NBA All-Star 2026: A timeline of uniform designs - ESPN
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is the 75th edition of the midseason showcase — and the NBA's best are ready to strut their stuff in style.
While hosting the league's biggest stars on one court has been a constant for several decades — except for 1999, because of the NBA lockout — much has transformed since the game's beginning in 1951.
One change that easily catches the eye of viewers is the ever-growing number of uniform combinations that have been worn throughout the years.
Each NBA team receives four jersey editions: Association, Icon, City and Statement. During the 2021-22 season, more than 100 different uniforms were worn throughout the league.
In the ninth consecutive year of being outfitted by Jordan Brand, All-Stars can add another jersey to their vast collection. The 2026 uniforms were unveiled in February.
The NBA today unveiled the uniforms and court for the 75th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., home of the LA Clippers. The annual midseason showcase will air on <a href=«https://twitter.com/NBAonNBC?ref_src=» https:>@NBAonNBC
