The Nets will don the famed Stars and Stripes uniform this season, the one they wore the years they won ABA championships, the team announced Thursday.
The fan favorite will be the team’s 2022-23 Classic Edition uniform. The throwback classic debuted 50 years ago in 1972 and worn by the Nets in both 1974 and 1976, the years they won ABA titles with Julius Erving while playing as the New York Nets at the then-new Nassau Coliseum.
“The revival of the Stars and Stripes uniform is exciting for both the longtime supporters of the Nets and an entirely new generation of fans,” said Andrew Karson, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing, Strategy and Solutions at BSE Global, parent company of the Nets and Barclays Center.
