With a rematch of last year's Finals (Warriors and Cavaliers) and a matchup of the two Los Angeles teams (Clippers and Lakers), the schedule of games on Christmas Day was already going to be must watch television. But now that the NBA and Adidas have unveiled the special edition uniforms the teams will be playing in, it is basically guaranteed that the games will be stunning to watch.
Getting rid of sleeves and gimmicks like players' nicknames, this season the Bulls, Pelicans, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Heat, Cavaliers, Lakers and Clippers will play in gorgeous retro-looking uniforms with matching holiday socks from Stance.
From Adidas:
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 little details are a very nice touch as the seal and socks look phenomenal.
Now that we've seen the uniforms, it is quite clear that Christmas "can't be far away."
