NBA Finals 2022 uniforms: What jerseys will Warriors, Celtics wear during series? image

Before the Warriors and Celtics even took the floor for Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals, we knew which uniforms each team will be wearing in each game of the series, all the way through a potential Game 7.

As two of the NBA's most historic franchises, both the Warriors and Celtics have iconic looks. Golden State's royal blue and "California Golden Yellow" accompanying the Bay Bridge logo have become synonymous with the franchise's excellence over the past eight seasons, while Boston's home and away uniforms have largely remained unchanged for 50-plus seasons.

When Nike took over as the NBA's official outfitter ahead of the 2017-18 season, the brand introduced multiple uniform designations: 

  • Association — White uniform
  • Icon — Primary color uniform
  • Statement — Third or alternate uniform
  • City — Alternate uniform inspired by the team's home area

Gone are the days in which the home team is relegated to wearing a white or light-colored uniform, adding intrigue to a team's sartorial choices on a game-by-game basis.
