The Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled their 2024-2025 City Edition uniforms at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Thursday.
The big picture: The alternate uniforms are part of an NBA-wide initiative promoting teams' connections to their cities.
- Previous iterations in Cleveland have paid homage to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Metroparks and Playhouse Square.
The latest: This year's edition is inspired by CMA's logo and the architectural design of the art museum's west wing.
- It features two shades of light blue. The front shade is meant to mimic the museum logo, while the back is the powder blue of the Cavs' iconic home jerseys from 1994-1997.
Between the stripes: The jersey's most unique design element is perhaps its piping down the sides, featuring Cleveland and Cavs motifs in coloring book patterns.
- Fans are invited to actually color these in.
- A "Designed By" nameplate "prompts every fan to be the artist of their own jersey," the Cavs say.
What's next: The Cavs will wear the City Edition uniforms for six home games, beginning Sunday: Nov. 17 vs. Charlotte; Dec. 5 vs. Denver; Dec. 23 vs. Utah; Jan. 12 vs. Indiana; Mar. 5 vs. Miami; Mar. 27 vs. San Antonio.
- On those nights, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse will be decked out in a special City Edition court, incorporating the same design elements and coloring book pattern as the uniform.
