New York Knicks unveils City Edition jersey

Two weeks after the official release of all the NBA city edition jerseys, the New York Knicks have unveiled their last jersey for the season: the city edition. As all the other jerseys, Nike's intent with the City edition is to pay homage to a peculiar thing about the city that hosts the franchise. The Kinicks choose to celebrate a symbol of the Big Apple: the Firefighters.

These special uniforms were designed as a collaborative effort between the New York Knicks, Nike, the NBA and the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA). The uniforms feature a dark navy color as a nod to firefighter’s dress uniforms, reflective piping evoking the working uniforms of firefighters everywhere and the UFA logo on the City Edition shorts. The Knicks’ traditional orange, also included, highlights the team’s colors and identity.

The Knicks will debut these uniforms on Tuesday, January 30 when the team takes on the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden, and continue to wear the jerseys at the six remaining weekend home games. At each of these games, the Knicks will donate tickets enabling local firefighters to attend and provide a special game night experience.
