The sick threads come just in time for the ongoing standoff between Jimmy Butler and the Heat front office. Yeah, you might want to wait to buy that Butler jersey as the star is attempting to push his way out of South Beach.
Don’t worry, there are still plenty of other players you can buy. Just maybe wait until those Butler jerseys hit the half-price mark.
Here’s what you need to know about the Heat’s “Miami Vice” look.
The Heat Went Back to the White OG Miami Vice Uniforms
So, the Heat have unveiled two “Miami Vice” looks over the years. There is the all-black look with the pink accents, but the Heat chose to go back to the OG white for the cleanest uniform combo. Miami has four different versions of the “Vice” look.

The Grizzlies and Suns are among the teams being mentioned as potential landing spots for Butler. I guess Phoenix is thinking they haven’t underachieved enough with their current cast of washed NBA stars.
Regardless, the NBA odds have the Heat as 1½-point favorites versus the Nuggets in Friday’s matchup. Let’s see if the unis can help Miami amid all the drama.
