The Denver Nuggets have had some sweet jerseys over the years, and this rainbow skyline one is one that they certainly need to bring back!

The NBA has been experimenting with many new jerseys for different teams for the past couple of years. From Christmas Day jerseys to new shirt jerseys, the league has been trying to profit from expanding into this marketing perspective.

One concept some teams have been implementing is wearing their throwback jerseys. The Denver Nuggets should follow this trend and bring back the rainbow skyline jerseys for a couple game this season.

Call me biased, but I personally believe the Nuggets have one of the best throwback jerseys in the NBA. So it shocks me when the Nuggets don’t wear these during a season, but teams like the Warriors and Heat pull out their old school looks out of the bag once in a while.

Now, I understand that the league has a lot of say in which uniform teams wear for certain games, but I just don’t understand why the Nuggets are not allowed to rock one of their rainbow skyline jerseys once in a while.

The Rainbow

Nowadays, they have to wear a shirt jersey that doesn’t even look like a real basketball jersey, (I don’t personally like any of the shirt jerseys, but that’s just my preference. If I wanted to see t shirts worn for jerseys, I’d just start watching soccer.)

Every true Nuggets fan knows and admires the days of Alex English scoring at will in a stunning blue rainbow skyline jersey, or Dikembe Mutombo gloriously blocking a shot and doing his signature wag while shining in the home white jersey.

Call me old school, nostalgic, living in the past, but I personally would LOVE seeing Denver in the old rainbow skyline for a couple of games this year.

I’m willing to bet a lot of other fans share my sentiment. The rainbow skyline is a classic not just in Nuggets history, but NBA history as well. The throwback jerseys would not only bring a new type of attitude to the team, but they would also aid in Denver’s terrible game attendance attracting some of the older crowd that followed the Nuggets back in the day.

So, I beg you NBA, please let the Denver Nuggets rock the rainbow skyline for a couple games this season.
