The New Orleans Pelicans announced today the unveiling of the team’s 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition uniform that will be worn for select games throughout the NBA’s 75th Anniversary season.

“At the dawn of a new era of New Orleans basketball, Nike wanted to partner with the team to design a new Nike NBA City Edition Uniform that embodies the sense of possibility at the heart of the Pelicans today,” says Aaron Cain, VP/GM, Men’s, at NIKE, Inc. “This is a team built like their city — a city that ‘Won’t Bow Down,’ as the jersey’s anthem promises; a city that keeps striving to reach new heights.”

Behind The Design
No city knows how to rebound quite like New Orleans – and that’s what their basketball teams have done from the beginning. This franchise has always transformed itself for the future with the resilience, the pizzazz and the soul of the city it calls home.

This year’s Nike NBA City Edition uniform honors that tradition, celebrating the dawn of a new era of New Orleans basketball – with white jerseys featuring typography reminiscent of wrought iron, representing a canvas on which the team will write the next chapter of its history.

It also boasts red, gold and navy stripes, as well as the signature “NOLA” emblem, iconic fleurs-de-lis on the belt buckle in Mardi Gras gold, and an anthem that defines this team as much as it defines the city it calls home: “Won’t Bow Down.” The wordmark is representative of a flight formation, showing other teams in the league that the Pelicans are ready to take flight.

First Look: Pelicans 2020 City Edition Uniform

The New Orleans Pelicans today unveiled their latest City Edition uniform, which is heavily inspired by the municipal flag of New Orleans. The Pelicans will begin wearing these uniforms during the 2020-21 season.

The City Edition jersey mirrors the flag of New Orleans, featuring a large white base with three gold fleur-de-lis across the chest, bordered by a red stripe and blue stripe. The color scheme and design dates back to 1918 when the official flag was adopted by the City of New Orleans.

A city and team that prides itself on perseverance, strength and resilience, the 2020-21 Pelicans’ City Edition uniform represents the people of New Orleans that exemplify those characteristics every day.

“These jerseys embody who we are and why we love New Orleans,” said Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha. “Our fans never stop fighting and neither do we. We are proud to wear these jerseys to represent New Orleans on a national stage and can't wait to see our fans support their home team in this City Edition look.”

The waistband of the shorts features the Pelicans traditional “Fleur-De-Lis” logo. In addition, the uniform sports “NOLA” in gold font across the blue stripe on the shorts.

The Pelicans’ City Edition uniform will be available for purchase on Thursday, Dec. 3 at www.Pelicansteamstore.com and the Pelicans Team Shop located inside the Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr., New Orleans, LA 70113).
