The NBA’s 2023 City Jerseys, ranked from best (the Suns, I guess?) to worst (Miami Heat, WYD?)

These jerseys are just not it.

The NBA has been doing this “City” jersey thing for a while now with Nike and, normally, it’s a fun exercise.

There’s always some bad. There’s always some good. But, in the end, there’s usually some sort of appreciation for what the jerseys are bringing to the table. By the end of the season, most fans normally have some favorites they love.

I can only speak for myself here when I say this time, I don’t have any favorites. Not one. Nothing is speaking to me.

The NBA’s City jerseys for the 2023-24 season range from OK to bad to just downright confusing. It’s kind of hilarious.

This is happening in part because Nike and the NBA are matching up the new digs with the new courts the league is implementing for its first-ever in-season NBA tournament.

The tournament seems like it could be a fun time. I assure you, these jerseys will not.

Let’s dig into them. Here’s every single jersey so far, ranked.

The NBA’s City Edition Jerseys, ranked from best to worst

Here. We. Go.

It’s really hard to make a jersey. Especially an alternate jersey.

Normal jerseys are easy. You have the home colors and away colors to work with. You know exactly what team colors you have and exactly what inspires them.

Alternate jerseys? Man, there’s so much that can go wrong. They’re all inspired by something different — a team’s quality or history. Picking the wrong thing can mean an absolutely terrible jersey.

That’s exactly why some of the NBA’s new city edition jerseys are so hit or miss. Some of them are really good. Like, really good. But the bad ones? They’re awful.

We’ve got them all ranked right here for you.

These are… interesting

Designing jerseys is hard. Everyone has an opinion. And it’s always cool to hate on things when they first come out.

With that being said, there are new NBA alternate jerseys that various teams across the league will allegedly wear for next season. Not many of them have been made official just yet, so we don’t know if some of these will actually be worn. But fans are still coming with their takes — most of them are getting roasted.

Some are good, some are bad and some just look like joints you could buy from the vendor with the stand on the side of the street.

Let’s have a look.
