The way I understand it, every team has an Earned jersey designed, but they're only used if the team makes the playoffs.

 

Which makes sense why they're basically recolored jerseys and nothing "new"

Has Harley-Davidson officially not renewed?

 

There is no Harley-Davidson logo on City jersey so I guess they didn't or they are into negotiating of new deal.

Same with Sacramento, there is no Blue Almonds logo on City jersey.

Many patch deals expired after last season. We've already seen some movement to new sponsors by teams including the Heat and Clippers.

 

There was widespread speculation that Harley would either not be able to afford a renewal or would not be interested in renewing due to financial reasons.

Can't imagine many NBA fans are running out to buy Harleys. It's always nice to see a local company snag the sponsorship, but it never made sense to me.

not sure you guys saw this beauty. But would be an interesting alternate 1-off uniform. I love the idea of a Raptor on vacation look.

Rockets:

 

Hawks City court:

That Rockets uniform is pretty awful all around. Should’ve leaned on light blue/red/white; not sure why they felt the need to shoehorn in navy and gray.

Would have looked like Sacramento Kings throwbacks in just light blue, red, white.

No, and no. 

@Conrad. So if the earned’s aren’t just recolorizations of the city’s, do they have a theme or does each team have their own unique design?

[T]he Heat will release another new look later this season as part of the Nike Earned Edition uniforms for teams that made the playoffs last season. That Heat uniform is expected to be released in late spring.

 

“The Earned Edition campaign really kind of flows from Nike,” McCullough said. “They talk to the teams about what the possibilities are. This year’s Earned uniform, what they wanted every team to do … is really kind of take one of your existing team colors and play with that, basically. Make it hyper this or really play up this aspect of your team colors. What you’ll see from us this year for our Earned uniform is something that stays along those lines, as far as taking an existing team color and playing with it. We’ve taken a color that we haven’t used a lot of and haven’t focused on a lot, and created something that we’re really excited about for Earned.”

As much as I would love for Miami to wear an orange uniform, I think it’d more likely be gold since they said “existing” team color. 
 

That said, I’m honestly not sure what constitutes “existing” team colors in the NBA right now; I would assume (and hope) that means primary colors, but would “existing” city edition colors be on the table too?

I wonder what the Magic earned will be?

They’ve had all black (tuxedo) and all red jerseys (red and white)...sounds like yellow jerseys are coming...though Conrad liked the orange jersey comment.

Im putting my money down on American Family or Kwip Trip getting the Bucks' jersey sponsorship.

I don't know what else Brooklyn can do with their earned, they already have a grey uniform.

I think most people imagined the same colored jersey when they read the description but some people call it yellow and some call it orange. After looking at it i'd call it a very orange yellow. It's like as orange as yellow can be without officially being orange. The uniform could end up being Laker-esk

I would say this new one is worse. Only because the Mecca-inspired city uniform gave birth to the outstanding Earned set that came after it. I miss that one so much.

 

 

Im still in love with this jersey
