What We Know About the New Nike NBA Alternate Uniforms

As we’ve seen in the past couple of months, each NBA team has been officially releasing their new “Icon” and “Association” (the new name for what was previously known as “home” and “road”) uniforms. Now, in the coming months, each team is set to unveil their remaining 3rd and 4th uniforms known as the “Athlete’s Mindset” and “Community” uniforms.

There seems to be a general consensus that the rough official release date for these uniforms will be Fall 2017 for the Athlete’s Mindset uniform and Winter 2017 for the Community uniform.

Through knowledge gained from personal sources and catching clues and glimpses of uniforms from video games and behind-the-scenes images, I’ve come up with some “uniform estimation” renderings. The accuracy of each image varies, so here’s a list of each rendering and a short description of its accuracy and a link to “evidence” if it’s been made public.
