The 1990’s brought a load of generation-defining things. From Bill Nye, The Mighty Ducks and Supermarket Sweep to Oregon Trail, Dunkaroos and Jumanji, the colorful farewell to the 20th century introduced some amazing products and trends, including incredible NBA jerseys.
There is no denying that NBA jerseys from the 90’s were eccentric and while not all the best jerseys in league history came from this decade, a heavy majority of the most bold and boundary-pushing designs were being worn by the game’s best during this period. And thanks to nostalgic apparel company Mitchell & Ness, we’re still able to enjoy those unique 90’s NBA jerseys and dozens from other decades.
