Earned Edition

The Pacers unveiled a new uniform on Wednesday, as Nike and the NBA officially revealed the 2020-21 Nike NBA Earned Edition uniform collection, an exclusive collection of uniforms available only to the teams that reached the 2020 NBA Playoffs.

The Pacers' Earned Edition uniform is a modern take on the classic gold pinstripe alternate uniforms the team originally wore from 1997-2005. The pinstripes in the Earned Edition uniform run at a diagonal, evoking the ray lines on the Pacers' new Nike uniforms that debuted in 2017. While the original pinstripe jerseys (in white, blue, and gold) and the blue 2020-21 City Edition jerseys all say "INDIANA" across the chest, the Earned Edition uniform says "PACERS."

The Earned Edition jersey also features special silver insignias including a silver Nike swoosh on the top left front of the uniforms, a silver Earned Edition jocktag on the bottom right front, and a silver NBA logo on the back, above the player's name. Each pair of shorts additionally features a silver Nike swoosh and silver Nike logo as well.

This is the second time the NBA has released Earned Edition uniforms for teams that made the playoffs the previous season. They originally debuted the concept during the 2018-19 season.

The Pacers will first wear their new Earned Edition uniforms on Wednesday, March 17, when they host the Brooklyn Nets at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. A limited quantity of jerseys will be available for purchase on March 18 at PacersTeamStore.com.

After making the 2018 postseason, the Pacers are one of 16 teams able to rock a Nike NBA Earned Edition uniform. The Pacers will wear the new threads for the first time on December 28th's meeting with the Detroit Pistons at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Earned Edition uniform becomes the sixth uniform in rotation for the Pacers this season, joining the Association, Icon, Hickory, City, and Statement. Fans can purchase the Earned Edition uniform online or in-person at the Pacers Team Store, starting on December 19th.

The new threads are a variation of the Pacers' City Edition, swapping out the gray in favor of white.

"Indiana's Earned Edition uniform pays further homage to the state's racing heritage," explains Nike. "'Always Lead' (above the jock tag) carries over from the City Edition uniform."

In addition to the December 28th game, the Pacers will wear the uniforms on 1/4, 1/8, 1/30, 1/31, 2/2, 2/5, and 3/14.
