Fresh Threads Alert 🧵
This one’s easy: it’s got a dinosaur, and I’m all in.
NBA City Edition jerseys season is here, and once again, I’m rethinking my team loyalty. Nike and the NBA went all out, with designs that hit every note from historic throwbacks to straight-up street art. Here are my top 5 picks from the 2024 lineup—not ranked because, honestly, I’m way too indecisive.
San Antonio Spurs
This year’s Spurs jersey takes on a Talavera tile vibe, with hints of Spanish architecture. It’s a shoutout to San Antonio’s history but still somehow feels like the future. The colorway is so good I’d consider switching my NBA betting odds to the Spurs, and that’s saying something.

New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans went all in on attitude with this year’s look—deep purple, gold accents, and a sharp herringbone pattern that somehow feels more intimidating than half the team’s defensive lineup. The “N.O. ball” logo at the neck adds a slick touch, and that green pop always hits.

Memphis Grizzlies
Sure, I might be biased, but the Memphis Grizzlies are serving up a history lesson on a jersey. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ABA’s Memphis Sounds, this one’s all about the city’s music roots with a modern Grizzlies roster twist. It’s the kind of throwback that even non-Memphis fans would buy just to say they “get” Memphis.
A fresh take on old-school style.

Toronto Raptors
This one’s easy: it’s got a dinosaur, and I’m all in. Throw in the Vince Carter nostalgia and that bold purple-red combo, and you’ve got the Raptors proving they still hold the NBA’s “coolest logo” title. This is hands down my favorite of the NBA City jerseys 2024 batch. It’s like the jersey equivalent of NBA news that’s actually worth clicking on.

Phoenix Suns
The Suns went full throwback with a nod to the 1995 All-Star Game. It’s all ’90s vibes, and yes, seeing KD and Booker modeling it is an extra bonus. Honestly, these jerseys make me want to put down my NBA games remote and go buy one ASAP.
