The Brooklyn Nets revealed their new Classic Edition uniform, which will honor a fan-favorite design worn during the 1990-91 season. The look features a white and blue gradient pattern on the jerseys and shorts with red piping, numbers and letters. The uniform is a nod to when the Nets called New Jersey home.
"The Nets launched the 1990s with an aesthetic reset, introducing a refreshed logo along with these new uniforms, and the 1990-91 season was the beginning of a memorable era for the franchise. The Nets drafted Derrick Coleman with the first overall pick in 1990, Kenny Anderson second overall in 1991, and in between acquired sharpshooter Drazen Petrovic, sparking a run to three straight playoff appearances. While the “tie-dye” jersey lasted just a single season before the Nets opted to replace it with a more modest royal blue, the logo and jersey lettering they introduced in 1990 carried through the 1996-97 season, defining that era." -nba.com
