Following the success of the popular Nike City Edition uniforms the Brooklyn Nets wore during the 2018-2019, which paid homage to the late Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G., the franchise is doubling down this season to honor arguably the greatest rapper of all time.
On Thurs., Nov. 21, the team had a countdown to unveil the already popular jerseys at a party at the Brooklyn Bank in Bedford Stuyvesant. The venue was fitting because the neighborhood was where Biggie was born and raised, and it is also the place the Nets will represent when they wear these special jerseys. N
ets center DeAndre Jordan introduced the white jersey with “BED-STUY” emblazoned across the chest.
“I want to thank everybody for coming out to this City Edition launch. Obviously these jerseys are pretty dope,” he told the crowd. “The camo is inspired by Biggie obviously … I can’t wait to wear these joints.”
The BED-STUY font was designed by graphic artist Eric Haze, who also designed the team’s 2019-20 Statement Edition uniform and contributed to last season’s City Edition uniforms, paying tribute to Biggie by also designing a customized *BED-STUY* mark for each player on the bottom of the uniform, which is similar to the lettering displayed across the chest.
Like last year, the new uniforms feature a multi-color “Brooklyn Camo” pattern, which runs down the sides of the jersey and shorts, and along the neck and arm trim. The camo pays tribute to the late rapper.
According to the Nets, the new Nike uniform “represents the neighborhood’s storied history, its lasting impact in music, art and culture, and the icon who put it on the map.”
The night also featured a special performance by rapper and Bed-Stuy native, Joey Bada$$. The Nets unveiled a tribute mural of Biggie by local artist David Hollier. According to the Nets, the 5×7-foot piece features an image of Biggie created with a composite of the lyrics to “Sky’s The Limit.”
