Joey Bada$$, rapper and Brooklyn native, is one of many hip hop artists asked to design limited-edition jerseys for Mitchell & Ness and Bleacher Report’s latest NBA remix collection.
Bada$$’s version of the NBA remix jersey includes inspiration from the Nets 1970s jerseys when the team was based on Long Island. The jersey immediately caught the eyes of fans and Barclays Center endorsed the release. Bada$$ introduced the jersey on the Barclays Center practice court.
There’s no indication the Nets will wear the uniforms.
This is not the first time Bada$$ lent his native Brooklyn flavor to the Nets organization.
