I knew it was going to happen, but it still feels weird seeing Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce holding up their new Brooklyn Nets jerseys. It’s obviously not the first time superstar players have changed teams, and it’s even the second time KG has done so, but here are some more pictures that just don’t look right because they’re not the colors you remember these players wearing:
Joe Montana, Kansas City Chiefs
Mike Piazza, Florida Marlins
Bobby Orr, Chicago Blackhawks
Michael Jordan, Washington Wizards
Jerry Rice, Seattle Seahawks
Ted Williams, Washington Senators
Mark Messier, Vancouver Canucks
Hakeem Olajuwon, Toronto Raptors
Emmitt Smith, Arizona Cardinals
Harmon Killebrew, Kansas City Royals
Brian Leetch, Boston Bruins
Patrick Ewing, Seattle Supersonics
Randy Moss, Tennessee Titans
Babe Ruth, Boston Braves
Chris Chelios, Atlanta Trashers
Shaquille O’Neal, Boston Celtics
Levar Arrington, New York Giants
Frank Thomas, Toronto Blue Jays
Wayne Gretzky, St. Louis Blues
Karl Malone, Los Angeles Lakers
Wow. Remember when those guys played for those teams? Yeah, me neither.
