The 2025 offseason has been one underlined by a serious tone. After bowing out of the playoffs in disappointing fashion and firing their head coach, the Knicks had multiple things they needed to address. The summer has been spent going through an extensive head coaching search to replace Tom Thibodeau, filling out the bench with more reliable veterans, and finally making a decision on Mikal Bridges and his extension. Lost among all of the pressing matters and urgent tasks, though, has been the reveal of the Knicks’ newest City Edition jerseys.
New York, which has always been one of the franchises with the least amount of and least creative alternative jerseys, has announced that they are finally bringing back a fan favorite. For the upcoming 2025-26 campaign, the Knicks will be “reviving a modernized version” of the classic white jerseys with blue side panels and orange “New York” lettering.
Not only is this a vintage look that fans have longed to see make its return, it is also the jersey the franchise wore during the last run to the NBA Finals, which took place in 1999. With the Knicks considered one of the top two favorites to make it out of the East and represent the conference in the finals, this seems like the perfect time for the organization to bring back the classic look.
While there have not been any official images of what the jersey could look like, there have already been a few images with what the jersey could potentially look like (see below).
