Throwback Jersey Craze Here to Stay!

The throwback jersey lineup these days includes high school and college jerseys of current NBA and NFL stars. Entire lines have been developed for the retired NBA teams of the past.

This is all on top of the new throwback apparel designs for the four major league sports. New retro jerseys have been brought to market highlighting new players, new vintage uniforms, as well as, new categories and colors.

The throwback jersey industry is continually evolving. New retro styles and throwback designs are being introduced every year. Manufacturers are attempting to keep up with the demanding fashion trends that drive the jersey and apparel market.

New lines making their debut recently are:

•  A collection of retro East / West jerseys to be worn at the NBA All Star game
•  A USFL throwback jersey collection
•  Women’s throwback apparel with feminine designs in pastel colors
•  A line of throwback jerseys with matching sports shoes

  The throwback craze changes intensity as the fashion trends change from year-to-year. However, as the fickle Hip-Hop crowd seeks out a new look, avid sports fans step in and drive jersey sales higher. This balancing act will most likely continue for the next few years.

Superstars from the hip-hop scene and professional sports ranks created the retro / throwback craze we are presently experiencing. Will the hip-hop crowd continue to support the throwback trend as a fashion statement?

 The answer is not that simple. A jumbled blend of music, entertainers, and sports superstars has blurred the lines of where retro fashion ends and team support begins.

But based on reported retro jersey sales, the throwback craze has shown no signs of slowing yet.
