It looks like no matter how much the public protests, these NBA sleeved jerseys are here to stay. Teams like the Warriors had worn them previously and the NBA had all the teams on Christmas wear the soccer-like jerseys. Now they’ve introduced new ones for the 2014 NBA All-Star game in New Orleans.

The 2014 NBA All-Star uniforms were inspired by New Orleans’ rich and unique culture and feature vibrant Mardi Gras colors and shiny brass and silver accents on a short-sleeved silhouette. The NBA All-Star logo appears on the chest of the blue “East” and red “West” jerseys in the shape of the fleur-de-lis, the official symbol of Louisiana, with a purple “W” or green “E” cut out to identify the conference of each player.
“Each year, we look forward to developing a unique on-court look for the players that pays homage to the host city and adds to the excitement of this highly anticipated game,” said Chris Grancio, adidas head of global basketball sports marketing. “This year’s All-Star collection reflects New Orleans’ festive musical history while also providing the premium performance elements that NBA athletes have grown accustomed to.”
