The Atlanta Hawks’ unprecedented partnership with the Estate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the culmination of the MLK Nike City Edition Uniforms has been a collaboration years in the making. Every single detail on the uniform is intentional and has a story behind it. From the crown and shield symbol inspired by Dr. King’s home church, to the Freedom Stars representing times Dr. King was jailed fighting for justice and equality. The three iconic initials of Dr. King are stitched across the front of the uniforms. The name of the font that the Hawks chose is coincidentally called Martin and was created by Black designer and VocalType founder Tre Seals.
