The NBA officially unveiled the full lineup of alternate Nike NBA City Edition jerseys on Tuesday, with each team “remixing” a design from a previous season.

The NBA debuted City Edition jerseys in the 2017-2018 season to pay homage to elements of each team’s city history, culture or landmarks. NBA teams will wear the Nike NBA City Edition jerseys at designated home games throughout the season.

Following his shocking trade from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, cornerback Sauce Gardner reacted to a video of a young fan expressing his dismay over the move.

In response to a viral video of a child crying, screaming and stomping his feet after being informed of the trade, Gardner gifted the fan a pair of signed Colts jerseys:

It came after he joked that the father “should’ve at least waited til tomorrow” before breaking the news:

On a trade deadline day that featured multiple big moves, none was more surprising or significant than the Jets shipping Gardner to the Colts.

Despite having just signed Gardner to a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension in July, the Jets decided to part with him less than four months later.

Amid a 1-7 start, the Jets sent Gardner to the Colts in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and second-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

That was only the start of the Jets’ fire sale, though, as they also agreed to send three-time Pro Bowl and one-time First Team All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.

The 25-year-old Gardner brought back the biggest haul, which is unsurprising given his age and history of success.

Originally selected fourth overall by the Jets in the 2022 NFL draft, Gardner was a Pro Bowler and First Team All-Pro in each of his first two seasons, along with being the 2022 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

He was neither a Pro Bowler nor All-Pro last season, finishing with 49 tackles and nine passes defended, but he did record only the third interception of his career.

So far this season, Gardner has 20 tackles, six passes defended and no picks in seven games played.

Now, Gardner goes from the bottom of the AFC to the top, as the Colts are tied for the best record in the conference at 7-2.

Gardner hasn’t done much winning at all during his NFL career thus far, but he has been thrust into a playoff race, and has a chance to make a sizable impact for a contending team.

Both Maple Leafs and Sabres players showed up at Scotiabank Arena sporting the same jerseys on Saturday afternoon.

Despite finding themselves in the throes of a home-and-home battle, players from both sides of the border showed up in Blue Jays jerseys to support the MLB organization they share an allegiance to.

The Blue Jays roster for Game 2 of the World Series (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, Sportsnet, Sportsnet+) includes many Buffalo Bisons graduates from Toronto’s minor league affiliate.

Leafs players have made it a point to don Blue Jays gear as they get set for their showdowns, with the NHL relaxing its dress code over the off-season.

After Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. showed up to Game 7 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners in an Auston Matthews jersey, the Maple Leafs captain returned the favour with a Jays shirt ahead of Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.

The hockey clash that was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. ET was moved to 5 p.m. ET to accommodate the Fall Classic after the Blue Jays advanced to the World Series.

The Maple Leafs lost the first of two consecutive games against the Buffalo Sabres 5-3 on Friday. While the Blue Jays stopped the Los Angeles Dodgers to the tune of 11-4 in Game 1 of the World Series.

When teams went bonkers for using the color black in their designs in the 90s, the most egregious offenders were teams that didn’t even have black as one of their team colors. However, when the Chicago Blackhawks introduced a solid black alternate jersey that basically just took the design of their red and white jerseys and used black instead, it was relatively perfect.

If you can excuse the team’s history of legendary sweaters and how red and white with the now significantly past its prime crest was always their look, switching it to black was a radical move. It was akin to messing with perfection, and in a way, it still is. However, if something looks good, it works, and this jersey works.

Chicago’s team colors are red, black, and white, and they hadn’t had a mostly black jersey since the 1930s, which was surprising. The ‘Hawks have done numerous different types of jerseys that are all sort of similar, thanks to their various outdoor game appearances, but when they brought this particular alternate back for the 2014 Stadium Series, it made sense.

Sure, Chicago wasn’t very good when they had these jerseys the first time around, but bringing them back now, as they’re about to emerge from a rebuild, would help put it over the top.

The Quebec Nordiques are back — at least in uniform form.

On Tuesday morning, the Colorado Avalanche unveiled their Nordiques specialty jerseys, a tribute to the franchise’s history.

The Avalanche were founded as a WHA club in Quebec City during the league’s inaugural 1972 season, eventually moving to the NHL in 1979 with the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Hartford Whalers. In 1995, the Nordiques were purchased by then-Denver Nuggets owners COMSAT Entertainment Group, moved to Colorado and were renamed the Avalanche. The team has played in the Centennial State since.

The club’s throwbacks draw inspiration from a number of Quebecois elements. The color scheme is blue, red and white, a nod to the French flag and the province’s French-Canadian roots. The fleur-de-lis motif is also featured prominently, a similar honoring of French-Canadian pride and the province’s own flag.

The jersey’s central logo is an igloo designed to resemble the shape of the letter N and a hockey stick with a puck. The igloo motif pays homage to Quebec’s northern regions — “Nordiques” does translate to “Northerners” in English, after all.

Enhancing the throwback vibes is the fact that the Avalanche’s first game in their specialty uniforms will come against another team paying homage to its former roots.

On Thursday, Colorado will debut their new threads in a matchup that could pass for a WHA tribute game. Their opponent will be the Carolina Hurricanes… who are donning their own Hartford Whalers throwbacks. The Whalers officially relocated and rebranded to the Hurricanes in 1997, two years after the Nordiques became the Avalanche.

Colorado will play seven total games in their Nordiques specialty uniforms across the 2025-26 season.

As part of their 30th anniversary season, the Colorado Avalanche will pay tribute to to the team’s time spent north of the border.

The Avalanche announced on Tuesday that they will wear Quebec Nordiques specialty jerseys for seven regular-season games this season.

It’s not the first time the Avalanche have worn Nordiques-inspired jerseys, as they also did in the 2021 season.

But this season’s jersey will feature the classic blue, red and white colour palette that is inspired by the France flag and symbolizes the importance of Quebec’s French-Canadian roots.

The Nordiques were first established in 1972-73 as part of the World Hockey Association. They joined the NHL as part of the NHL-WHA merger in 1978-79.

Over 16 seasons in Quebec, the team made it to the conference finals twice.

The Nordiques relocated to Colorado in 1995-96 and won the Stanley Cup in their inaugural season as the Avalanche.

Here is the full list of games in which the Avalanche will wear the Nordiques jerseys this season:

• Oct. 23, 2025, vs. Carolina Hurricanes
• Nov. 29, 2025, vs. Montreal Canadiens
• Jan. 3, 2026, at Carolina Hurricanes
• Jan. 12, 2026, vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
• March 16, 2026, vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
• April 1, 2026, vs. Vancouver Canucks
• April 11, 2026, vs. Vegas Golden Knights

Tyrese Haliburton may not have a specific MLB team he roots for, but he certainly isn’t a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Indiana Pacers star has made it clear he’s not rooting for the Brewers in the MLB playoffs in recent days. He wore a Chicago Cubs jersey to a Pacers preseason game on Saturday and wore a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey to Indiana’s game on Monday during Game 1 of the NLCS.

Haliburton is from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which is just about an hour away from Milwaukee, so if he were to have an MLB team, it would seemingly be the Brewers. However, he’s clearly grown to dislike Milwaukee—or at least its sports teams—in recent years.

The Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are division rivals and see each other four times a year. Their rivalry has intensified over the last two years as well, since Indiana has eliminated Milwaukee in the playoffs in each of the last two years.

As if Haliburton didn’t have enough of a reason not to like the Bucks, his former teammate Myles Turner signed with Milwaukee this offseason after spending the first 10 years of his career in Indiana. Turner also called out Pacers fans following his exit.

Haliburton won’t have the chance to take on the Bucks during the season since he’s out for the year with a torn Achilles he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The 25-year-old is coming off a season in which he averaged 18.6 points and 9.2 assists before putting together one of the most memorable postseason runs in recent memory.

Maybe Haliburton isn’t trolling the Brewers and just happens to be a fan of both the Cubs and Dodgers, though that seems unlikely. If Milwaukee advances to the World Series and Haliburton wears either a Seattle Mariners or Toronto Blue Jays jersey, fans will know for sure his intention behind the jerseys.

The Warriors’ open practice last week delivered more than drills and shooting — it gave us a priceless sibling moment.

Seth Curry donned No. 30 while Steph sported No. 31, swapping their usual jersey numbers for the day in a playful nod to their shared basketball lineage.

Steph Curry has been a Warrior for life. Drafted by Golden State in 2009, he has become the face of the franchise, a multi-time MVP and champion. He has worn No. 30 for all 16 seasons of his Warriors career, a number thatâ€s become part of his identity as much as his shooting form.

So when his younger brother joined Golden State, one question lingered: what number would Seth Curry take?

He wasnâ€t able to secure No. 30 from Steph.

“I tried to buy it from him,†Seth joked. “He said he didnâ€t need the money.â€Â

Seth actually has worn No. 30 for most of his own career, including recent stints with the Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Hornets. Before that, he spent two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers wearing No. 31, and earlier in his career bounced between 30, 31 and 10 as he moved from team to team.

This NBA season is the first time since Seth entered the league as an undrafted rookie in 2013 that the two have shared a training camp, finally taking the floor as teammates instead of competitors.

The 35-year-old joined the Warriors on an Exhibit 9 contract, which allows him to participate in training camp and the preseason. Because of the NBAâ€s second-apron restrictions, Golden State will need to waive him before finalizing its roster — but the team can re-sign him as early as Nov. 11 while staying under the tax threshold.

The lighthearted jersey swap at open practice gave Warriors fans a glimpse of the brothers†easy chemistry — and a reminder of how rare it is to see both Currys on the same court.

Steph remains the Warriors†cornerstone, while Seth begins a new chapter in familiar territory, wearing a familiar number — just not No. 30.

As if a season-opener wasn’t intriguing enough, the Los Angeles Kings opted for even more theatrics.

The L.A. club surprised its fans by revealing new third jerseys ahead of the Kings’ matchup against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, with no prior heads up.

Fans got their first on-ice look at the new threads when Anze Kopitar — to start his final NHL season — walked out of the tunnel for player intros at Crypto.com Arena, after the team warmed up in their usual home uniforms.

The Kings posted a detailed look at the jerseys on social media, accompanied by the caption, “Proud to wear Our Crown.”

Their latest alternate jerseys are inspired by the team’s original look from 1967, featuring a silver and black crown emblem in the middle. Players will also sport silver chrome helmets to complete the ensemble.

The Kings’ new sweaters mark the ninth iteration of their third jerseys, as Los Angeles was part of the NHL’s initial launch of the Third Jersey Program for the 1995-96 season with their “Burger King” jerseys, famously sported by Wayne Gretzky.

L.A.’s previous third jerseys, which they wore from 2021-2024, were primarily white with black and silver stripes and also featured chrome helmets.

As for the surprise reveal, it appears to be the second time the franchise has unveiled new jerseys in such fashion. In 2008, the Kings warmed up in their usual black and purple home uniforms but then switched to their now iconic “home plate” jerseys for puck drop.

For all the new signings, coaches, tactics and even stadiums on display, there is always one aspect of a fresh season that we tend to revel in more than most; the worldwide flurry of exciting new home, away, third and fourth kits that inevitably come with the arrival of a new campaign.

With several weeks of the 2025-26 season already played, you’ve had plenty of time to become acquainted with many of the various new jerseys that have been released by the clubs populating the top leagues around the globe.

We’ve already scoured, rated and slated a number of the kits unveiled by the big sides across Europe, with Liverpool leaving it late to unveil one of the loveliest shirts that you’ll see in the Premier League this season.

– Premier League kit ranking: Every 2025-26 jersey released
– How clubs got their colors: soccer’s historic, iconic jerseys
– Concept, design, launch: How a Premier League kit is created

However, as is generally the case, there are also many sides just below the elite level that have made it their business to produce high-fashion and slickly stylish designs. You know the ones: the kind that send both supporters and kit aficionados into a flurry of excitement, setting them off on quests to acquire said kits for their own personal collections.

It’s become our mission to help draw attention to these kits lest they go completely under the radar, which would be utterly unforgivable judging by the amount of truly chic new football shirts that have been rolled out over the past few months.

AFC Ajax

Having vastly upped their game over the past decade, Ajax just don’t seem to miss with their third shirts these days, and the 2025-26 model is certainly worthy of inclusion. The light beige jersey has minimal blue and maroon trim, but the real star of the show is the achingly beautiful historic crest, which dates from 1928 and has returned to the Amsterdam giants’ kit this season to mark their 125th anniversary.

Club Atlético Aldosivi

They may not be the most famous football club from the Buenos Aires province, but Aldosivi have certainly made a bold claim to being the best dressed with the launch of an exquisitely stylish third shirt. It is inspired by their coastal locale and the Italian fisherman who travelled to their Argentine port city of Mar del Plata and bought their Catholic faith with them — hence all the religious iconography printed within the lush green stripes.

UD Almeria

An away kit that pays testament to the skills of local craftspeople, Spanish club Almeria’s funky blue kit is notable for the wonderful sunflower mosaic pattern covering the main trunk of the shirt. Inspired by Andalusian ceramic art, the graphic is specifically intended to resemble the kind of ornamentation found on plates and tableware in the Spanish region.

With several high-profile players on board for 2025-26 (including Paul Pogba, Eric Dier and Ansu Fati) it’s only fitting that Les Monegasques look the part too. Pairing nicely with that emblematic red and white home shirt, the away variant is a sumptuous deep blue-and-gold design that features a swirled pattern in the material, which itself is inspired by the brushed sand and tranquil zen of Monaco’s idyllic Japanese Garden.

Volt Sport

It’s perhaps fitting that Avaí launched their prim new home kit with help from the Riachuelo Nautical Club as the jersey itself could easily pass for a vintage Etonian rowing shirt. Simple, elegant and the use of rich, lustrous colours just oozes class.

Adidas

A late addition to Adidas’ phalanx of gorgeous retro third kits, Bayern’s latest Oktoberfest jersey is perhaps the finest yet thanks to its muted cream and minty green colourway to the traditional embroidering around the crest. The jersey also implements a “two birds with one stone” approach to marking anniversaries, being a nod to both Bayern’s 125th birthday and it being 190 years since the first Weisn celebrations took place in Munich.

Bodo/Glimt

Technically designated as the Norwegian club’s “third alternate kit,” the icy blue-and-white design is inspired by the enormous Svartisen glacier and as such features a crystalline, geometric graphic. Bodo/Glimt are also keen to draw attention to the fact that Svartisen is gradually melting and thus issue a stark reminder that it could completely disappear within the next few decades if climate change is not urgently addressed.

Burton Albion

It feels weird to say, but Burton Albion are actually one of the best-dressed teams in European football this season thanks to a batch of kits created by TAG sportswear. The home kit is a half-and-half design inspired by the first shirt the Brewers ever wore but the corresponding away kit — resplendent in bottle blue — is a cut above.

Inspired by the River Trent that flows through the town and has powered its famous brewing industry for centuries, the shirt also has a rippled print in the fabric and is capped off by that sumptuous monogrammed club crest.

CD Cádiz

A dark red-and-gold design that comes with a gridded print inspired by traditional southern Spanish art and in particular the delicate patterns of ceramic azulejo tiles which have been used to adorn houses, churches, palaces, restaurants, schools, train stations and other such buildings all across Iberia since the 13th century.

CE Jupiter home (Meyba)

CE Jupiter

Jupiter are a regional Catalonian club who are based in Barcelona and play just across the city from the Camp Nou. Playing in a similar striped Blaugrana kit to their more illustrious cross-town neighbours, the team from Camp Municipal La Verneda have mixed things up this season with a washed-out colour palette and a set of retro gold names and numbers that are utterly, utterly dreamy. It’s like looking at the best kit LaLiga giants Barcelona never had.

Dynamo Dresden

When it comes to consistent colours, Dresden have never played in anything other than gold-and-black at home so the base palette of their 2025-26 strip shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. However, closer inspection reveals that the material is actually pressed with a flocked motif inspired by the famous Zwiebelmuster (blue onion pattern) that was created by the Meissen porcelain factory in 1739 and went onto become one of the most popular ceramic designs in the world, having now been in production for over three centuries.

FC Cologne

It just so happens that 2025 is both the 77th anniversary of FC Cologne and the 777th anniversary of the Kölner Domkirche cathedral, which has stood in the centre of the German city since 1248. As such, the Billy Goats have produced a limited edition anniversary kit that on first inspection appears to be a fairly standard black-and-gold jersey. Look closer, and you will find that the material also has a lavish repeating pattern inspired by the cathedral’s masonry work and internal decor.

FC Luzern anniversary kit (Errea)

FC Luzern

Swiss side Luzern have marked their anniversary by releasing a special edition “1901” strip that is dripping with class. Pre-emptively marking next summer’s 125th birthday in style, the dark navy ensemble has classy taping over the shoulders and the name of their hometown proudly stamped across the midriff in large white lettering. Lovely.

Flamengo

Adidas have produced a range of delightful retro-infused third shirts for their biggest clients this season with Liverpool, Manchester United, AS Roma and Lyon to name but a selection of the notable beneficiaries. However, for our money Flamengo have landed the best of the bunch with an off-white and gold design that also features subtle horizontal “waves” and an elegant club crest that both nod toward the Brazilian side’s origins as a rowing club.

Gremio

This effort is a luxurious purple-and-gold number that comes complete with a polo collar and a stylish, sublimated print made up of the various flora and fauna of the Brazilian pampas grasslands, and the Gaucho ranchers that still work the land there. The hope is to raise awareness about local environmental preservation, and of course to look ridiculously sharp while doing so.

Vitória SC

In what might be a first as far as football kit design is concerned, Vitória de Guimarães’s new third kit is apparently inspired by the colours and markings of the indoor basketball court at the club’s multi-sport facility. The shirt itself is a lesson in how shirt can stand out with a simple design and bold colour choices.

Hibernian anniversary kit (Joma)

Hibernian

Mimicking the very first shirt ever worn by Hibs precisely 150 years ago, the all-white “Heritage” kit is almost ghostly in appearance with just the original Irish harp club crest picked out in black. It’s said that the team played their first match against Hearts on Christmas Day in 1875, with all players instructed to turn up wearing a white knitted Guernsey sweater with the harp stitched onto the chest.

1.FC Kaiserslautern

While Kaiserslautern’s regulation home kit for the new season is nothing to write home about, the anniversary shirt that was released alongside it most certainly bears a second look. The deep, blood red-and-gold design also has darker stripes that are actually made up from fragments of all of the German club’s former crests, taking in every iteration of the side over the past 125 years — from the current logo, to that of FC 1900 Kaiserslautern and even FC Bavaria, 1902 Kaiserslautern and FV Phönix Kaiserslautern, all of which merged throughout the 1920s to form the club we know today.

Newport County

In a somewhat unlikely turn of events, Welsh side Newport linked arms with Athletic Club to celebrate the historic friendship between the two clubs that stretches back almost 100 years. It all began during the Spanish civil war of 1937 when thousands of Basque children were evacuated to Britain, many of whom were taken in and cared for by the local community in Newport.

To mark that special relationship, the League Two club have produced a red-and-white striped away kit that actually somehow looks better than anything Athletic have ever worn, at least in recent memory.

Oxford United

While the design itself is fairly straightforward, we simply have to commend Oxford for creating a third shirt in the most eye-popping shade of teal imaginable. Positively luminous, the base tone is then lifted into the stratosphere by the addition of neon pink trim. The teal is a visual reference to the oxidised copper that sits atop Oxford’s iconic spires while the pink is a nod to the gaudy spray-paint that was used to vandalise the city’s famous Ox statue in 2011.

It’s loud and lairy, but we love it all the same.

Real Avila

Usually draped in red and blue, the 2025-26 Real Avila home kit is pinker than usual and all the more handsome for it. Looking like it was airdropped straight out of the 1980s, the shirt has a slimline cut, shoulder taping and the very snazziest of geometric prints.

Sampdoria

The blue, banded Sampdoria home kit is an undeniable, tried and true staple of the classic football kit sphere and rarely does it ever look anything less than resplendent. Having tinkered with the design slightly in recent years, it’s nice to see that Macron have done the decent thing and kept the creative flourishes to a minimum this season, instead letting that beautiful Blucerchiati band take centre stage.

FC Shakhtar

While renowned for their glaring orange home kit, Ukrainian side Shakhtar have opted for a pale cream-and-gold third shirt this year which also bears an all-over repeating pattern inspired by their club insignia. The logos are all applied in a burnished tone to add to the opulent feel and the national colours of blue and yellow border the central crest itself as a subtle, yet proud, display of unity and strength.

Sorrento Calcio

Sorrento have been the talk of the town in football kit circles this summer after releasing a slew of wonderfully deluxe 2025-26 jerseys that are all inspired by Mediterranean culture. The home version is a salute to Renaissance art and in particular local Sorrentine wood inlay work, the type of which can be found on the elaborate writing desk at the Correale Museum of Sorrento.

The five diamonds “inlaid” across the chest are also a symbol of the Neapolitan city and appear on the coat of arms.

Venezia FC

With kits designed in collaboration with Drake’s Nocha fashion label, Venezia are aiming to become the hippest football club on planet Earth and on the evidence provided, they are making a decent fist of it. The Italian side’s latest away kit is based on silhouettes of classic strips of yore, with smart detailing borrowed from the Venetian Renaissance masters. The beige body looks almost silken, and the claret shoulder yoke coupled with the orange-and-green checkered trim just finishes the whole thing off perfectly.

BSC Young Boys

We thought Young Boys knocked it out of the park with their aquamarine away kit last season but if anything, they’ve somehow managed to step things up for 2025-26 with a blushed rose, claret and gold shirt inspired by the fabulously ornate fountains that are dotted all around Bern old town. It’s also worth pointing out that the Swiss side’s initialised crest is an absolute beauty and would enhance just about any kit.
