LA Clippers unveil their 2020-21 City Edition uniform
The LA Clippers unveiled their 2020-21 City Edition uniform.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That seems to be the LA Clippers’ motto when it came to unveiling their Nike City Edition uniform for the 2020-21 NBA season.
In a release on Twitter, the team unveiled that they will once again partner with Mister Cartoon, using his popular “Los Angeles” design from last season but this time in an all black format and featuring the new jersey sponsor, Honey. This matches up with the leaks from a month ago.
From the team’s release:
"The design is a symbol of the Clippers’ commitment to Los Angeles and will help cultivate the next generation of talent in the city through the “Make Your Mark” campaign, which encourages LA youth to hone their art through practice and hard work and to strive for greatness."
The team also announced that they have partnered with Mister Cartoon even further, hosting digital workshops for high school students around the LA-based area. These workshops will feature Mister Cartoon himself giving instruction to 50 students each session and the team will provide all necessary supplies.
The team put out the above video, showing both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard seeing the jersey for the first time. Most notably, Kawhi not only made a solid joke for the video but also seems to be rocking a new hairstyle.
The jersey unveiling was an instant hit on Twitter. Fans who want the jersey, as well as other merchandise related to it, can reserve their timeslot on the team’s website before the collection goes live on December 3.
It’s also worth speculating that the team might get a new Statement uniform. Last year’s statement uniform was also black and it’s hard to imagine the team would have two uniforms that are the same color. Perhaps we finally get a new red jersey for the Clippers?
