The Portland Trail Blazers are the latest team to reveal a new uniform design for the 2020-21 season.
The Blazers unveiled on Thursday their Nike City Edition design, which pays homage to the team’s home state of Oregon. According to the team, “the uniform celebrates the unique beauty of Oregon’s landscape as well as acknowledging and honoring the tribal nations throughout what is now considered Oregon who have called this land their home from the beginning.”
The lead design element is earth tone colors, representing the beautiful landscape of Oregon.
