    Each team will have four primary uniforms, with the home jersey being renamed the Association Edition and the road jersey being designated the Icon Edition. Nike's iconic Swoosh logo will also appear on the uniforms.

    Eight NBA teams will have a Classic Edition uniform that will be available in the fall and the Charlotte Hornets will be the only NBA team wearing uniforms from the Jordan Brand, a subsidiary of Nike.

    I woke up this morning hoping beyond hope to be able to see what the new Golden State uniforms were going to look like. Now I can rest.

    Thanks Sly!

    I heard they're going to make you wear a uniform this year with a corporate sponsor patch featuring Country Buffet.

    Bam! Fams!

    btw, if you're going to crack me for missing the letter D in a word, could you at least spell the word "out loud" correctly?

    Or are you saying I should out load it? ;)

    I'm sure the new uniforms will look good. But renaming the home and road jerseys as Association and Icon editions is pretty dumb, and not to mention completely unnecessary.

    Hey guys, we will still be playing NBA basketball, but we are going to call it IconBall instead. Your jersey will be called a Bəlvis (get used to it). We'll have 4 versions of your team's Bəlvis, including a retro-Bəlvis.

    The shot-clock will now be called a Targüs. It will count down in Villimens instead of seconds. A Villimen is roughly equal to 2 seconds, so get used to the new 12 Villemen Targüs.

    Due to the prevalence of 3- pointers in today's IconBall, we wanted to update the old fashioned name to something flashy, more international, and with more pizzazz. Get used to Steph Curry leading the Trampon (Oh sorry, that is the new term for "league". We forgot to mention that one.) in Tres-爆発.

    Remember to tune in this fall for the 2017/2018 IconBall season! It's a new Trampon! And remember to buy your favorite player's new, updated Nike Bəlvis!

    They're not renaming the home and away jerseys, they're doing away with them. The home team can pick any jersey to wear.
