Nike Changing Up The NBA Jersey Game
Today, Nike’s plans for the 2018-2019 NBA season leaked out to the public. What came out from it is that NBA will be doing away with home and away jerseys plus they will have two new jerseys for a grand total of four jerseys. It appears they will have a unique spin without trying too hard. While they aren’t adidas where it’s a total wild card, you still can’t always put blind faith in Nike. They did roll out Sacramento’s main jerseys this afternoon.

From the sounds of the way Nike sets it up, they will have the Icon and Association kits which are going to be more of the traditional jerseys. It seems like the other ones could be a little more outside-the-box. Take Kings for example, they will probably go with a black kit and a baby blue jersey to throw it back. This begs the question though; What will Bucks go with their uniforms?
This is my best guess – Milwaukee will keep most of their things as they’ve seen one of the best rises in merchandise. They’ll keep the White, Green and Black. But I wonder if Black might feature ‘MKE’ versus the logo on the front. The last one could be anything. Some are advocating for cream/green color jersey, and another one, I could see is going to lake blue look with cream letters. Or they could throw it back to the red/green or purple/white. The opportunities are endless.
Good job by Nike thus far.
