Yeah, it sucks, but I also get it. They have to clear a lot of that in advance, and with Adidas scaling down and Fanatics scaling up, if the plan wasn't originally to go with the throwbacks this year, there probably wasn't enough time to pivot after they realized their mistake.Oh come the f*** on, I'm pretty sure they were even explicitly saying the new reds were dead and the OGs would be the alt this year at one point. What bullcrap. Seriously, just make the originals the home jersey again, but if you're not going to do that, at least give them to us as the alt.
That said, the article made very strong hints that the throwbacks, or at least something based off them, will be the primary home jersey in 2025-26 when Fanatics will allow us to introduce something new.
