Summary
Brooklyn, Denver, Indiana and San Antonio on Monday revealed Classic Edition uniforms tied to the 50th anniversary of the 1976 NBA-ABA merger.
The designs revive each franchise’s ABA-era look: the Nets channel the New York Nets, the Pacers copy their 1971-74 road set, the Spurs reproduce their 1973 San Antonio debut uniform, and Denver nods to the old Rockets identity.
Brooklyn will debut its set on Oct. 21 opening night, San Antonio on Nov. 4 against Dallas, and Denver on Dec. 27 versus Indiana; the Pacers said they will wear theirs for 15 games.
All four teams are also pairing the jerseys with throwback courts or retro game-night elements, extending the anniversary tribute beyond uniforms for the 2026-27 season.
