Penn State Men’s Basketball has revealed their new white uniforms. Across the chest is the Penn State wordmark in navy blue with matching numbers. The sides of the jersey and shorts feature a solid stripe down the sides that leads into the Nittany lion head logo on the shorts. The belt design features the keystone PSU logo front and center. The look keeps with the minimal tradition that is Penn State.
The Brooklyn Nets are rewinding the clocks and bringing back their Stars and Stripes threads for their 2022-23 Classic Edition Uniform. The look was worn 50 years ago and features the red NETS wordmark across the chest with the signature blue stripe that has three white stars straddled by two red stripes on the left side. The pattern runs down into the shorts to continue the design.
“The revival of the Stars and Stripes uniform is exciting for both the longtime supporters of the Nets and an entirely new generation of fans. This uniform was immensely popular and has become synonymous with one of the greatest periods in Nets history, and we’re looking forward to seeing its return to the hardwood in front of our fans in Brooklyn this season.” -Andrew Karson, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing
The Phoenix Suns are celebrating their 30th anniversary. The team is bringing back their classic sunburst purple uniforms. The iconic jerseys feature the streaking basketball sun across the jersey.
“This is one of the most iconic uniforms in all of sports. They mark an era of fantastic success for the franchise during a time of significant growth for the NBA as a whole. Fans have been looking to see these return to the court for a long time and the 30th anniversary of that historic season is the perfect time to bring them back.”-Chris Grasha Phoenix Suns creative director
We will see the suns wear the retro uniform throughout the 2022-23 season in celebration of their 30th anniversary.
The Milwaukee Bucks are bringing back their purple threads as this year’s Classic Edition Uniform. The classic look brings back the team’s iconic purple and green threads that were worn during the 1990’s and early 2000’s. The look honors the dawn of the franchise’s Big 3 era, the Bucks’ “Light It Up” that became synonymous with Ray Allen, Sam Cassell and Glenn Robinson. In addition to the purple base color, the uniforms also feature the team’s logo from that era on the shorts and the silver “BUCKS” wordmark across the chest with green and white trim around the whole uniform.
The Bucks will have a new City Edition uniform that will be unveiled later this year.
The Washington Wizards have revealed the team’s Classic Edition Uniform as part of their campaign for the 2022-23 season, celebrating the 25th anniversary since rebranding from the Bullets to the Wizards name in 1997. The Classic Edition threads go back to the Wizards white, blue and bronze colors. Across the chest is the swooping Wizards wordmark with the crescent moon dotting the I. Running down the left side of the jersey and shorts is a thick blue stripe with bronze and black piping. The finishing touch comes on the right leg of the shorts with the original Wizards primary logo.
We will also see the Wizards reveal a newly-designed court with the same style to be used with the Classic Edition jerseys during select games throughout the season.
The Los Angles Lakers will have a new Classic Edition uniform this coming season. The Lakers will honor their 75th season with a recreation of the team’s first-ever home uniform. The uni features the blue and gold coloring from the Minneapolis Lakers ‘50s era. On the chest of the jersey the Lakers wordmark is in the same font as the original Minneapolis font. The shorts have a quintessential cutout on either side. The finishing touch comes with the old school Nike logo on the right chest.
The Kentucky Wildcats Men’s Basketball team has revealed their three new uniforms they will wear when they head down to the Bahamas. The three different uniforms the Wildcats can choose from are a traditional white jersey with Kentucky arched across the front, a blue jersey with “Kentucky” in vintage white script, and a black alternate with “Wildcats” across the front. We see a nice touch with a palm trees on subtly placed on each uniform.
The Golden State Warriors have revealed their new Statement Edition uniform. The navy blue uniform has yellow trim, letters and numbers. Across the chest of the jersey is “Golden State” for the first time since 1975. The threads were released exactly 51 years after the franchise changed its name from the San Francisco Warriors to the Golden State Warriors on Aug. 2, 1971.
The Warriors are set to release a new Classic Edition uniform on 8/8 and a new City Edition uniform on 11/10.
The Milwaukee Bucks have unveiled the team’s new 2022-23 “Fear The Deer” Statement Edition uniform. This is the third edition of the “Fear The Deer” series of the Bucks. The new design features a black base color with cream antlers running up the sides of rite shorts and jersey. The look is meant to give the appearance of a buck with its head down charging toward an opponent. The trim around the neck and arms is in the Bucks colors; green, blue and cream.
The Bucks will also be introducing a new Classic Edition and City Edition uniform later this year.
The Detroit Pistons are bringing back their teal uniform as their Classic Edition Uniform. The front of the jersey will feature the iconic flaming horse logo. The uniform is back in its original form for a one year run.
“We felt like this was the right time, and I think the team that we’re gonna put on the court this year is going to be fun and exciting to watch. And if you think of some of the players that wore this uniform in the late 90s and early 2000s from Grant Hill to Ben Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse and Lindsey Hunter, you’ve got some personalities and players on our team that are somewhat reflective or emblematic of some of those guys that played then.” -Pistons’ chief business officer Mike Zavodsky
