The 2026 NBA Finals reunite the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs in a rematch of the 1999 championship. Both clubs will wear the same color schemes that defined their past glory runs: the Knicks in white and blue, the Spurs alternating white and black. Each jersey carries a commemorative USA 250 patch celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

Uniform rotations mirror regular‑season success. The Knicks wear their Association jerseys in Games 1, 3 and 4, a look that produced a 27‑16 regular‑season record and a flawless 6‑0 postseason run. Their Icon uniform appears in Game 2, where they posted a 7‑5 regular‑season and 4‑1 playoff record. The Spurs flip the script, debuting the Icon kit in Games 1, 3 and 4, posting a 15‑3 regular‑season and 5‑2 postseason record, then switching to the Association jersey for Game 2 with a 20‑6 regular‑season and 6‑3 playoff record.

The patch will be removed after each game, with select game‑worn pieces slated for ultra‑rare trading cards, a move that adds collector intrigue to an already historic series. The uniform schedule underscores how both franchises lean on familiar identity threads while honoring a national milestone.
