When it comes to NBA uniforms, there is a new sheriff in town.

On Oct. 1, Nike will become the league's official apparel provider. And on Tuesday morning, the NBA and Nike unveiled some of the coming changes.

From the release:

"Coinciding with the introduction of the new uniforms, the NBA is eliminating its “Home” and “Road” uniform designations. Beginning with the 2017-18 season, home teams will pick which of their uniforms will be worn at all home games and visiting teams will choose a contrasting uniform within their own assortment.

Because of this change, Nike and the NBA worked together to create four core uniforms for each team, classified as “editions,” which draw from the rich heritage of the NBA and its respective franchises."

Warriors forward Draymond Green, a Nike client, said the following:

“When you look and feel good, you play good. I welcome any competitive advantage on the court and the new Nike NBA uniforms deliver on the feedback that we've provided."

The 2017-18 season will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 17.
