The NBA and adidas released the 2015 All-Star uniforms, and they are surprisingly restrained.
With NBA All-Star Weekend headed to New York in 2015, the league and its outfitter adidas could have gone any number of directions. Consider us blessed, then, that the league went so simple and relatively unadorned.
The shooting shirts are going to be hot sellers.
The West jerseys are pretty slick, too.
There are two design wrinkles. First, you may notice a line of five stars down the flank of the jersey. These each have patterns within them and are meant to represent the Five Boroughs. Here's a close-up.
Bricks for Brooklyn (fitting, given the Nets), the ripples of vinyl records for The Bronx, a pattern inspired by the Unisphere for Queens, waves for Staten Island (via water) and (of course!) a taxi cab checkered print for Manhattan. I would have gone with the Wu Tang Clan logo for S.I., Metta World Peace's face for Queens and bricks in Manhattan to also honor the Knicks appropriately, but we're splitting hairs.
The final wrinkle: players' full names will appear on the backs of the jerseys.
This has the potential to look weird, which means that we absolutely need to find a way to get Giannis Antetokounmpo in the All-Star Game.
