OKLAHOMA CITY (KSWO) – The Oklahoma City Thunder have debuted their 2025-2026 Nike City Edition Uniform.
According to the Thunder, the uniform pays tribute to the Native and Indigenous community “that shape Oklahoma’s identity and community spirit.”
Team officials say different elements of the jersey pay homage through design elements such as patterns reminiscent of ceremonial regalia and the turtle emblem.
The uniforms are set to make their debut on Native American Heritage Night on Nov. 19 against the Sacramento Kings.

Fans may recognize elements of the new uniform, which draws inspiration from the Thunder’s 2018-19 City Edition design. This season’s version deepens the connection to Oklahoma’s rich Native heritage, weaving together historical influences with modern-day pride—reflecting Oklahoma City as a city that’s on the move, united by culture, and energized by the growing legacy of Thunder Basketball.
At the center of the jersey, interlocking geometric shapes form “OKC,” symbolizing unity and strength. Inspired by the Oklahoma River that binds the north and south sides of our city, the jersey also features water-like teeth uniting the jersey’s duotone halves.
On the waistband is a pattern of expanding squares representing growing communities, inspired by ceremonial regalia. Hidden in the right side-leg of the shorts is a turtle emblem, representing endurance and unity, featuring a circular shell with lines echoing community connection and the medicine wheel. The turtle’s squares and arrows point toward OKC, reflecting the four sacred directions.
Sunset-toned sashes wrap the shoulder and shorts leg, honoring tribal resilience and shared identity. The 11 geometric stars on the sides of the jersey and shorts carry forward stories passed through generations.
The uniforms go on sale on Nov. 11.
