In today’s NBA, fashion isn’t just a niche topic. For many, it’s become an essential part of following the league and learning more about players’ individual personalities.
But that love of fashion doesn’t stop at what guys wear in the back tunnels when they arrive for games.
Some of the most iconic uniforms in NBA history stand out in the minds of fans as much as the players who once wore them. Those flashy purple and gold Lakers uniforms. Those tradition-laden green Celtics jerseys. And many more.
With a few parameters in place (only jerseys worn at *some* point in the year 2000 or after and labeled home, away or alternate per this handy Basketball Jersey database https://www.bballjerseys.com/ ), a few members of *The Athletic*’s NBA staff decided to look at some of the best uniforms from years past and choose a combination that each team should revive. And if the internet is to be believed, we might actually see a handful of these in the coming months. #sport
