Every NBA team will be wearing a new City Edition uniform this season, but which jerseys are best? We ranked all 30.

"},{"title":"30. Dallas Mavericks","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Mavericks_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I don’t have any idea what the Mavericks are trying to do here. They’ve been pretty consistently good with their uniforms over the years, but this looks like something someone thrown together at the last possible second.

"},{"title":"29. New York Knicks ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/KnicksDotCom_New_York_Knicks_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"Knicks.Com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

My word. Nothing about this jersey looks good. From the no-trim collar to the shoehorning “City Never Sleeps” in, this stinks worse than a subway terminal.

"},{"title":"28. Washington Wizards","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Wizards_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Wow. Just in time for Russell Westbrook’s arrival, the Wiz roll out this awfulness. Aside from the fact that the logo is way too small, it looks more like “CLC” than “DC.”

"},{"title":"27. Detroit Pistons","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Pistons_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

No real departure from the original color scheme, and I fail to see why we have to put the city and the state on the jersey. Is there another Detroit in the NBA?

"},{"title":"26. Indiana Pacers ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Pacers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I feel like the City jerseys are a chance for teams to go in a different direction. These are just throwback jerseys to when Rik Smits roamed the paint.

"},{"title":"25. Orlando Magic ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Magic_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

This team always looked good in pinstripes, and I get the reason for the orange, but it just doesn’t fit for me.

"},{"title":"24. New Orleans Pelicans","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Pelicans_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

You can’t tell me that this uniform doesn’t look like a pack of cigarettes.

"},{"title":"23. Houston Rockets ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Rockets_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Not a whole lot here. It's the “H-Town” look from last season’s City Editions in Houston Oilers blue.

"},{"title":"22. Milwaukee Bucks ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Bucks_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Not bad, but not great. The blue is a different look, but they could’ve blended the colors better. It’s a way better look than the “Cream City” uniforms they trotted out last season.

"},{"title":"21. Boston Celtics","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Celtics_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1671714000,"caption":"

The Celtics went for jerseys that look like the championship banners that hang at TD Garden. Just as blah as their originals.

"},{"title":"20. Golden State Warriors","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Warriors_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

A twist on a throwback, I like the use of “Oakland” on their Monta Ellis-era uniforms. They play in San Francisco now, but hey.

"},{"title":"19. Minnesota Timberwolves ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/TimberwolvesDotCom_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"Timberwolves.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Pretty basic, aside from the cool starry trim up one side. They’ll never top the Prince City Edition uniforms from last season.

"},{"title":"18. Oklahoma City Thunder ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Thunder_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

So it’s just Oklahoma now? The design is cool, a big-time step away from their originals, but they’re “City” Edition jerseys for a reason.

"},{"title":"17. Portland Trail Blazers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Blazers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Same deal, different team. Cool design, shoutout to the whole state.

"},{"title":"16. Miami Heat ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Heat_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I liked all the versions of their Miami Vice jerseys, but this one is just all of them mushed together.

"},{"title":"15. Cleveland Cavaliers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Cavaliers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I appreciate what they tried to do here with all the letters in Cleveland from fonts of Hall of Fame Rock bands. But I shouldn’t need a decoder ring to appreciate it. It looks like a ransom note.

"},{"title":"14. Toronto Raptors","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Raptors_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

They went with the same colorway from last year but with more dinosaur claw scratches. The black and gold is a slick look.

"},{"title":"13. Denver Nuggets","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Nuggets_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

The same strong design from last season, now on a red jersey.

"},{"title":"12. Los Angeles Clippers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Clippers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I thought these were dynamite when they came out last season. The Clippers didn’t change them, so they take a hit in the rankings.

"},{"title":"11. Sacramento Kings","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBAKings_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

The Kings really put their heart into this one. The baby blue on black pops and the red trim is nice as well.

"},{"title":"10. Brooklyn Nets","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Nets_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

A shoutout to Brooklyn-born artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, this screams “City” jersey to me. Well done.

"},{"title":"9. Charlotte Hornets","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Hornets_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

I really like the colorway Charlotte went with. You never see teams wear mint green.

"},{"title":"8. Philadelphia 76ers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Sixers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Maybe I’m partial because I’m local, although I know I’m in the minority. Again, they’re “City” jerseys, and yeah, the Iverson-era jerseys would’ve been a cool callback, but that’s another fight.

"},{"title":"7. Phoenix Suns","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Suns_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Love the design on this one. Everything about this jersey says Phoenix to me. Well, except for the fact that it doesn’t say Phoenix anywhere on it.

"},{"title":"6. San Antonio Spurs","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Spurs_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Nice call bringing back the Fiesta colorway they used on their warmups during their dynasty in the 1990s. Just enough of a color splash to make it sing.

"},{"title":"5. Chicago Bulls ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Bulls_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Beautiful. The Bulls go Art Deco with their City Editions, from the jersey font to the trim up the sides, mimicking much of the architecture for the Second City.

"},{"title":"4. Utah Jazz","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Jazz_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Liked their City Editions last year, love them this year. A gradient fade to black just works.

"},{"title":"3. Los Angeles Lakers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Lakers_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

Tough to mess with one of the most iconic uniforms in sports, but this colorway is dope.

"},{"title":"2. Memphis Grizzlies","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Grizzlies_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com","published":1608642000,"caption":"

So many cool elements to this jersey, which illustrates Memphis’ own Stax Records and its most influential artist, Isaac Hayes. The Memphis wordmark is the same font as the Stax logo, all the way down to the record grooves in the background.

"},{"title":"1. Atlanta Hawks ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/NBA_Hawks_City_Edition.jpg","credit":"NBA.com ","published":1608685200,"caption":"

The Hawks do a fantastic job here, collaborating with the estate of civil rights icon and Atlanta native Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for these truly unique, powerful uniforms.
