It looks like the difference between this season's NBA All-Star uniforms and previous All-Star designs will be as stark as black and white.
For the past 15 years the league has stuck to the traditional format of the Eastern Conference All-Stars wearing blue or blue-trimmed uniforms and their Western Conference counterparts wearing red. But for this season's All-Star Game, which is scheduled to be played on Feb. 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the league has scrapped the East-versus-West format in favor of a draft-style system with two team captains choosing the rosters, and it appears that the uniforms will feature one team in black and the other in white -- with all players wearing black-and-white versions of their regular team logos on their jersey chests.
