The NBA revealed the new City Edition jerseys for every team around the league, and that means we now have our first look at what jerseys the Brooklyn Nets will be rocking when the time comes to wear them.
These jerseys were revealed as part of a 59 second video and it goes through the history of the Nets from their beginning in Long Island, to their time in New Jersey with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, all the way to their time now with Kevin Durant in Brooklyn.
Despite not having an NBA Championship to their name, the Nets have a rich history that’s shown off in this video.
This year’s squad is well-equipped to bring home the Nets’ first championship, even without the services of Kyrie Irving, but there’s still a long way to go before fans can even start thinking about that.
New City Jerseys Revealed
The jerseys are nice throwback to the past, and this new style should compliment the current jerseys nicely.
Strangely enough, they look modern while also being a throwback to the earlier days of the Nets franchise. The most prominent part of it all is the old school logo. With nostalgia and throwbacks becoming more and more prevalent by the day, it’s cool to see the Nets find a nice middle ground for it all.
The team hasn’t been in Brooklyn long enough to make a legacy of their own, and even their final days in New Jersey weren’t all that pretty. The team’s last division title came in 2006, but they’ve seen some moderate playoff success since then.
This year’s team is perhaps the best in the team’s history, but there is also a lot of talent around the league, including the Milwaukee Bucks who bounced them from the playoffs last year, who will be looking to stop the Nets from winning their first NBA Championship.
