adidas and the Golden State Warriors pulled back the curtain on the latest front in NBA uniforms yesterday, unveiling the all-new Revolution 30 short sleeve jersey at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.
The gold and blue jersey is “the first modern short sleeve NBA Uniform System” and made from 60 percent recycled materials. Revolution 30 tech provides light weight comfort and dries twice as fast to improve performance. adidas’ ClimaCool and FORMOTION have been included in the jersey to enhance comfort.
“Players on every court like to have a unique sense of style,” said Lawrence Norman, vice president, adidas global basketball. “We were excited to work side-by-side for the last 18 months with the Warriors, one of the NBA’s youngest and most exciting teams, to develop this unique uniform system that helps maintain peak player performance while ensuring comfort, fit and style.”
Additional details on the unveiling and detailed photos including Warriors coach Mark Jackson, President/COO Rick Welts, players Harrison Barnes, Jarrett Jack and Klay Thompson, and adidas VP of Global Basketball Lawrence Norman ahead. Look for extensive product and player photo shoot stills, too.
In addition to being the Warriors’ lightest uniform to date, the adizero short sleeve NBA Uniform System features the first-ever super lightweight stretch woven short with maximum ventilation for player comfort. The jersey includes armhole insets with 360-degree stretch fabric that facilitates free range of motion for the arms and shoulders. The adizero short sleeve jersey allows for maximum movement in all phases of the game, equal with that of a traditional tank basketball jersey.
Throughout the evaluation process, adidas received positive feedback from players at all levels on the uniform’s performance and innovative style. “When adidas began working with us to develop the short sleeve jersey, I couldn’t wait to wear it in a game,” said Warriors forward Harrison Barnes. “I love the fit and style the sleeves give me on the court.”
“Partnering with adidas on this new uniform demonstrates the Warriors’ commitment to innovation and the progressive culture of the Bay Area,” said Rick Welts, president and chief operating officer of the Golden State Warriors. “The jerseys complement our players’ style on the court, but are also a nod to the style of our fans and the spirit of the Bay Area – innovation is ingrained in our culture.”
The adizero short sleeve NBA Uniform System is 26 percent lighter than the Warriors’ current uniforms and will debut for the first time when the team faces the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, February 22 on ESPN and Comcast SportsNet Bay Area at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. The Warriors will wear the uniforms for two additional Friday home games during the 2012-13 season including March 8 vs. the Houston Rockets and March 15 vs. the Chicago Bulls.
Swingman versions are available for pre-sell on NBAStore.com and on WarriorsTeamStore.com, the official online team shop of the Golden State Warriors.
Limited Edition Boxed Authentic Jerseys will be available for purchase at the Warriors Team Store inside Oracle Arena beginning Feb. 20. Swingman Jerseys will be available for purchase at the Warriors Team Store inside Oracle Arena beginning Feb.22 and at the adidas Sport Performance Store in downtown San Francisco and the NBA Store by Feb. 25.














I love the Yellow Home-colors, I’m not sold on the sleeves though, Basketball is an indoor sports, and very much about ‘the look’, I don’t think sleeves improve the look.
HELL NO!!!!! LOOKS LIKE A DAMN SOCCER JERSEY!!! THAT IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN!!!
I am all behind Adidas, but I don’t know about this. Personally, I’ve never felt comfortable playing in short sleeves. I always wound up cutting the sleeves off of the short sleeve shirts, while playing in tourney’s. However, this will be good pub for Adi, as people will be talking about the brand.
They couldn’t come up with better matching shorts.
They couldn’t even make the shorts the same shade of yellow? That’s what kills it for me
I try to keep an open mind about stuff, but they look weird…especially those striped shorts; they look like some boxers. SMDH…god damn you, NBA, you and your advertising dollars…
i really dont understand the need for the sleeves
bfears – airsyd pointed it out, ads.. and lots of it.. imagine the sizes of those players arms.. billboard space i tell you!!
