1998 Adelaide 36ers

1979 Brisbane Bullets

Melbourne United



Err okay.

1994 Sydney Kings

1996 Hobart Devils

The 'DEVILS' uni on the left is the winner.

I also love how the Bullets went all the way back to 1979, who knew that was their colour scheme? Illawarra, as another '79er, hopefully come up big with theirs as well. I see Hawks-Bullets is scheduled for 21 January so I'm thinking they are cooking up something very similar.

They are also very thematic, apart from whatever the F that is from the bozos over at Melbourne United:

1998 Adelaide 36ers = Champions
1979 Brisbane Bullets = Foundation
1994 Sydney Kings = Glory Days
1996 Hobart Devils = The Final Year

Phoenix also didn't go with any heritage and went with Heartland.

Funny how both Victorian teams keep discarding their old nbl clubs. I thought United were doing North Melbourne but I was told the nbl said to United it’s retro round not heritage, very confusing.

@Perthworld. Nice research. Good job. Thanks

I see Melbourne decided to use the same blue and font from the 36ers city jersey for some reason.

Err did SEM Phoenix steal from Phoenix Suns design?

Sorry was it "inspired by"

Adelaide's city jerseys are unreal, have Melbourne just decided they want to get some sales by copying the look?

Bring those titans jerseys back

That's what I thought. The teal away Titans jersey is so nice.

Melbourne wouldn’t have a clue of Adelaide’s design when both clubs came up of their designs in August.

I mean NBL teams are always coping NBA designs KET tho Adelaide and Mu is similar to clippers city

I thought United were doing North Melbourne but I was told the nbl said to United it's retro round not heritage, very confusing.

I mean Mu planned this jersey from last year according to their article

Legit didn't know Brisbane once wore red. Yuck.

Let's not alienate the past - Melb U should 100% leverage Tigers jerseys if they can.

Phoenix should 100% leverage Dragons, Magic, Titans jerseys if they can.

I don’t even care if either leverage Giant, Saints to be totally honest.

Exactly, the Melbourne sides get the advantage of being more creative during Heritage Round and they're doing squat with it.

Imagine an Eastside vs. Westside derby.

I mean our city uni's remind me of the clippers light blue city jerseys. I do like the this heritage uni though.

I assume Breakers and Wildcats announce their heritage jerseys tomorrow since they finally played the postponed Indigenous Round fixture tonight.

Not sure what the Hawks and Taipans are waiting for though.

Melbourne United is trying its hardest to ensure people forget they were ever the Tigers. At least the Tigers retired numbers aren't being used by current players this year however.

The JJs aren't a reincarnation of the Devils but are paying homage to them, not sure why the two Melbourne teams can't do the same.

Meh, so it's just a composite jersey? Do an actual season FFS!

1979 Illawarra Hawks

2010-11 New Zealand Breakers



because modelling is hard.

20??-20?? Cairns Taipans



Cairns don't seem concerned with Heritage Round and are promoting their annual blackout game jersey on social media instead.

I remember the design but don't know which season it pertains to. @GordonG?

South East Melbourne Phoenix

It's better than United's woeful effort but this isn't Region Round.

What SEM could have gone with:

1991 Southern Melbourne Saints



or
1992 South East Melbourne Magic



or
1993 South East Melbourne Magic

Melbourne United could have been rocking these 1985 Melbourne Tigers unis this weekend:

Heritage round proves how bland and uninspiring the majority of the uniforms are todays NBL

cairns current uniform is leaps and bounds ahead of any other uniform

i do like the side panels on the Jack Jumpers this year

and i wish the phoenix used a more distinguishable phoenix in their uniforms

dont mind the 4 stars on the 6ers uniform for each championship

Bring those titans jerseys back

That's what I thought. The teal away Titans jersey is so nice.

Sweathog Saints for SEM would've been great!

Sweathog baby! They were going to take over the world.

@Perthworld

Without asking the office, just checking through my early photos looks like the 2004 season.

Nothing much changed for a couple of seasons after that except the size of the orange stripes, then in 2006 came the snakeskin down the sides.

The problem for SEM is that United has the history of every past Melbourne club including SEM, thus trotting out Magic jerseys for heritage round a few years back.

The problem for United is they insist those clubs are unrelated to United, thus McCarron running out there in #10 during his stint.

It's disappointing but the truth. United basically have to don every past Victorian team. But are their own club not Tigers.

Would have been awesome for SEM wearing Magic or Titans jersey’s. United should have worn Giants uniforms for D-Mack. League didn’t give United enough time to make a heritage jersey, they thought it was retro round not heritage round.

I’m sure next season they will wear North Melbourne uniforms. Just wish the league could ask both Victorian clubs to play a Throwdown in Heritage round. SEM Magic and Melbourne could be Giants or Tigers. They both hated Magic.

How hard would it be for the Phoenix to have a black uniform in the old Magic style with SE Melbourne on it?

Seeing as the Melbourne situation is already a complete mess they should have as much fun with it as possible considering there are so many choices available to them.

Whichever jerseys MEL or SEM elect to wear can be explained as being a tribute to the past clubs of the NBL from Melbourne rather than it being a direct link to the current franchises. Tasmania are doing it right and I wouldn't be surprised if they produced a Launceston version next season.

Yep. And agree 100% Tassie are doing it brilliantly.

Legit didn't know Brisbane once wore red. Yuck.

For some reason this conversation has me wondering where Aaron Grabau is these days

Brisbane are wearing Hawks colours, Hawks are wearing Brisbane colours.

Nothing will mask the disappointment of these sides

@KET Aaron is a policeman here in Cairns. Plays occasionally in one of the social teams, I think.

From Melbourne there were originally Nunawadding and St Kilda in the first NBL season, would love to see variations of those two jerseys used in upcoming seasons.

Half the teams with a heritage jersey (MEL and SEM don't count) haven't worn it in a game yet.

Although Sydney are doing theirs next weekend so I assume it is not being confined to one round despite the name.

Heritage round hasn't started yet...

Good.
