Now that special event uniforms are becoming more of a thing per the release OOTP 23 notes?
It's tough anytime you do the "honor them" thing. Doesn't matter what it is. Take NeL throwbacks. Are they honoring a league, erasing their role in why there was an NeL in the first place, or just selling the merch? It's seems it's always a bit of everything.

NeL throwbacks are great IMO because it allows people to re-visit history in a way. I'm all for things like that.
As far as me personally creating the "Boston" jerseys, I have basically stayed away from the one-offs when it comes to jerseys, besides, there are plenty of others here who create those well ahead of me.
I don't mean to sound completely against the marathon jerseys and the meaning, but there has been plenty done in the years past to make sure we will never forget, I just feel its time to move on and the alternate jersey overload just brings that feeling out in me more I guess
