The San Antonio Spurs have lifted the veil on their 2023-24 Nike NBA City Edition uniforms and court, paying homage to the illustrious Hemisfair, a significant landmark and the site of the 1968 World's Fair.
The newly unveiled Nike NBA City Edition uniform design speaks volumes, channeling the ambiance of the late 1960s. The uniform features a white base where the San Antonio wordmark gracefully arches across the chest, accompanied by elegant details in shades of chocolate brown and saffron orange along the arm trims. Taking cues from the earth-toned fashion trends of that era, the color scheme continues down the sides of the shorts, showcasing terracotta pink, sunflower yellow, and succulent green accents. Embracing the city's history, the lower left side of the shorts showcases a symbolic tribute to the Tower of Americas, an iconic structure erected for the 1968 World's Fair. Each jersey includes the Self Financial (Self) logo as part of a multi-year partnership.
The corresponding City Edition court is a visual delight that complements the thematic color palette of the uniforms. Sporting a vibrant pop of succulent green around the perimeter and the key bordered with color blocks of saffron orange and rich chocolate brown, the court stands as a testament to the Hemisfair. At its center, the Hemisfair logo takes pride of place, symbolizing the heart of the city the Spurs call home. The phrase "Viva Spurs" is a timeless mantra, intricately embedded into the court design, as well as featured above the jock tag on each jersey, a nod to the team's enduring legacy.
Becky Kimbro, Senior Vice President of Brand Engagement, shared her insight, expressing how the uniform design is a homage to HemisFair's influence, underscoring the significant role it played in placing San Antonio on the world stage and fostering its multicultural identity. The late 1960s, in her words, epitomized the growth and vibrancy that resonates within both the community and the team.
Andres Andujar, CEO of Hemisfair, highlighted the importance of incorporating Hemisfair into the City Edition jersey and court, stating that it serves as a symbol of heritage and shared history, showcasing the deep ties between the beloved team and the vibrant city.
The first unveiling of the City Edition uniforms will be during the November 10 game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, followed by the court debut on November 20 against the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the commencement of the 10 City Nights, presented by Michelob ULTRA, throughout the 2023-24 season.
The latest City Edition uniform by the Chicago Bulls for the 2023-24 season draws its inspiration from a rich and significant piece of the team’s history: the iconic Chicago Stadium. This remarkable arena holds an irreplaceable spot in the hearts of Bulls fans, especially during the glorious period of the franchise's three consecutive NBA Championships from 1991 to 1993.
Chicago Stadium first opened its doors in 1929, becoming the proud host of the Bulls from the team's inception in 1967. This historic arena, known for its revolutionary architectural design, was ahead of its time. Boasting steel trusses that spanned a jaw-dropping 266 feet, it allowed each fan in attendance an unobstructed view, providing an unparalleled experience in sports spectatorship.
What truly set Chicago Stadium apart was its distinctive three-tier bowl structure. The second and third layers were ingeniously built directly above the first, creating an architectural wonder that, as the lore goes, left visiting teams in a state of awe, almost like entering a coliseum where the atmosphere was electric and the views, almost dizzying.
The Bulls' City Edition uniform and the accompanying 1966 retail collection are tributes to the legacy and nostalgia that the iconic Chicago Stadium embodies. Designed with intricate and meaningful details, the uniform reflects the spirit and unique architectural features of the Bulls' original home. The new uniform serves as a touching tribute to the memories created at the stadium and the significant impact it had on the team's success and the city's sports culture.
Stay tuned as the Bulls prepare to bring the echoes of Chicago Stadium back to life in their latest City Edition uniform, transporting fans to a cherished era that defined the heart and soul of the franchise.
The Washington Wizards have launched their eagerly awaited City Edition uniforms, honoring the rich history and legacy of the District of Columbia. The new jersey reflects the iconic Boundary Stones that played a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s capital.
“We are excited to share an untold chapter of our city's history through our NBA City Edition jersey,” remarked Monumental Sports & Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer, Hunter Lochmann. “The inspiration from George Washington and the influence of Benjamin Banneker, whose legacy is intertwined with D.C.'s institutions, embodies the essence of our city. The Boundary Stones signify the foundation of the District and its rich historical heritage.”
In 1790, the Resident Act allowed President George Washington to establish a 10 x 10-mile area donated by Maryland and Virginia, forming the foundation for the nation's capital. Commencing in 1791, a team led by Andrew Ellicott, including the renowned mathematician and astronomer Benjamin Banneker, placed forty stone markers outlining the original boundary of Washington, D.C. These stones were the first monuments procured by the United States government, symbolizing the nascent capital.
The 2023-24 Wizards City Edition jersey pays homage to history, adorned in black, anthracite, and red accents, reflecting the patina design around the jersey's trim. The color palette of copper, teal, and red represents the amalgamation of old and new, with copper and teal patina patterns symbolizing the oxidized metal fences shielding the stones and the natural flora enveloping these historical markers.
The District of Columbia emblazoned across the chest adopts the Old English Blackletter font, reminiscent of 18th-century maps. The shorts' buckle bears the acronym "DMV" in the same font style, honoring the Wizards as the pioneering local franchise to integrate DMV in a jersey.
The red stars and piping link the Boundary Stone uniform to the prevailing Wizards jerseys. The design forms a diamond shape across the uniform, an allusion to the original 10 x 10-mile boundary shape of the capital. Six red stars, three representing Washington's Coats of Arms and three paying homage to Banneker's pivotal role in surveying the first stone, are featured alongside six teal north star compasses, symbolizing the survey instruments used.
The Wizards' City Edition logo is reimagined in the City Edition colorway, integrating the Washington Monument with a Boundary Stone. The shorts sport six red stars encircling the logo, honoring the District of Columbia flag.
Accompanying the uniform, a thematic court, inspired by the Boundary Stone, will be unveiled during non-In-Season Tournament games. This court, along with branded visuals throughout the arena, will debut on Friday, Dec. 15, when the Wizards face the Indiana Pacers.
The Wizards' new Boundary Stone-themed uniform and court showcase a deep respect for history, a celebration of local identity, and a pledge to preserve and honor the District's rich heritage within the context of the NBA.
The Miami Heat have pulled back the curtain on their latest City Edition uniform, not just as a design but as a reflection of an ethos ingrained within the organization since its inception. The jersey encapsulates the battle-tested, homegrown foundation laid in 1995—a code of competitive excellence that has steered the Heat's success, even before their first banner or jersey graced the rafters.
While the term "HEAT Culture" traces its roots back to 1995, it wasn't until 2016 that it cemented its place within the HEAT brand. Originally displayed on tees and signage, the gritty, war-torn graphic has evolved into a new version—custom-created for this uniform. This distinct feature, coupled with the "HEAT" mark, solidifies it as an exclusive emblem of the team's identity.
A vibrant, vivid red, a fresh addition to the HEAT color palette, takes center stage as a bold accent on the jersey. It adorns the numbers, collar, piping, and various branding elements, complementing the new gym-style number set. The anthem, etched onto the jersey's jocktag, echoes the enduring standard set by HEAT President and former Head Coach Pat Riley: "The Main Thing is The Main Thing." It encapsulates the team's unwavering commitment to every aspect—from training to nutrition—all dedicated to the ultimate goal of clinching a Championship.
For the first time in HEAT history, each player's shorts will feature their individual number. While jerseys might change throughout the heat of competition, the shorts, serving as a constant link from start to finish, hold significance. Symbolizing the essence of HEAT Culture, this addition mirrors the players' commitment to the team's ethos.
Following the tradition of HEAT City Edition uniforms, the left leg of the shorts boasts a reimagined "ball and flame" logo, bearing the same distressed texture seen in the jersey wordmark. On the right side, "The Mantra" takes center stage—a profound testament to the team's enduring pledge to be the "hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, meanest, nastiest team in the NBA," set against a striking red-black gradient.
The latest City Edition uniform serves not just as a garment but as a powerful symbol of the enduring commitment, unwavering ethos, and unyielding determination that defines the essence of HEAT Culture—a relentless pursuit of excellence that only the Miami Heat can genuinely claim.

These nostalgic jerseys are set to make their debut during the Terps' highly anticipated game against Michigan State at the XFINITY Center on January 21, 2024, which will be nationally televised on CBS.

These classic designs incorporate red lettering and numerals outlined in black, while the trim adorning the arms, neck, and shorts reflect the traditional Maryland colors of red, black, and white. Furthermore, similar to the new main uniform set for the 2023-24 season, the Under Armour logo graces the center neckline, allowing space for additional patches, including the new Graduate patch, to be prominently displayed. The interlocking UM logo is proudly showcased on the front leg of the shorts and on the back of the jersey above the players' last names.
Lefty Driesell, a revered figure in college basketball, coached the Terps from 1969 to 1986, leaving an indelible mark on the program. His remarkable tenure, which witnessed a 348-159 overall record, stands as the second-best in program history, trailing only the esteemed Gary Williams. Under Driesell's leadership, Maryland achieved monumental success, reaching eight NCAA Tournaments (1973, 1975, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986), clinching the 1972 NIT Championship title, securing the 1984 ACC Tournament Championship, and capturing a pair of ACC Regular Season titles. Moreover, the Terps made six appearances in the ACC title game during Driesell's tenure. Notably, Maryland was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally in the AP rankings for four consecutive years from 1972 to 1976, marking a significant era of success and acclaim for the program.
The throwback jerseys and the upcoming tribute game against Michigan State aim to honor the legacy and accomplishments of Lefty Driesell, providing an opportunity for fans, players, and the basketball community to celebrate the golden era of Maryland basketball and the profound impact of one of its most legendary coaches.
