The NBA confirmed the rumors that almost every City Edition uniforms this season will be a recolor – or remix – of a previous year’s design, sharing a collage to social media on Friday that included a piece of every team’s wordmark or number font.
That, combined with previous leaks and unveilings, has allowed us to decipher what uniform each team will bring back this season – though it’s still not clear at this time whether they’ll be an exact reproduction or will switch up the colors from the original design.
The full team-by-team breakdown is as follows:

The NBA typically unveils every City Edition uniform on a single day in late October or early November, but it appears the league is attempting to get out in front of the retail leaks that have impacted the release in previous seasons.
That said, we anticipate the reprised or updated designs will be rolled out as each team sees fit, while the corresponding retails jerseys and other merchandise won’t be available until closer to – or shortly after – the start of the season, which tips off on Oct. 21.
