Christmas Day is the biggest NBA showcase of the regular season. Five consecutive games stretch from the early afternoon until well after midnight. Thanks to Paul Lukas of Uniwatch we now know what the Pelicans would wear if they are one of the ten teams competing. Included are designs for 27 of the 30 teams. Lukas withheld the designs of the Milwaukee Bucks (about to reveal their new uniforms), Philadelphia Sixers (the same), and the Toronto Raptors (suspense).
As such, this uniform alone is not proof that the Pelicans will be playing on Christmas Day.
