The Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs officially debuted their Classic Edition uniforms for the upcoming 2026-27 season on Monday.

They rebranded to the Nuggets in 1974 with a fresh color palette, but the old orange and black will be back for seven games this season with a throwback court design.
