The Nuggets have been trendsetters since their inception, so it is fitting three of the franchise’s jerseys have been ranked among the top 74 NBA jerseys of all-time by ESPN.
Denver’s Blue Dazzle (2003-08), Navy Cursive (2008-12) and Rainbow Skyline jerseys (1985-93) were ranked No. 67, No. 51, and No. 5 respectively.
Here’s what the outlet had to say about each:
“67. Denver Nuggets (Blue Dazzle)

This is one of those jerseys that just screams 2000s. The dazzle cloth version stands out above the set that just followed it. -- Lopez51. Denver Nuggets (Navy cursive)
Seasons worn: 2008-12Notable players in this look: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Ty Lawson, Nene

In the 1980s, when the Denver Nuggets introduced new uniforms, they were statistically the fastest team in the NBA. High tempo defined Mile High Basketball, and the franchise even took on-court style to new heights with jerseys featuring a rainbow skyline theme. – Dodson”
