The 2024 NBA
All-Star Game is quickly approaching and now fans have gotten their first taste of the jerseys that will be worn by the biggest names in the game during the highly-anticipated annual event.
On Thursday afternoon, the league revealed the Jordan Brand NBA All-Star 2024 uniforms. The jerseys are red for the Western Conference and blue for the Eastern Conference. Appearing rather simple and understated, the jerseys are meant to "celebrate the league and rich basketball history of Indiana," according to the league. All-Star Weekend will be held in Indianapolis on February 18. It's the first time since 1985 that Indiana has held the event.
"Designed from the idea that basketball was raised in Indiana, the uniforms are rooted in a nostalgic, heritage look that feature a tonal twist on the classic red and blue uniforms with cream lettering. The pinstripes are inspired by the iconic Pacers uniforms in the late 1990s and early 2000s,"
NBA.com stated.
The All-Star Game will look slightly different this year, returning to the traditional 12-minute quarters that it used for years. The NBA has done away with the unique format it used since 2020, which had a team needing to reach a certain target number to secure the win.
Last year's All-Star Game was met with bad reviews from fans, who felt it was filled with lackluster and lazy performances from players. The league is hoping that a return to form of the format will get players performing better this year and will give the fans what they want.
