Adidas released the jerseys that will be worn in this years all-star game which will be played February 15th in Madison Square Garden.
The jerseys themselves aren’t flashy by any means and have an old school, throw-back look to them.
“It’s simple and timeless,” said David Cho, who oversees the NBA partnership with Adidas, the league’s official on-court apparel supplier. “It’s a nod to the history, culture and style of New York City basketball.”
Unlike years past, there is no lettering on the front of the jersey, as just the number is shown. The back of the jersey has the number, the players first name above the number, and the last name below the number something that hasn’t been done before.
The west will wear black jersey’s with red numbers and lettering while the east will wear white with blue numbers and lettering.
The jersey will feature five stars containing icons from each of New York City’s five boroughs: the Unisphere (Queens), waves (Staten Island), a checkered taxi pattern (Manhattan), a vinyl record (Bronx) and brownstone bricks (Brooklyn).
All-Star Gear will be on sale to the public in January, one month before the big event in the big apple.
