Tickle me pink and call me Walter. As outlets continue to lower prices for the holidays, it’s a great time to look at retro NBA hardwood classics. You know, the vintage NBA gear you never knew you even wanted, but will now demand.
Before we get going, a solid reminder that many of these items are limited, and with sales going on, retro NBA hardwood classics are flying off the shelves rather fast. Also a kind reminder about rankings, they’re subjective. My taste in things might not be yours, so don’t hate me! I love you, after all.
15 C-Webb Bullets Jersey
Now known as the Washington Wizards, not only were the Bullets one of the franchise’s with the best gear (PC stuff aside), Chris Webber had a few stellar seasons with the squad.

I love this hat. I have children, and yet, I might love this hat more than them.

12 Minneapolis Lakers Plaque
For any die-hard Lakers fans, even those in Los Angeles, this is worth a space on your wall.

11 Nets Head Coach Pull Over Hoodie
The color design is a bit outdated, but it somehow makes this even cooler.

A legend lost to time, Drazen was such a huge deal before his untimely passing.

8 Vince Carter New Jersey Nets Throwback
He might have started with the Raptors, but Vince Carter truly made his bones with the New Jersey Nets.
Also, if we’re power ranking Nets, we’re still putting New Jersey ahead of Brooklyn at this point, right?

I mean, there really isn’t a need for any other selling point. Just click on the link below, spend the few bucks, and wait for this bad boy to show up in your mailbox.

6 San Diego Clippers Shirt
If I am being honest, I am today-years-old when I found out that the Clippers once called San Diego home.
Given the Battle for LA nonsense, wouldn’t be be neat of the Clippers called San Diego home again? Even if it were for a handful of games per season, I believe it would be relatively awesome.

5 San Fransisco Warriors Hat
So, this is a weird one, as it’s a vintage NBA item that one day might be considered more current. Golden State — which is, you know, not an actual city — currently calls Oakland home, but there’s often rumors of the team moving its whereabouts.
Maybe it’ll be San Fran, making this hat both a cool retro gift as well as one you can rock in the future.

4 Shawn Kemp Hat
Obviously subjective, I usually don’t love hats with over the top designs, but this Shawn Kemp one just feels right. It makes me all warm and tingly on the inside.

Sonics gear is always tight and this windbreaker is no different.

2 Vancouver Grizzlies Pullover Hoodie
Similar to the Sonics, old Grizzlies gear is the stuff of legend. What makes this one especially cool, specifically in comparison to shorts or uniforms, is you can rock this in public without getting a weird side-eye.

1 Shareef Abdur-Rahim Vancouver Grizzlies
The Man. The myth. The uniform.
Don’t overthink it. Shareef was slightly ahead of his time, and would likely be a top player in the NBA had his brilliance not come to early. Spend the few bucks and make someone in your life insanely happy — or confused if they don’t remember him. But hey, that’s semantics.
