The Brooklyn Nets are gearing up for an exciting season, blending local pride with thrilling basketball action. This season, the Nets are all about celebrating Brooklyn's unique spirit, culture, and community. From special events to iconic jersey designs, they're making it clear that being a part of the Nets family means being a part of Brooklyn itself.
Brooklyn Pride in Action
The Nets are kicking things off with a bang, hosting two free community events before the season starts. On October 21, they're partnering with Electric Lotus Tattoo, a Brooklyn institution since 1993, for a flash day where fans can get a free Brooklyn Nets tattoo. Then, on October 23, they're collaborating with Levels Barbershop in Bed-Stuy, where The Notorious B.I.G. used to get his haircuts, offering free lineups or fades to anyone wearing Nets gear.
Opening Night Extravaganza
On October 24, opening night, the Nets will host a Plaza Party outside Barclays Center from 1-4 p.m. This fun-filled event features basketball shooting games, giveaways, and a live DJ. Fans can also explore the nearby Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, home to the Nets and New York Liberty’s youth basketball program, for guided tours and free Shoot 360 session sign-ups.
Brooklyn Camo City Edition Uniform
As part of the NBA’s City Edition Remix, the Nets are bringing back their iconic Brooklyn Camo City Edition uniform, a design inspired by The Notorious B.I.G. First introduced in 2018, the black uniform with its colorful “Brooklyn Camo” trim quickly became a fan favorite, selling out soon after it dropped. The design pays tribute to Biggie’s legacy and Brooklyn's music, art, and culture.
Biggie Nights
This season, the uniform’s return will be paired with a Biggie-themed court and a series of “Biggie Nights.” The first Biggie Night tips off on Tuesday, November 11, when the Nets host the Toronto Raptors at Barclays Center. The evening will include a Biggie bobblehead giveaway and special halftime performances developed with the Estate. Future Biggie Nights throughout the season will feature themed contests, playlists, and appearances highlighting the late hip-hop legend’s impact on Brooklyn and beyond.
The Nets are embracing what makes Brooklyn special, from tattoos to haircuts to their jerseys. This season, they're showing that being part of the Nets family means being part of Brooklyn itself.
