1) 1995 Away

Just let the nostalgia seep in. No you didn’t like these jerseys as much when they first came out, neither did I. However, the further in time we get away from them, the more lovable they seem. The uniform is so 90’s it hurts, but that’s the charm.

The 1995 jersey was a lesson in maximalism – anything that could be put on a jersey was: White tears as pin stripes, edgy asymmetric lettering, Raptor claw on one side of the shorts, a raptor biting the ‘T’ of the ‘TR’ on the other side, all rounded up with the giant Raptor dribbling a basketball in the middle of the jersey.

It’s the complete opposite of what jersey’s are like now, which may be the key to its recent appreciation.
