According to Marcus Thompson of Mercury news the Golden State Warriors will become the first team in the modern NBA era to go away from using tank tops.
“It was the right moment, the right team,” said Lawrence Norman, Adidas’ vice president of global basketball. “Even more important, the right city. When you launch something as innovative as this — that will change the way the players look on the court and the way the fans support the team forever — why not launch it in the most innovative part of the United States?”
The new jersey is much less a T-shirt than the next phase in the evolution of basketball apparel.
It’s being called the “adizero NBA short sleeve uniform system.” And Adidas boasts it as a revolutionary marriage between performance and aesthetics.
The uniforms will be debuting for the first time during the Warriors game on ESPN vs the San Antonio Spurs on February 22nd. Then against the Houston Rockets and the Chicago Bulls in March.
