The Barclays Center was finally opened last night with Jay Z’s first performance in the new arena, and along with the official opening came the debut of the new Brooklyn Nets away jersey. The home jersey was revealed a short time later on the internet.
Choosing to run with an all black (and white) everything design, the understated jersey matches the color scheme of the Nets unique hardwood floor of the Barclays. Nets CEO Brett Yormack spoke on the new jerseys.
“The inaugural event at Barclays Center, the new home of the Brooklyn Nets, was the perfect time to reveal the new Nets jersey and there was no one more fitting than Brooklyn’s own JAY Z to do it,” said Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “The jersey’s black and white color scheme and classic look speaks to the rich history of Brooklyn and we anticipate Brooklyn Nets fans proudly sporting our jerseys throughout the borough and all over the world.”
