Aside from their recent stretch of four titles in eight seasons, arguably the Golden State Warriors’ most iconic run of the past 40 years was spearheaded by Tim Hardaway Sr., Chris Mullin, and Mitch Richmond during the early 1990s, when they made the playoff three times in four seasons and nabbed a Western Conference Semifinals appearance in 1990-91.
To honor the franchise’s Run TMC Era, the Warriors debuted throwback uniforms for the upcoming season on Monday with help from Mullin himself. From 1988-89 through 1992-93, Mullin made five consecutive All-Star teams and four All-NBA berths with the Warriors and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010.

Accompanying these slick kits is a throwback court as well for whenever Golden State opts to turn back the clock.
Can't wait for #DubNation to see the court in person very soon!@Rakuten || Classic Edition https://t.co/J1BzO6j3Lf pic.twitter.com/T3ZzLuiS3l

The Warriors have some pretty rad jerseys throughout their history and these are near the top. That center court logo is absolutely sick and the nostalgia associated with Run TMC’s electric play-style affords these retro jerseys quite the positive connotation.
Among the Los Angeles Lakers simplifying their looks a few years back, the Phoenix Suns‘ gorgeous “The Valley” jerseys, and Golden State’s Run TMC look, the Pacific Division is crushing the jersey game. Let’s just get the Sacramento Kings to bring back their early 2000s jerseys and we’ll really be cooking with gas.
