DALLAS MAVERICKS BRING BACK CLASSIC GREEN UNIFORM
As part of their 45th anniversary celebration, the Dallas Mavericks are throwing it back to one of the most beloved looks in franchise history, the green uniforms worn from 1981 to 1991. These retro jerseys will make their return as part of the team’s Hardwood Classics collection for select games this season.
The Mavs entered the NBA in 1980, debuting with a traditional color scheme: white uniforms at home and blue road uniforms with green trim. But when the team flipped the design for the 1981 season opting for green road jerseys with blue and white accents the look became an instant classic and a lasting part of Mavericks history.
The new Hardwood Classic edition stays true to the original 1980s design with a few modern updates. The green base is complemented by a royal blue and white striping pattern around the neck and arm openings. Across the chest, DALLAS appears in a bold white script with blue and white outlines, while the numbers below mirror that same double-bordered style in a rounded vintage font.
On the back, the name and number maintain the clean white treatment, sitting beneath the NBA logo. The cut follows Nike’s current design chassis, giving the jersey a slightly modern silhouette while maintaining its old-school charm.
The retro vibe carries through the matching green shorts, which feature a thick blue/white/blue waistband and side panel striping to match the jersey. At the hem, the same tri-color stripe pattern wraps around the base. The throwback “Cowboy M” logo a hallmark of early Mavericks branding appears proudly on the left leg, completing the nostalgic design.
With the return of these green classics, the Mavericks are not just honoring their history they’re reminding fans why these uniforms have remained one of the cleanest, most iconic looks in franchise history.
