LOS ANGELES  – The LA Clippers have unveiled this year’s Nike NBA City Edition uniform, part of the 2021-22 “Moments Mixtape” theme. In celebration of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Season, this on-court collection was designed to showcase that teams are not defined by a single era, but by the iconic moments of a franchise.

This year’s Nike NBA City Edition uniform pays homage to milestones in Clippers history. The franchise’s roots in Buffalo, NY are represented on the waistband of the shorts by the Braves logo from the team’s inaugural 1970-71 NBA season. The uniform’s Pacific blue colorway symbolizes the franchise’s move from Western New York to San Diego and the iconic ocean views of Southern California. The jersey numbers and neck, arm, and short tape are a throwback to the 1984-85 uniform design, marking the team’s first season in Los Angeles. The iconic Clippers script wordmark is centralized on the front of the uniform representing the 2014-15 season. The uniform’s shorts feature the three white sails that were part of the original Clippers logo design, and part of the team’s first Nike NBA City Edition uniform in 2017-18. The team’s current culture and forward trajectory is represented by the present-day icon logo on the bottom side of the vent of the short.

The Clippers will first wear the new uniforms at home on November 13 against the Minnesota Timberwolves and during 10 other games throughout the 2021-22 season. Additionally, four Clippers home games this season will be “Remix” theme nights featuring music, game entertainment, and giveaway items highlighting the various eras of Clippers basketball. Remix nights will take place during the November 13 matchup against the Timberwolves, December 11 against the Orlando Magic, January 8 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, and April 9 against the Sacramento Kings.

The 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition uniform and merchandise will be available in the Clippers Fan Shop on November 15 at shop.clippers.com/. The collection features a variety of gear including custom-designed hoodies, jackets, hats, and a Nike shooting shirt.

The LA Clippers have partnered with globally renowned artist, Mister Cartoon, and LA-based graffiti and street artist Royyal Dog to celebrate the authentic spirit of LA street culture through this year's Nike City Edition uniform and merchandise collection. The 2020-21 City Edition uniform keeps the widely popular 'Los Angeles' wordmark from last season as the design's visual center on a black uniform with white accents.

The design is a symbol of the Clippers' commitment to Los Angeles and will help cultivate the next generation of talent in the city through the "Make Your Mark" campaign, which encourages LA youth to hone their art through practice and hard work and to strive for greatness. Through tireless effort, resiliency, and optimism, Mister Cartoon became a master of his craft and has inspired a generation of street artists like Royyal Dog to carve their paths and achieve their goals.

Once a month throughout the regular season, The Clippers and Mister Cartoon will host "Make Your Mark" digital workshops for high school students from organizations including Inner City Arts, the Los Angeles Unified School District and other LA-based school districts. During each session, 50 students will receive live, personalized instruction from Mister Cartoon via Zoom and a Clippers art kit containing all of the supplies needed for each workshop. Mister Cartoon will teach the students the techniques and methods that he has used to achieve global success.

“We are proud to represent a piece of this city’s culture and work with Mister Cartoon and Royyal Dog who serve as true examples of work ethic, dedication, and the all-out effort required to make a difference,” said Gillian Zucker, Clippers President of Business Operations. “This is more than a uniform unveiling. This is a commitment to inspire the next generation of Los Angeles creators, innovators, and disruptors and serve as a reminder that resiliency and passion are trademarks of the journey to Make Your Mark.”

“It’s been real cool working with the Clippers for the past two seasons,” said Mister Cartoon. “Our focus has been to motivate the youth and encourage them to have a work ethic like pro athletes do. We've connected with the heart and soul of Los Angeles. I'm looking forward to furthering the partnership this season to inspire the young creators and artists in the city and positively impact our community."

“It's an incredible opportunity to partner with the Clippers and an honor to work alongside Mister Cartoon, a pioneer and influence on artists all over the world,” said Royyal Dog. “Hip hop culture and artists like Mister Cartoon are what made me want to come to LA and continue to express myself through my art. I hope kids in this city can find that kind of inspiration from my work and journey.”

Led by Mister Cartoon's signature black and white color palette, the Clippers logo and wordmark appear three places on the new City Edition uniform. The primary icon is near the short hem and, keeping with the jersey’s black and white theme, is one-color, white. The secondary icon is on the uniform's belt with a white outline and black fill, an update from last year's full-color icon. The third placement features the Clippers wordmark in white above the jersey jock tag.

The 2020-21 City Edition Jersey and merchandise collection featuring a variety of gear showcasing the new white-on-black colorway will be available in the Clippers Fan Shop on December 3rd. Additionally, the Clippers, Mister Cartoon, and Royyal Dog are challenging Angelenos to “Make Their Mark” and design their own City Edition inspired t-shirt for the chance to have it featured in a special edition capsule collection that will be available to all fans in January 2021.

Fans can get more information about the merchandise collection and Make Your Mark campaign and competition, as well as receive first-in-line privileges for the City Edition collection drop, at www.clippers.com/cityedition.
