NBA City Edition Jerseys for 2025-26 Released

The annual reveal of NBA City Edition uniforms is always an exciting moment for fans and style enthusiasts alike. Basketball enthusiasts eagerly await the fresh designs that roll out each season, and this year is no exception.

All the City Edition jerseys for the 2025-26 season have been revealed. Among the updates, fans will find beloved styles making a return—like the Miami Heat’s “Miami Vice” look getting a black makeover and the Denver Nuggets reviving their mountain skyline theme. Additionally, there are a host of new and original designs to appreciate. Nike seems to have put together a solid lineup of alternates this time around.

That said, not every uniform is created equal. Here at SB Nation, we take the tradition of ranking the City Edition jerseys seriously, and this year is no different. These rankings are merely my initial thoughts, so I welcome any disagreements in the comments. Let’s dive in!

28. Portland Trail Blazers

The Blazers have had some impressive City Edition jerseys in the past, but I’m not feeling these at all.

There’s a certain nostalgia—like the time Gilbert Arenas proudly wore this while shouting “hibachi!” It wasn’t popular back then, and I’m not sure this cherry blossom theme is a win now either.

26. Golden State Warriors

These designs are fine, yet they didn’t quite wow me.

Having Lauri Markkanen model these jerseys is an interesting choice—maybe it signals he’s here to stay.

Speaking of cool designs, Trae Young’s Peachtree jersey seems like it would be a hit at music festivals in Atlanta years from now.

I’d love to see a throwback teal horse jersey, otherwise, I’m a bit indifferent.

Now, I can’t help but feel these jerseys carry a heavier vibe than even the Pelicans’ injury reports. The “0 Fears” version stands out, but I can’t help but feel it should rank higher.

This look is simple yet functional. Still, it doesn’t scream “alternative” to me.

For next year’s City Edition, how about jerseys saying “Fire Nico”? I know he’s been let go, but that could become a Dallas slogan.

I think Celtics fans might adore these uniforms, but honestly, a Celtics jersey without green? That’s a hard pass from me.

They might just shine in the 2026 NBA Finals.

This purple jersey might not be the star of the collection, but it’s pretty decent nonetheless.

Like the Bulls’ new gear, this one isn’t flashy, but it maintains a solid presence.

These uniforms are clean, and you could definitely be the coolest kid on campus rocking a Cedric Coward City Edition jersey.

I envision these going platinum in Arkansas, thanks to the Austin Reeves fan movement.

Without the encryption patch, these would be so much better.

I’m all in for Cream City pride.

It’s been a rough start for the Magic, but I can’t complain about this jersey—someone send me those pants!

10. Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder’s standard uniforms can be a bit dull, so this new look is a welcome change. It’s definitely one of the strongest designs.

I can’t quite decide if I’m a fan, or if they remind me of those retro Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys. They have potential, but I think they’d be better off with just “Cavs” on the front.

Biggie’s legacy might shine through these uniforms, but let’s be real—that’s not particularly high praise.

These jerseys are excellent and definitely deserve a place in your Suns collection.

6. Minnesota Timberwolves

The Prince Purple Rain Jersey truly stands out; it’s inventive and deeply connected to the local culture. No further explanation needed.

The Spurs’ Fiesta jerseys continue to impress, and this year’s offering is no different. The previous white version was nice, but black is just as effective.

I’m not sure how popular these will be, but I personally think they’re fantastic. Houston’s basketball history resonates in a unique and genuine way.

Miami’s Vice jerseys are a classic that should never be changed. While I preferred the previous white and blue, these ones still hold their own.

I guess I’m just a sucker for a jersey featuring a dribbling dinosaur. From the stylish script to the cool texture, these feel just right.

These jerseys take inspiration from the Pacers’ ABA roots but manage to feel modern. It’s a pity they’re premiering in a year without Tyrese Haliburton.
