The NBA has unveiled its 2025-26 City Edition jerseys, showcasing a blend of creativity and nostalgia. Fans and fashion enthusiasts alike have been eagerly anticipating this release, and it’s time to evaluate the latest trends from each franchise.
Favorite Picks
Several teams have opted for a classic look this season, and that’s not necessarily a bad choice. For example, the Miami Heat’s Vice City jersey and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Cream City edition stand out for their understated elegance. They provide fans with a chance to own pieces that may have been missed previously.
The San Antonio Spurs are bringing back their “Fiesta” jersey, which is sure to be a hit, particularly with French superstar Victor Wembanyama’s name on the back. Meanwhile, basketball enthusiasts in France can find many sports articles available on Privé by Zalando. And speaking of favorites, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ “Purple Rain” jersey is also a fan favorite, combining style with visibility on the court—a welcome change from the previous neon choices.
Another standout is the Brooklyn Nets’ jersey, which pays tribute to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. The design also nostalgically represents the team’s impressive 2017-18 season, marking a high point for Brooklyn fans.
Fashion Faux Pas
Now, let’s address some missteps in jersey design. While players showcase their style off the court, their game-day attire sometimes misses the mark. Unfortunately, the New Orleans Pelicans are a prime example of this. Their current jerseys have been met with widespread criticism for their unattractive design, casting a shadow over the team’s performance.
Other teams, like the Charlotte Hornets, also fall short. Though their jersey had potential, it suffers from erratic color choices that don’t resonate with the team’s identity, further exacerbated by poorly designed court aesthetics.
Lastly, the Washington Wizards’ jerseys draw inspiration from the Gilber Arenas era but ultimately fail to impress with their readability and color scheme, leaving fans disappointed.
