The New York Knicks are partying like it’s 1999 with their “City Edition” jerseys for the upcoming season.
It was announced last month that the Knicks would throw it back to their last Finals era uniform for their annual “City Edition” jersey, exciting many fans and analysts. One of those people excited for what’s to come is CBS Sports analyst Sam Quinn, who listed the Knicks’ last Finals jersey as the best in franchise history.
“As is the case with the Celtics, there isn’t too much much variation where the Knicks are concerned. Almost all of their jerseys are relatively simple and come in blue and orange. The late-90s edition wins on a few minor details,” Quinn wrote.
“The V-neck fits a New York team better than a crewneck does. Those sharper edges feel more appropriate for the big city. The slight slant in the side detailing is also a rarity in NBA design, where straight lines are the norm. You can’t really go wrong with a Knicks jersey, but these are their best.”
