The “City Edition” jerseys are a dangerous game

Part of Nike’s jersey conceptualization has been to shift away from the long-established home and away structure that has been a mainstay since the league’s inception. While under the Nike umbrella, most franchises saw the preservation of their traditional light and dark jerseys, which operated as home and away in the past. Basically Nike just renamed them the “Association” and “Icon” and freshened them up in most cases.

Where they started cooking was their introduction of what would typically be considered “alternate” uniforms, and instead dubbed them different “editions.” These editions come with titles like “Statement” or “City” that reflect the inspiration behind their designs.
