NBA Unveils Jerseys For 2023 All-Star Game – SportsLogos.Net News
In addition to announcing team captains and starters on Thursday night, the NBA unveiled the jerseys for the 2023 All-Star Game, which will take place in Salt Lake City on Feb. 19.
The jerseys are reminiscent of the Utah Jazz’s City Edition uniforms, which both featured a gradient design, albeit not as defined. One design features a red-to-yellow gradient, while the other features a blue-to-black gradient.
The piping on the side of the uniforms pulls inspiration from the 2017-20 City Edition uniform, specifically, as it uses one of the mountains in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game logo rather than the roadways to St. George and Moab.
Both uniforms are complete with white numbers and a white All-Star wordmark across the chest, as well as the Jordan Jumpman logo and KIA logo on opposite shoulders.
There’s also the league-wide memorial patch for late Boston Celtics great Bill Russell on the right shoulder of the jerseys, as shown above, though that doesn’t appear on the retail versions below.
This marks the sixth year the league has used the captain format rather than East vs. West, with 19-time All-Star LeBron James and seven-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo set to choose their teams shortly before the game.
It’s unclear at this time which team will wear which jerseys or what the shorts look like, though we’ll share that information once it becomes available. Tipoff of the 72nd annual NBA All-Star Game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
