It appears as if the 2016 NBA Christmas Day uniforms have leaked before they were officially released.
While the NBA season always starts around the last few days of October, football season is in full swing and fans really don’t come around to the NBA until around Christmas Day, when the NBA has their chance to showcase their brand across the world.
Every year on Christmas Day, the NBA has five games featuring 10 of the top teams in the league wearing NBA Christmas Day uniforms. With this being the final season that Adidas makes the uniforms for the league, it means that it is likely the last time we get to see their take on the NBA Christmas uniforms.
While the league is still in the 2015-2016 season, the NBA Christmas Day uniforms have reportedly leaked for the 2016-2017 season, according to ESPN’s Uni Watch. The catalog for the uniform has a jersey for each of the 32 teams, which is the same case as last year, but only 10 will ultimately be worn on the court.
The jerseys are much like the ones worn last year, but the league has instead removed the cream color that was used on some of the jerseys and have updated each set to full team colors.
Even though most of these are destined to never see the court, they are all probably the best NBA Christmas Day uniforms yet.
The only problem with any of them is that the Heat’s look just like the Cavaliers’ uniforms..
