The National Basketball Association and Nike have unveiled each and every one of the new City Edition uniforms for the 2022-23 season. The City Edition program debuted in 2017-18 as a chance for teams to go off the board, throw away any rules regarding their team’s long-used, loved, and established branding guidelines, and pay tribute/respects to whatever they wanted to (with most clubs choosing to focus on their city or region).

The Pistons ones are really growing on me. I knew it was for St. Cecilia’s but was unsure at first, but the more I look at it the more I love it.
Also, good job boys, we found the CLT.
Dubs one is super unique, because I’ve never quite seen a picture on a jersey before. It’s like someone went on PowerPoint, got a drawing of a flower and just dropped it on the page.
Looks good tho.
Houston’s are nice. really like those
Ours are much better than those awful banner jerseys at least
I really like the Spurs, Knicks, Suns jerseys
Warriors one is awful
Why is OKC determined to have the most bland jerseys in existence?
That Golden State tho 👀
I really like the Spurs one.
Ransom note miami heat
Spurs and Philly are great. Nola might be cool depending on the shorts.
Suns and Spurs absolutely nailed this one. But for the most part I do wish Nike would stop making new ones every year when they can’t come up with a better design. Our orange ones weren’t spectacular but still better than these.
I hate how much I like the Celtics jersey.
What’s the connection of yellow roses to the Warriors?
No hate tho
Some teams got city editions. Others got shitty editions.
They dropped a big ass ball on the LA jerseys. Wtf is that Laker uni?
OKC with dogshit jerseys as always
PDX carpet let’s go
The pelicans one is better knowing it’s purple, not navy.
But I would much prefer a vibrant purple to avoid any confusion. Might just have to see it in person to judge it. But like much of our alternate/city jerseys it’s always close to being great, but stuck in pretty good.
Pacers one is BRUTAL
I really like our Fiesta jerseys. I’d be upset they last a season but it means the awful Statement jerseys go as well, which is an absolute win IMO
They really thought it was a good idea to put CLT on the front of a jersey, eh?
Charlotte dropping the clit jersey this year I see.
Still can’t believe that wolves jersey is real
Black versions of the mint jerseys? CLT instead of CHA? We’re eating.
Like those Milwaukee and Celtics jerseys
Warriors one is interesting at the very least
Miami’s looks like a ransom letter. I loved the Vice city jerseys they had 2 or 3 years ago before the gradient ones
95 percent of these are just pathetic. Ironically, the one that is great isn’t a City edition at all (Jazz).
About time they put CLT in the jerseys
I AM THE CLT COMMANDER
Also the Thunder, much like their roster, need to tear it all down & start over
Man, the Miami one went from cool 80s jersey to 90s and I hate it
Jazz win by not participating. Because judging from their actual new jerseys this year, a city edition would have been horrendous
Bucks is by far their best blue jersey. Still prefer cream over it, but blue is a also a key Milwaukee color.
Edit: by best I mean best of their blue jerseys.
So we just going to ignore that “jazz” isn’t a city?
Seriously who at Nike is mad at us? The Ransom Note is back. There was that piss yellow alt we had. Yeah the idea that “it’s random for each player” is neat IN CONCEPT, but they’re still hideous.
Someone should have ran the Charlotte on through the “14 year old” filter because CLT on the front is yeaaaah.
Lot of good ones, but one that might be underrated: Portland. Highly specific inspiration, but fire execution.
OKC city jerseys yet another example of why they should have stayed in Seattle
Whoever designed the TWolves one needs to be fired out of a cannon
Sixers jersey might grow on me but the spectrum ones last year were fantastic and they should’ve kept those
We’ve been banging on about the Cherry Blossom jerseys for **YEARS** and we finally got them for our boy Rui! 🇯🇵
jesus those warriors jerseys are abysmal.
grizzlies jerseys are insane though i love that
I like ours very Atlanta.
Dallas should use that style permanently IMO.
Boston, Atlanta, Memphis, Portland, Spurs, and LAC are all v clean.
I absolutely can’t stand the “its not a TEAM color” crowd. I get it to each their own and thats fine. But thats the point of the city jerseys, it highlights things in the city and not of the team. I like learning something new and different about a city’s history or something unique about the city through something as simple as a jersey. Not all of them have they meaning but its cool that most of them do.
Why the Hornets one says Clit?
Charlotte Clits?
Would love to get the Nets, Blazers and Wizards city edition jerseys
The phoenix one is straight up hideous
• Love the Hawks lowkey using the font from “Atlanta.” Sucks that show is coming to an end.
• Best Celtics city jersey they’ve done
• Goddamn that Bucks jersey is clean
• Clit
• Someone might want to tell the Spurs and Jazz that White and Bogdanovic aren’t on their teams anymore
Atlanta, Washington, jazz, and have to admit, warriors are probably my favorites. Rockets is really good too but I feel like they’ve done the exact same thing before
