A throwback jersey is a jersey worn in another era like people have previously said, also they are released so idiots can spend hundreds of dollars on a piece of athletic apparel, mostly old bald white guys that have never played sports and people that watch 106 park everyday that think rap videos represent real life.

Answer 3

Throwback uniforms and jerseys are one-time or limited-time variations on a sports team's uniforms styled to resemble uniforms from that team's past. First promoted in baseball in the 1980s, they have proven popular in all major pro and college sports in the USA, not only with fans, but with the teams' marketing and merchandising departments.

Throwbacks were first popularized in Major League Baseball, where teams not only wore renditions of their past styles, but also tributes to defunct minor league and ***** League baseball teams as well. Often, the games where teams will wear throwbacks are promoted as "Turn Back The Clock Nights".

Throwbacks also make occasional appearances in college football games, National Hockey League games, and in National Basketball Association games.
