NBA uniforms are like the weather. If you don’t like them right now, wait a little while and they will change.
Since Nike took over as the league’s official uniform designer in 2017, there have been massive and frequent changes to almost every set. The traditionalists have stayed mostly the same, but some of the newer teams have taken the chance to overhaul their designs completely.
As is often the case, the upcoming 2022-23 season will feature a handful of new uniforms. Some teams went through complete changes, while others just added throwback or alternate looks.
Here’s a roundup of every new uniform to be worn during the 2022-23 NBA season:
The Hawks haven’t unveiled any new uniforms for this season yet.
The Celtics haven’t unveiled any new uniforms for this season yet.
The Nets unveiled two new jerseys – a statement edition and a classic edition – to complement their traditional black and white sets.
The statement edition is a black-on-black look with a white outline around the name and numbers:
The classic edition pays tribute to the Julius Erving era, when they were the New York Nets with the red, white and blue color scheme.
In a slightly tweaked statement look, the Hornets revealed updated purple uniforms for this season. The biggest change is the “Hornets” across the chest rather than “CHA.” They will also have an alternate court design when they wear the purple uniforms at home.
The Bulls haven’t unveiled any new uniforms for this season yet.
It’s a new era for the Cavaliers, who revealed a complete uniform rebrand before trading for star guard Donovan Mitchell in September. The team colors are unchanged, but here’s a look at the updated association (white), icon (wine) and statement (black) sets:
The Mavericks haven’t unveiled any new uniforms for this season yet.
Denver slightly changed its “Mile High” statement set. It’s still blue, but there’s more yellow and red on the jerseys and shorts this year.
While the Pistons try to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019, they’ll do so with two new uniforms.
The classic edition is a tribute to the 1990s, when Grant Hill and Co. popularized the unique teal uniforms:
The statement edition set is a new black on black design with “DET” on the chest, red and blue horizontal stripes on the jersey and vertical stripes on the shorts:

Indiana Pacers

Los Angeles Clippers
For the third straight season, the Clippers will use the “Los Angeles” wordmark designed by L.A. tattoo artist Mister Cartoon. But instead of just going with black and white, they are adding a pop of color in 2022-23 with red and blue around the arms and collar.
Los Angeles Lakers
