On March 6, the LA Clippers unveiled the newest iteration of an NBA classic.
Take a look behind the scenes at the creation of the Clippers’ Nike City Edition jersey, which pays homage to the team’s San Diego roots through its iconic color scheme and tribute to the state of California.
The Beginning
Birthed as the Buffalo Braves in 1970, the team made its way from Buffalo, New York to San Diego, California in 1978 and officially became the San Diego Clippers. The team’s new moniker was a result of San Diego’s rich sailing history.
