The City Edition jerseys have dropped across the league and the Nets are looking to spice things up this time around. The navy blue and red colors of the jerseys are a representation of the team’s New Jersey identity prior to the 2012 move to Brooklyn.
Upon the relocation to Brooklyn, the primary colors for the Nets became black and white. However, this does not mean the identity of the team changed too. This is still that gritty and hard working organization that booked two trips to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003. Basketball legend Jason Kidd led the team to those Finals appearances, being the biggest reason why the Nets bought into being that gritty and hard working team.
If this modern day roster can replicate the same accomplishments, it will officially make it 19 years since the Nets made it to the Finals. It looks like they will have some New Jersey swagger to go with it if it does happen.
The Nets will wear their City Edition jerseys for the first time on Wednesday, Nov. 3, against the Hawks.
