Uniform ScheduleThe Indiana Pacers did something most NBA teams never do: on September 18, 2026 they published their own uniform schedule for the 2026-27 season, jersey by jersey and date by date.

NBA·Updated Sep 15, 2026Every NBA team teased 09.15.26. It was the Nike Standard Issue apparel drop, not City Edition jerseys. What launched, what it costs, and what comes next.
ExplainedNike and the NBA confirmed a new uniform line on September 10, 2026, and it answers a question this site has been circling since April. The eight dark, neon-streaked designs that leaked in the spring as "Christmas jerseys," then looked like City Editions, are neither.

Four jersey editions a season, a City Edition that reinvents itself every year, courts that get repainted for the playoffs, and in 2026-27 a run of full rebrands that go well past the uniform. Keeping track of it is a job, so we did it. This is our complete guide to what the NBA looks like in 2026-27: every new uniform and City Edition we have graded, every court we hav

NBA·Updated Sep 10, 2026The 76ers' Specter Edition jersey wraps glowing neon-red stars around the sides of a black base. The concept is nice but we wish there was more color throughout.
NBA·Updated Sep 10, 2026The Warriors' Specter Edition jersey features a Bay Bridge-inspired pattern on a black base with gold accents. The concept is interesting but the execution is a bit boring.
The eight dark Nike designs that leaked in April are the new Specter Edition, confirmed September 10. All black bases with neon graphics. We reviewed every design and gave the collection a D+.

NBA·May 19, 2026NBC's 2026 NBA Western Conference Finals broadcast is the most boring playoff coverage we've seen in years. Worse than TNT, miles behind ESPN. Boring scorebug, no playoff identity. Grade C.
NBA·Updated May 19, 2026Every 2026 NBA Playoffs Round 1 jersey and uniform matchup graded. Pistons, Cavaliers, Sixers, and Lakers all advanced to Round 2 after Game 7 closeouts.

Just 33% of Round 1 NBA playoff home games had the home team in a traditional uniform. Six teams never pulled it off once all first round.
Where to watch the 2026 NBA Conference Finals: the Western Conference Finals air exclusively on NBC and Peacock. The Eastern Conference Finals air on ESPN with select Sunday games on ABC. NBA Finals on ABC starting June 3.
NBA·May 12, 2026Leaked NBA wordmarks for 2026-27 confirm new Hawks, Nets, Rockets, and Timberwolves jerseys. Three throwbacks and one Rockets curveball. Full breakdown and grade for every new uniform mark.
NBA·May 12, 2026Leaked Phoenix Suns 2026-27 City Edition jersey swaps the current black uniform for bright teal in the same template. We grade the alleged new Suns City jersey against the current black one and break down why teal works for Phoenix.
Cavaliers fans trolled Canada and Drake in Game 7 against the Raptors with USA chants and Free Bird, the Team USA Olympics and 4 Nations Face-Off celebration anthem against Canada.
ESPN updated the mobile app and the new NBA scores page is a real upgrade. The score module is cleaner, the type is sharper, and the matchup read is faster than the version it replaced.
NBC carried Celtics-Sixers and Cavaliers-Raptors Game 7s in the 2026 NBA Round 1 closeouts. ABC had Magic-Pistons. We grade why NBC's broadcast outclassed ABC's coverage of the deciding games.
The NBA Playoffs logo keeps moving on the stanchion at Lakers-Rockets Round 1 games. Game 4 at Toyota Center put it front and center. Game 5 at Crypto.com Arena demoted it to the side panel behind a Get The App ad.
NBA·Apr 29, 2026How NBA teams pick which jersey and uniform to wear each playoff game. The equipment manager, the coaching staff, the marketing department, and the league approval process explained.
We rank the 2025-26 NBA broadcast theme songs across NBC, Prime Video, and ESPN, with throwback love for the retired NBA on TNT and old NBA on ESPN intros.
NBA·Apr 23, 2026The 2026 NBA Playoffs logo is the classic NBA wordmark used across courts, broadcasts, and merch. Here's the design, where it appears, and how it compares to the Finals logo.
NBA·Apr 22, 2026Adam Silver went on Pardon My Take and confirmed the NBA is dropping the slippery Finals court decal and painting the Finals logo directly on the 2026 court. The fix the postseason has needed for years.
NBA·Apr 21, 2026The NBA Play-In Tournament stanchion gets branded. The First Round, Second Round, and Conference Finals stanchions don't. Only the Finals still gets treatment. We want it on every round.
NBA·Apr 21, 2026Who decides which jersey teams wear each game? We break down the process in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, from equipment managers to head coaches to the league office.
NBA·Apr 20, 2026We graded the three 2026 NBA Playoffs broadcast scorebugs from ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video. It's the first postseason under the new broadcast deal after TNT's exit. ABC takes #1 with an A-. NBC lands at B with a minimalist approach. Amazon Prime closes the ranking at B- in its playoff premiere.
NBA·Apr 20, 2026The San Antonio Spurs put a Fiesta-themed playoff shirt on every seat at Frost Bank Center for Game 1 against Portland. Then they did something no other NBA team would try. They used the arena cameras and the jumbotron to publicly single out anyone who had not put theirs on. The entire crowd complied within minutes. The arena ended up looking better than any playoff crowd in years.
NBA·Apr 19, 2026We graded all 18 NBA playoff courts used in Round 1 of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. The Lakers primary takes #1 with a perfect 10. The Suns court lands dead last at 3/10.

NBA·Apr 18, 2026The NBA will paint the Larry O'Brien Trophy at center court and The Finals script logo on the home team's floor for the 2026 NBA Finals. It's the first time the trophy has been on the court since 2009 and the first time the script has been back since 2014. We love it, we wish they'd go further, and we think the NBA Cup proves the safety argument was nonsense all along.

NBA·Apr 14, 2026Amazon Prime Video just aired the first game of the 2026 NBA postseason. We graded the new scorebug, the Play-In court branding, the Heat-Hornets jersey matchup, and the one mistake Charlotte made with their playoff t-shirts.

ESPN's NBA scorebug is the cleanest national broadcast design in basketball. The uniform-matching team colors and minimal layout earn it the top grade among all national scorebugs.
NBA·Apr 11, 2026We grabbed every local TV scorebug in the NBA for the 2026 season. All 30 teams ranked and organized by network. Almost half the league shares the same FanDuel template.
Thirteen NBA teams share the same FanDuel Sports Network scorebug in 2026. We break down why the design is too wide, too generic, and why almost half the league looking the same is a problem.
ESPN, Amazon Prime, and NBC Peacock each have their own NBA scorebug for the 2026 season. We ranked all three national broadcast scorebugs from best to worst.
The Celtics, Warriors, 76ers, and Kings all share the same NBC Sports scorebug template for the 2026 NBA season. We break down the design and grade it.
NBC Peacock's NBA scorebug has redundant abbreviations and does not feel grand enough for national TV. We review the full design and explain why it ranks last among the three national broadcasts.
Amazon Prime Video's NBA scorebug is clean and recognizable, but the blue shot clock is the real standout detail. We review the full design and grade it against ESPN and Peacock.
The Rockets scorebug fits their new rebrand direction. Modern and clean, but it does not do much to stand out. We review the design and give it our grade.
