Both the men's and women's teams will be playing in throwback unis at least once this year!

From BGSUFalcons.com:

Jan. 22, 2011 - Women's Basketball vs. Central Michigan, 2:00 p.m.
Throwback/Retro game - BG will wear retro/vintage jerseys

Jan. 29, 2011 - Men's Basketball vs. Eastern Michigan, 3:00 p.m.
Throwback/Retro game - BG will wear retro/vintage jerseys

That is phenomenal. I really feel like they should wear retro uni's for the last home game against Buffalo(right?) too. Hell, I'd be all for retro uni's for the entire home schedule!!!

Retro uni's?

What about retro hair styles? Would love to see Dee Brown shooting the three with a huge afro (looking like Linc from the Mod Squad).

Retro unis? Eeeek! Please, NO. Do you guys remember how much leg those boys used to show back then? There is absolutely no need for anyone to see James Erger in short-shorts and Chuck Taylors. I think I'll pass on that, that you very much.

I'm gonna go out on a limb & guess that they will wear retro jerseys, but the shorts will be the same style and length as the current uniforms. That's what most teams seem to do for these types of games.

Instead of retro games, though, what about Rec-Specs games? I'd go searching for a photo of Kurt Rambis, but I'm too lazy.

That's my guess too. Baseball went with some throwback uniforms this past year and I thought they were cool as hell! I actually like them better than most of our current ones. It would be cool if we wore the ones for basketball this year like the throwback jersey I have of Nate Thumond with "BGU" on it.

What year do you think they'll go back to? I'd like to see the early 80's but that's just me.

Admit it, you just want to see Louis Orr in plaid pants.

The 1960-1961 uniforms would be a nice choice. Close AA the way it opened.

Teams always seem to have the modern twist with the baggy shorts rather than the "high dividers" of years past (if you wore them you know what I mean). Sometimes it's tough to tell if teams are wearing retro jerseys or a new style when you combine old shirts with new shorts.

And don't forget the John Weinert jacket!

I have two basketball heroes... Michael Jordan and Kurt Rambis.

I'd love to see the unis with 'BGU' on the front (not sure what year or years that might be).
