Runner Up’s
9. New York Knicks
I don’t know if the Knicks improved on last year’s firefighter tribute of a City Jersey, but it is still one of the best. New York’s blue and orange have always looked great with black, and this year is no exception. Also, the font on the front is fantastic and a good alternate look for a franchise that has seen little change in the way of their brand.
8. Portland Trailblazers
The design compared to last year’s Trailblazers City Jersey is very similar, yet this years is much better. They dropped the plaid design and used the iconic Trailblazers jersey sash to divide the black from the gray. The red lettered “Rip City” is the icing on top of the cake. An absolute home run for Portland.

7. New Orleans Pelicans
Mardi Gras themed jerseys are always winners. The Pelicans have used both of their opportunities with City Jerseys to celebrate their holiday. While they normally role out with navy, red, gold, and white threads, their city jerseys let them wear purple, green, and yellow. This year’s is the white version of their prior City Jersey. It looks great and is even better than last year.
6. Boston Celtics
The Celtics have never strayed from their iconic green and white. Last year they had their court’s parquet pattern on their City Jersey to a mixed perception. This year is a clear improvement as they outline the letters and numbers with a very nice gold. It makes it pop just enough to stand out from their normal white Association Jerseys.
Finally, we have the best of the best.
