Riders and Giants have both posted retro club logos on social media,
Giants play Riders on March 13th and it’s been suggested that they will play in Retro kits, but this has yet to be confirmed,
I may have to dust off my game worn King Ralph Blalock vest.

A very good marketing idea. The NFL, NBA, NHL & MLB have been doing "Throwback" games and merchandise for years.

It is but then it must be quite expensive to get all those kits made up specially just for one game?

Leicester usually do a few kits a year don't they ?

I'm sure the extra merchandise sales more than covers the extra costs involved.

As long as we don't play as badly as we used to years ago! |

I saw the retro promotion on twitter
Hard to really understand what's happening
Whatever it is I'm sure it's cool though!
Lol
Vince has commented on the twitter

Wonder if Riders will take this really seriously and go back to being sh*t

Haha Neil Wilkerson, I remember him from the Bears days - he was a classic case of little man syndrome. Jumped up little whatsit. Couldn't call a taxi much less a basketball match. 😡

Still don't understand exactly what's going to be different at these games?

Probably old style kits, old music, and old players been introduced?
If it makes the game night experience a bit different it has to be a good thing.

It would be good if they got old faces back to put in an appearance. Maybe look at a particular silverware success from that era, don't know if they have old banners they could bring into focus or something.
