Nets’ old school uniform ranked among NBA’s 10 best all-time by ESPN

Three of the Nets franchise’s jerseys rank among the NBA’s 74 best of all-time according to ESPN. Two of the jerseys are Brooklyn editions.

When the Nets moved to Brooklyn, they completely changed their look, changing their base colors to black and white. The color scheme is much simpler than what the team had in New Jersey, but sometimes that can be a good thing — as is the case in this instance.

As such, the Nets’ main Brooklyn uniform is featured on ESPN’s list of top 74 jerseys in NBA history, yet there is no iteration from either the Kenny Anderson or Jason Kidd eras in New Jersey.

However, the Nets’ black and white is not the team’s highest-ranked uniform on the list. The black and white jersey is No. 69.

Twenty spots ahead at No. 49 are the jerseys which paid respect to Biggie:

Then there’s one Nets more uniform that makes the list.

Cracking the top-10 at No.  9 all-time is the Stars and Stripes uniform the New York Nets wore in the ABA, which the franchise held onto for a short while in New Jersey after joining the NBA.
