The Brooklyn Nets are bringing timeless classics back to the hardwood.
On Monday, the Nets unveiled their ABA-inspired Classic Edition uniforms and commemorative court ahead of the franchise’s 60th season. Both are set to debut on October 21 against the Charlotte Hornets.
The throwback kit features the red, white and blue worn by the Nets in their American Basketball Association (ABA) years. The design connects the franchise’s original roots to the 50th anniversary of the ABA-NBA merger.

Here’s the full schedule of when they will wear them…
The Classic Edition uniform and court are part of a broader celebration planned throughout the 2026-27 season. Brooklyn will host six “Eras Nights” featuring alumni appearances, era-inspired entertainment, in-arena activations and giveaways. For example, the Nets have reportedly invited all living players and coaches from their 1976 ABA championship to Barclays for the ABA celebration on November 18.
The Nets adopted their current name in 1968 and wore this version of their red, white and blue uniform through 1972. The look predates Julius Erving’s arrival and Brooklyn’s ABA championship runs.
Meanwhile, the court will feature several tributes to the franchise’s history. The Nets’ 60th-season logo, also red, white and blue, will appear at center court, while a logo incorporating past team branding will run along the sideline. The names of more than 575 players who have worn a Nets jersey will appear across the court apron, with the baseline recognizing the 50th anniversary of the ABA-NBA merger.
“The Classic Edition uniform and special-edition court give fans a new way to experience the history of this franchise,” said Becky Kimbro, Senior VP of Marketing, BSE. “This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate every era of Nets basketball and the people who have shaped the franchise. From our ABA roots to the generations of players who have worn a Nets jersey, these elements honor where we have been while continuing to write the next chapter of Nets basketball in Brooklyn.”
