In anticipation of the 2017 All-Star Game in New Orleans, the NBA has unveiled the uniforms for both teams, with the West wearing charcoal gray and the East wearing light gray at the Pelicans‘ arena, the Smoothie King Center.
John Reid of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the West's jerseys will feature red numbers trimmed in gold, while the East's will feature blue numbers trimmed in white.
Both uniforms will have an “aged metal design treatment” across the font outlines with their respective custom conference badges on the shorts, paying tribute to the city's French-inspired ironwork.

This year's iteration of the All-Star Game was intended to take place in Charlotte, but commissioner Adam Silver decided to shift locations due to North Carolina's controversial state law that eliminated anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT community.
How do this year's uniforms stack up to former New Orleans-inspired ones from previous All-Star game? Tell us in the comments.
