In some instances, teams will wear "fauxbacks" : retro designed uniforms harkening back to an era which pre-dates the team itself. For example,  the Tampa Bay Rays , formed in 1998, wore 1979-style baseball uniforms in 2012 (although they have used Tampa Tarpons and Tampa Smokers throwback jerseys), and the Dallas Mavericks have used a 1970s-like basketball uniform since 2004 , despite having been established in 1980. Fauxback can also refer to a retro style "vintage inspired" uniform that has design elements from a uniform from the past but is in itself a completely new and different designdue to cosmetic adjustments . An example of this is the current Buffalo Bills NFL team uniforms that feature helmets resembling the team's white helmets from the 1970s but with a different, more modern looking stripe design.
In some instances, teams will wear "fauxbacks" , which are new retro-style uniforms harkening back to a time that predates the team itself. For example, though the Tampa Bay Rays first took the field in 1998, they have worn 1979-style uniforms on several occasions since introducing them in 2012 , and have also worn pre-1998 jerseys of several defunct local minor league teams, including the Tampa Tarpons and Tampa Smokers . In the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks have occasionally worn a 1970s-style basketball uniform as an alternate look since 2004 despite having been established in 1980. "Fauxback" can also refer to a retro-inspired design which incorporates elements from the team's past into a new design . An example is the current uniform of the NFL's Buffalo Bills, which feature helmets resembling the team's white helmets from the 1970s but with a different, more modern stripe design.
