Nike, of course, has been designing the league's jerseys since last season. They are slated to do so in the next eight years, and ever since they took over, we've seen teams wear different variations and colorways of their uniform almost every game. It certainly made the game a little more interesting.
However, not everything went well in their first season. Various incidents of the jerseys being easily ripped apart raised eyebrows. They addressed such problems and vowed to immediately implement a solution and work with the respective NBA teams to avoid another malfunction.
Be as it may, the revamp in the jerseys is still something to look out for. In the next few years, we should expect Nike to roll out new designs and perhaps new gimmicks to the jerseys. Hopefully, it includes Booker's request to bring back the retro jerseys.
