The asymmetrical design of the jersey is a classic, who would have thought that the design came from an intern who was not even paid!

15. 1989-present San Antonio Spurs Jersey
The Spurs have not changed their jersey style for almost thirty years, for no other reason than that the black and white Spurs jersey is too much in line with the temperament of the team.
