NBA history.

I like our current modern black jerseys but the white and grey (especially the grey) jersey's need a overhaul.

We have this thread at least 3 times a year, but we never do anything about it. The uniform is iconic and admired by all sports fans. Even if they never go back to the old pinstripes, I'm surprised the Magic have yet to switch the uniform up since Dwight Howard left to ditch the wreak of that era. With the team at a crossroads and a young, exciting core, they should definitely take the opportunity to re-brand the team. I support the push to bring the old 90's jerseys or some variation of them back. Hopefully we can reach out in some capacity to the higher ups.

Fans clearly want them to come back permanently, but I think the thought is that there's more money to be made by having them as occasional "retro" jerseys instead. *shrugs*

I think it would be great though, they're iconic as far as Magic fans are concerned and I hate when teams have iconic uniforms and change them for the sake of making a change.

all 3 of those uniforms should be permanent, but it won't, the magic will keep dishing out strange uniforms.

I'd be interested but also interested in what the PR team could come up with on a new idea with pinstripes. Open for either. I expect it to come next offseason.

They need to bring these jerseys back.... so badly. The great pinstripe jersey ever. My favorite jersey of all time with the Jazz Mountain background jersey from the 90's.

Regardless of if they change it to this jersey or not, we all agree they need to atleast change the jersey from the Dwight Howard era ones

Skin,

http://sneakernews.com/2015/06/02/the-nike-penny-pack-in-detail/
"... a formidable run of signatures including his unforgettable championing of the Nike Air Foamposite One. For the unfamiliar, Penny’s Royal colorway of the Foamposite wasn’t up to par with NBA uniform standards at the time as it didn’t have the prerequisite amount of black on the otherwise monochromatic royal blue upper. So during the ’97 playoffs when Penny was garnering attention for putting up back-to-back 40 point games to will the Magic and Heat to a deciding Game 5, the man took a felt tip marker and colored in tiger-like stripes on the shoe’s upper to meet the NBA’s demands. That PE is now officially releasing alongside the new Nike Penny 6, a shoe that draws from the rich Penny lineage as well while adding new tech advancements like Dyanmic Flywire and Megafuse into the mix."

http://sneakernews.com/2015/06/30/complete-release-details-for-the-nike-air-penny-sharpie-pack/
"All kinds of Penny Hardaway sneaker history is included in this special two-shoe set of one of his most popular and newest signature shoes. First is the Nike Air Foamposite One “Sharpie” inspired by the early pair of the same “Royal” colorway that Penny wore in 1997 that he used a black marker to color in the ridges of the Foamposite because they didn’t have enough black to meet league uniform standards. The other half of the pack contains Penny’s brand-new signature, the Air Penny 6, with a serious dose of DNA from his previous models—especially the Penny 1—infused with today’s technology. There’s the history, so now for all the details on how you can actually get your set. The two-shoe pack retails for $500 and will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers in limited quantities beginning July 4th."

Nah, that's the Penny 1 in your sig dude.

I've been on board with this forever. I was pissed when we made the change the first time in '99. We should go back to a variation of the original logo and uniform designs and stick with them. My only request... a rounded collar! Please no more V-necks!
