The Brooklyn Nets revealed their 2019-20 Statement Edition Uniform. The team collaborated with iconic Brooklyn-based artist Eric Haze to create this year’s look. The uniform comes in with a ‘concrete’ gray colorway base that features a hand-drawn font across the chest of the jersey spelling out “BKLYN”. Haze’s hand-drawn font is also found on the left side of the jersey featuring a contemporary twist on one of the team’s most iconic throwback looks, along with a herringbone pattern underneath. On the shorts “NETS” runs down the left side of the shorts, along with the team’s secondary logo siting on the right thigh.
We will see the Nets take the court in the new uniforms on Friday, Nov. 1 vs. the Rockets, as well as 21 other times this coming season.
The St. Blues organization received their Stanley Cup Championship Rings. The ring is made with 14-karat white and yellow gold celebrating the team’s journey and paying homage to the team, their fans and their city. Sixteen custom-cut blue sapphires are arranged on the ring’s top, forming the Blue Note logo and signify the number of postseason victories earned along their path to the Stanley Cup. Forty five pavé-set diamonds make up the Stanley Cup below the logo with thirty more diamonds surrounding the Cup. All seventy five diamonds are a representation of the seventy five goals scored by the St. Louis Blues during the 2019 postseason. To complete the top of the ring one hundred and fifteen diamonds are set to create a cascading waterfall effect.
The left side of the ring pays tribute to the connection between players and fans, with both being featured celebrating with the Cup, along with players names and numbers set in diamonds. The right side of the ring honors the city of St. Louis with music notes, the St. Louis Arch, and the scene taken from an overhead blimp during the city's championship parade celebration. A mix of seventy six diamonds and fifteen sapphires represent the massive crowd turnout that surrounded the stage, celebrating the historic victory.
"The Blues journey to become Stanley Cup Champions for the first time was nothing short of extraordinary, and we wanted to honor that story through an equally incredible ring. This ring celebrates not only the Blues but also the city of St. Louis and the dedicated fans that have supported them. We strived to capture that relationship in design of the ring; using diamonds and genuine sapphires, the story of the Blues and St. Louis comes to life through the ring's unique details and intricate storytelling." - Chris Poitras, VP and COO of Jostens Professional Sports Division

On the front of the waistband of the shorts is the team’s partial primary logo. On the sides of the shorts and jersey we see a new stinger design used as stripes. With the teams silhouette logo living above the stinger stripes on the shorts.
“These Statement uniforms represent a design change to the main holding area of the jersey. While there’s certainly details that are overt throughout the bold statement of the three letters, it’s a commitment to our fans saying, ‘This is something you can take pride in.

A solid orange strip will run down the middle, while the block “F” in the circle decal will be on either side, and to finish it off the CFB 150 logo will be on the bumper of the helmet. The blue jersey is from when Steve Spurrier played quarterback for the Gators and won the Heisman Trophy in 1966. The jersey features a bold over the shoulder orange & white stripe. This marks the first time we will see the Gators in this jersey since the game on Sept. 30, 2006. The pants will be a white base with an orange and blue stripe down each leg.
