This year’s crop of Christmas Day uniforms have been released by the NBA and Adidas. After years of mediocre to straight up ugly jerseys, this year’s set is nothing short of fantastic. In addition to the jerseys, the NBA, in partnership with Stance is also releasing some Christmas-themed socks.The Christmas Day collection is for the ten teams playing on the NBA’s showcased day: New Orleans Pelicans, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Los Angeles Lakers.
The following is from an official press release (via Lang Whitaker):
adidas and the NBA today unveiled the uniforms that all teams will wear during the league’s Christmas Day match-ups. Designed as part of the adidas NBA Season’s Greetings Collection, the uniforms continue the tradition of introducing new and unique elements each season. This year’s uniforms incorporate primary team colors and cream tones, while player names and numbers are showcased in holiday-style script and detailed with woven rows of stitching. A scarlet NBA seal is also displayed on the back of the jersey as a nod to holiday greeting cards.
The socks, Stance’s contribution to the on-court Christmas Day look, mirror the uniform’s design and feature classic holiday colors, winter-inspired imagery and pay homage to holiday sweaters.The Season’s Greetings Collection includes a special-edition Swingman jersey, women’s Replica jersey, on-court shooting shirt, T-shirt, snapback and knit beanie. Items range from $28-$110 and will be available this weekend on NBAStore.com and NBAStore.eu. Jerseys will also be available at select team and other retailers.
The Christmas Day socks go on sale this weekend. They will be available at Stance.com and other major retailers.
