The Atlanta Hawks have revealed the team’s newest City Edition uniform. The upcoming uniform has been a three year process in the making that will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with the letters MLK across the chest. The new City Edition uniform will be the first time in NBA history we see a person’s initials featured on the front of a jersey. The uniform will be a black, gold and white color combo that was inspired by churches that Dr. King preached out. There are 22 stars down the side of the shorts to honor the student Freedom Fighters. A unique detail that appears below the Nike Jock Tag on the jersey is Dr. King’s signature. The team will wear the special City Edition uniforms for select games in the upcoming season and will have a special court to match the uniforms.
