The Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs unveiled ABA-inspired classic edition uniforms and courts on Monday. The looks pay homage to each franchise's milestone ABA anniversary, with several teams marking their 60th year.
The Brooklyn Nets drew inspiration from the New York Nets era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their white uniform features the "Nets" wordmark in red cursive, with red, white and blue stripes along the collar, waistband and sides of the jerseys and shorts. The team also introduced a classic court celebrating every era and player in franchise history.
The Pacers are returning to their iconic blue road uniforms, featuring the original 1967 logo on the shorts. Asymmetrical racing stripes run from the right shoulder across to the left side of the shorts. The franchise, which won three ABA championships before joining the NBA, will also use a retro court for 10 nights during the season, featuring retro graphics and classic music.
The Spurs' edition features a classic silver base with the Spurs wordmark and the iconic diamond on the shorts with a spur logo at the center. San Antonio will debut the look against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 4.
Denver is honoring its pre-Nuggets era, returning to its Rockets ABA days with an orange look. The arched "Denver" wordmark in black letters is outlined in white, and the original Rockets logo appears on the bottom right of the shorts. The Nuggets will debut the uniform on Dec. 27 against Indiana.
