On Tuesday, the NBA and Adidas unveiled the uniforms that will be worn at this year’s All-Star game in New York City. Surprisingly, the league that is constantly experimenting with new, “hip” uniforms decided to go back to basics and design a very simple look for this year’s All-Star festivities.
Pictured above is the jersey that will be worn by players representing the Eastern Conference, while the Western Conference jerseys can be found below:

The best part of the new All-Star ensemble, however, is the shooting shirts. You can’t go wrong with a vintage look like this:
