The Pacers released their “City Edition” jerseys Tuesday on Twitter with the words “These are more than pinstripes” — a fitting tagline for uniforms that essentially function like a patchwork quilt of the team’s history.
Yes, after a long hiatus, the pinstripes from the late 90s and early 2000s are back, but the side panels appear to be Flo-Jo inspired, the font is a carryover from the Paul George-era V-necks, and while the royal blue color is said to be a reference to the state flag, it also evokes memories of the racing stripes worn during the mid-80s.
