Style is very important to the NBA, whether we’re talking about the fits players wear as they enter the arena or the way the league’s custom NBA Cup courts showcase a particular basketball occasion. The same is true of uniforms, and if you’re a fan of variations on traditional court attire, the league’s “City Edition” unis are for you.
How to Watch
Watch NBA on NBC on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
Designed in some version or another for every NBA team, the “City Edition” uniforms are meant to showcase a certain aspect of the team’s hometown, often in collaboration with a key part of that city’s wider community. For the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2025, that means a tribute to the natural beauty of Northeast Ohio, and you’ll be able to catch the look live on Peacock NBA Monday next week.

What you need to know about the Cleveland Cavaliers’ remixed “The Land” City Edition uniforms
Every Cavaliers fan knows the importance of “The Land” to the team and the larger Cleveland community, and now it’s taking center stage in the form of the Cavs’ City Edition uniforms for 2025-2026. A remix of the 2022 version of “The Land” uniforms, which showcased white, light blue, and brown tones to celebrate the coastline of Lake Erie, this year’s edition features orange hues to celebrate the fall foliage of Northeast Ohio, and the sunsets over Cleveland. Like the 2022 editions, the new remix of “The Land” was produced in collaboration with Cleveland Metroparks.
“Cleveland has always been a city that shocks the world — whether on the court or out in nature,” said Chris Kaiser, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Rock Entertainment Group, in a statement. “As the longest-standing park system in Ohio, Cleveland Metroparks offers residents and visitors the very best opportunities to connect with nature from sunrise to dusk, moments that are truly unique to our region. Our shared belief and pride in being the best in the land, from the hardwood to the trail, is powerfully reflected in the design of our City Edition uniforms this season.”
