New York Knicks debut alternate jerseys honoring FDNY

The New York Knicks play in a city that’s as much about community as it is skyscrapers and overpriced deli food. Through tragedy and triumph, New York has managed to stand tall and united in the face of both glory and adversity.

That was never proven more true than by how New York City responded to the indescribable events of September 11, 2001.

The terrorist attacks that were conducted on 9/11 challenged the mettle of both the city and the nation. Bravery and strength prevailed, with individuals far and wide strengthening their status as community members.

In a tweet from the official New York Knicks Twitter account, it was revealed that the organization will honor a group of heroes from that calamitous day: The FDNY.
