In a monumental achievement earlier this month, the Denver Nuggets secured their first-ever NBA championship title over the Miami Heat. Following their success, a distinguished gold tab now embellishes the back collar, marking a new chapter in franchise history.
Denver Nuggets Add Gold NBA Championship Tab to Jersey
Introduced prior to the 2014-15 season, the gold tab adorning NBA jerseys has become an iconic symbol. Depicting the prestigious Larry O'Brien Trophy behind the number one, it signifies the number of championships won by each franchise.
Notably, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers hold the record with an impressive 17 titles apiece.

However, this accomplishment also highlights the 11 franchises that have yet to claim this distinguished honor. The Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz remain determined to etch their names into the annals of NBA history, aspiring to one day adorn their jerseys with the famous gold tab.
