ABA Jerseys, Caps, and Logos?

CanofCorn73 · 05-25-2012, 09:42 AM

Hi,
I was wondering if any ever has or is interested in attempting to make jerseys, caps, and logos for the old ABA teams (american basketball association). There are so cool nicknames and uniforms from that era that would look great on a baseball jersey. There is a webiste called: Remembering the ABA" which give you an idea of what the jerseys and logos look like.

I'll try and tackle this. You guys want a strict ABA 1970s style, MLB-adapted ABA or something more modern?

smythejd · 12-04-2012, 03:52 PM

Thanks No Pepper for taking on this project...

I would like what txranger did with the Spirit of St Louis...

I dont know what style that is but it is awesome...

Last question, should I do the pullover jerseys or button-downs? This isn't a final version, but I wonder if the ABA would adopt a multicolored baseball, like shown here in the Colonels' jersey.

Would the ball be Red/white with blue stitching or Blue/white with red stitching? Ha!

I really don't mean to highjack this thread from canofcorn73...

But I can include my 2 cents...

I like the button down jersey format... And the ball looks great...

I too, think that button down jerseys are alot more classy looking.

I stay away from pull-over type jerseys, since they look too plain.

I have the early 60's Cincy sleeveless cut going on...might be too similar to the actual basketball jerseys. Yay or nay?!?

I like the baseball jersey style...
