I know this comment is way late, so hopefully you will see it- Topps did that because they thought kids would be confused to see multiple people with the same name on their jersey, or something along those lines...yes, the jersey is on backwards. I remember reading about it in Beckett sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Does Riley have his uniform on backwards? Or did the Lakers actually make uni's with the player name on the front? I've never seen that before.
