The speculation gained traction after the Detroit Pistons revealed their 2025-26 City Edition uniform. That design notably blends the team's iconic 1990s teal-era color palette with the specific template and graphic elements of their 2021-22 City Edition uniform, creating a familiar yet fresh look.
This immediately led to social media buzz suggesting a potential league-wide trend: could all 2025-26 NBA City Edition uniforms be recolored versions of past City designs? Basketball Jersey Archive has no leaked info about the NBA 2025-26 City Edition jerseys by Nike yet.
While this rumor remains unconfirmed, there is some precedent for revisiting City Edition concepts. Several teams – including the Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers, among others – utilized the same base designs for both their 2023-24 and 2024-25 City Edition uniforms, merely alternating between home and road presentations.
