As the world around us continues to be a strange place, taking precautions are in order, but who says you can’t do so in style? It’s why this post is dedicated to NBA face masks; ones featuring the team logos, colors and more. For fun, we’re going to rank them.
As a kind reminder, ranking anything is subjective, especially when it comes to how one views the design of numerous NBA face masks. Nevertheless, let’s get this party popping.
30- Atlanta Hawks
There’s absolutely nothing actually wrong with this mask, but it’s bland. Maybe that’s your thing.
Nonetheless, who am I to tell you what to like?
29- Boston Celtics
Another one where the design is simple. At least here, however, the team logo and colors are a bit more prevalent.
28- New York Knicks
Finally, we have on where all the colors are in the design and should get us all hot and bothered.
Probably a must-have for those who (somehow) still root for the Big Apple’s most famous franchise.
27- Orlando Magic
Yet another fine piece of designing on our ranking of NBA face masks.
It’s up to you to decide if this tickles your fancy or not.
26- Charlotte Hornets
Michael Jordan owns the Hornets.
You can own Hornets gear.
Basically, that will make you Michael Jordan.
25- Denver Nuggets
I truly enjoy these designs. Some are a bit more colorful than others, but there’s the right vibe for just about any Nuggets fan.
Heck, I’m not even a fan and I copped them, as they’re on sale!
24- Brooklyn Nets
Maybe it’ll eventually work out that way, but remember when the Knicks-Nets were allegedly battling for the heart of New York?
Thing is, it seems no matter how awful Jim Dolan runs his franchise, and how many stars Brooklyn brings in, it’s a battle maybe not worth focusing on.
Nevertheless, don’t battle good decisions and buy this!
23- Indiana Pacers
Bottom left is my favorte.
Top right is my second.
What’s yours?
22- Chicago Bulls
These are all straight fire.
Not only should Bulls fans cop these to be safe, but intel suggests there’s a brighter future in Chicago than when ran by the previous front office.
There’s nowhere to go but up!
21- Los Angels Clippers
These are probably ranked too low, but this handsome Internet scribbler doesn’t look all that snazzy in blue or red.
Maybe you do and/or you’re a Clippers fan.
20- Dallas Mavericks
What would Luka do?
Probably cop one of these wonderful face masks, is my guess.
19- Memphis Grizzlies
The power blue one on the bottom left is legit nice.
Like a few others on this list, despite not being a Grizzlies fan — though I am a huge Ja Morant stan — that design is just too good to pass up.
Plus, like many others here, it’s on sale!
18- New Orleans Pelicans
Look at that big bad Pelican in the upper right hand corner.
That’s the Zion Williamson of pelicans (like the bird, not the team).
17- Detroit Pistons
These are rather simple, yet elegant designs.
Don’t be a bad boy in real life. Purchase these to be safe out there on the mean streets.
Do, however, be a bad boy supporter.
16- Dallas Mavericks
So nice, the Mavs made it twice. Also, one team doesn’t have official NBA face masks for sale through our partners.
Basically, so here we are.
As we’ll discuss near the end of the post, most teams have even more variety to choose from than the ones being ranked. Use this duplicate as an example of such choice.
15- Washington Wizards
So much red and blue on this list, but at least the one on the bottom right hand corner adds variety to our ranking.
John Wall is no longer a Wizard, but you know who is?
You!
14- Sacramento Kings
Upper left hand corner is dope. There’s no other way around it.
In fact, as it is with almost all of these NBA face masks, the design with the logo being the dominant feature is my favorite.
Kings of the… West?
13- Toronto Raptors
Speaking of kings — though Toronto are Kings of the North — these are all really neat.
In my humble opinion, few franchises do as well with their colors and logos as the Raptors.
Cop’em!
12- San Antonio Spurs
This is the rare time where my favorite isn’t the one with the logo as big as the moon.
Lower left hand corner is all that and a bag of chips.
I do not lie.
11- Phoenix Suns
Orange is such a cool color.
Luckily for Suns fans, it plays well off a variety of other colors such as purple.
10- Oklahoma City Thunder
Dad joke inbound…
These are so great that I am… thunderstruck.
Hooray!
9- Philadelphia 76ers
Look at Big Bad Ben Franklin getting ready to take it to the hoop.
No. For real. LOOK AT HIM!
OK. Thanks. Now buy the face mask.
8- Milwaukee Bucks
I genuinely like all four designs here. They also go with real life clothing.
Like, you know, clothing that’s not pandemic related.
I can’t wait until this is all over. How about you?
7- Portland Trail Blazers
Black and red never goes wrong.
Prove me otherwise.
I dare you!
6- Cleveland Cavaliers
Man, we need the Cavs to be good again. So much of their gear is really cool.
Until then, it’s likely that only the most die-hard Cavaliers fans will purchase these.
5- Miami Heat
If you can’t stand the Heat, get out and buy a face mask.
How many terrible dad jokes in are we?
Oh, all of them?
4- Minnesota Timberwolves
I’m projecting here a bit, as the lime color isn’t exactly my jam, but all the cool kids seem to enjoy it.
Nevertheless, if you rock one of these, you’ll be shining brighter than a diamond.
3- Houston Rockets
Houston, we have zero problems.
Why?
Because these bad boys are all on sale!
2- Golden State Warriors
All flame emojis all the time.
Remain in a Golden State of mind when out in public. Buy these.
1- Los Angeles Lakers
What Brock Lesnar is to the WWE, the Los Angeles Lakers are to the NBA.
Don’t overthink it. If you’re an Purple & Gold fanatic, be safe and cop these.
As far as NBA face masks go, there’s even more out there. While we ranked these primarily based off price, design and the like, Fanatics actually has even more variety for each team.
If that’s your thing, you can:
