Basketball On The Internet.

HERITAGE round is upon us, a chance - in most cases - to relive something of our NBL teams' glorious pasts, and in others', acknowledge their support.

Frankly, I love it. Maybe I'm just a nostalgia nut but seeing teams annually trot out a past-revisit, or something else clever and related adds something to the occasion.

A couple of years back, when the 36ers revisited one of their past strips, it was SO much better than the kit they were playing in that season that it became quite a talking point.

Love that Chemist Warehouse has jumped behind it too, Heritage Round tipping off tomorrow in Cairns where the Taipans host Melbourne.

Cairns has gone a different route, using the occasion to recognise the region’s main tourism drawcards - the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef.

The Wet Tropics World Heritage rainforest stretches 500km right past Cairns and is represented on the Taipans’ uniform by the leaf of the fan palm used in the Cairns Regional Council logo.

The Great Barrier Reef was World Heritage listed in 1981, and is representedon by the iconic ‘woven fish’ design, made famous by local indigenous artist Brian Robinson’s installation of five steel woven fish at the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon.

Sydney celebrates the Kings' historic threepeat Championships with a special limited edition black outfit inspired by their 2003-04 uniform.

Kings fans got a look at the strip in Round 10 when they hosted Perth in the last NBL game staged at the Kingdome, the Sydney Entertainment Centre. That's Rhys Carter in full flight in it, above.

Perth had Mike Ellis modelling its heritage strip with current star Jermaine Beal (below), the outfit worn when the Wildcats won the Championship in 1991.

The RedArmy might be the ones who look out of place this time when the Wildcats entertain Sydney. But the 1991 championship uniform was long overdue for a revisit.

Melbourne has come up with an interesting take, a limited edition ‘Victoria’ jersey developed to show its "United" theme by acknowledging all of the state's past NBL competitors.

The design features logos from past Melbourne NBL clubs such as Melbourne Tigers, Eastside Spectres, Geelong Supercats, South Dragons, North Melbourne Giants, Victoria Titans, Southern Melbourne Saints and South East Melbourne Magic.

Chris Goulding and Stephen Holt (pictured) show off the heritage uniform.

“Our vision continues to be to unite basketball across all levels in Victoria and this includes Melbourne NBL clubs before us,” Melbourne CEO Vince Crivelli said.

“Looking back through the years, Victorians have been able to enjoy many cross-town rivalries through the Magic, Giants, Spectres, Titans, Supercats, Dragons and Tigers, and Melbourne United is now continuing the rivalry on a national level.”

Adelaide 36ers fans will get to see the club's 1990s uniform, as modelled by 90s veteran Mike McKay and current starter Anthony Petrie below, live at Titanium Security Arena when the Sixers host New Zealand on February 3.

But it will be on display on the road in Townsville on Saturday, where the Crocodiles will be in their old Townsville Suns strip.

The big question on Illawarra's social media was whether its coaches should revisit their former club blazers, as pictured below.

We don't have long to wait to find out.
