I actually in my very first games wore a football shirt (they had a front pocket) and never bought an actual basketball shirt that year. Never looked back from there.

It was a while before they were prohibited. I recall working with a guy, somewhere around 2000, who was still wearing one. It had been long enough that he was the only one.
