Dallas Mavericks

Brief History of Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks (often referred to as the Mavs) are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas. The Mavericks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member club of the league’s Western Conference Southwest Division. The team plays its home games at the American Airlines Center, which it shares with the National Hockey League’s Dallas Stars. According to a 2016 Forbes magazine report, they are the ninth most valuable basketball franchise in the NBA, valued at approximately $1.4 billion. As of the 2013 season, the Mavericks have sold out 477 consecutive games since December 15, 2001, the longest currently running sellout streak in North American major league sports.

Dallas Mavericks City Jersey

The Dallas Mavericks launched their fourth Dallas Mavericks city jersey of the 21/22 season into rotation on Saturday and the latest kit is a mashup of the best moments in franchise history. The look is a revival of a bygone era with technological tweaks to make the new threads fresh and current.

This week teams around the NBA debuted the 2021 Nike NBA City Edition uniforms — dubbed City Edition: Moments Mixtape — and the Mavericks will have their turn in the new threads Saturday night (Nov. 6) against Boston.

There will be a lot of green. Boston will wear all-black Statement uniforms outlined in green. The Dallas Mavericks city jersey are white with green paneling on the side and jersey stitching in blue and green. The Mavs couldn’t do all green because the NBA considers every fifth year an anniversary year and the Mavericks wore the Nike Hardwood Classic Edition last season.

Interestingly enough, legend has it that co-founders Don Carter and Norm Sonju actually selected the color green in the jersey scheme because they liked the way Boston’s colors popped on the court. The fact that the Mavericks will debut the new remix threads against the Celtics was an unplanned coincidence.

And speaking of green, the jerseys will also perfectly match the logo of the team’s sponsor, Chime. The Mavericks and Chime are in the third season of a deal inked back in Jan. 2020.

Dallas will wear the Dallas Mavericks city jersey a total of 19 times this season, including 14 games at home. For the home court, the Mavericks will stick with the blue core court that highlights the names of all 337 players to ever play with the franchise.

All those names each hold their own story of chasing after their dreams and trailblazing a path to the NBA. Whether they played one game or 10 years, they are a vital piece of Dallas Mavericks history.

This Nike City Edition uniform is part of the NBA’s season-long 75th anniversary and the league invited teams to mix and match jersey styles and moments from different eras.

The Mavs hope the rework of the beloved Nike NBA Hardwood Classic style will recapture the nostalgia of six iconic moments in franchise history and pay homage to iconic venues that played a part in Dallas Mavericks history.

To celebrate the launch of the Nike NBA City Edition jersey and court, the Dallas Mavericks will host a Party on the Plaza presented by Chime, prior to the Mavs-Celtics game, with special guests that include some of the Mavericks most legendary players like NBA champions J.J. Barea, Tyson Chandler and Shawn Marion.

Blackman will also be there. The other two with their numbers retired, Brad Davis and Derek Harper, will each be in attendance serving in their various roles as TV and radio analysts, respectively.

Meanwhile, 15-year NBA veteran, fan favorite and current Bally Sports Southwest pre-game host Devin Harris will also be in attendance to join the Mixtape Launch and visit with fans.

This year will be white with green, but it still captures the nostalgia that fans have come to love with the retro look.

This year’s Mavs jersey pays tribute to the green accents and Western typography of the team’s early years. Perhaps the most unique detail of this jersey is located in the bottom left of the jersey where MFFL is stitched — a tip of the hat to Mavs Fans For Life.

Mavericks brain trust and Nike executives started the design process about two years ago and received feedback from players and staffers. Together they came up with the six most historic moments of the last 42 seasons. Thus, the new “mixtape” jersey was born and it’s a combination of a little old, revitalized into something fresh and new.

The Mavericks are one of the first teams to incorporate the green sheen fabric side paneling. This uniform design represents a collaboration of elements from Mavs history and remixes the silhouette into a forward-facing look towards the future of the franchise.

The team will wear the new jerseys for six straight games starting on Dec. 23 when the Mavs host the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, followed by a Christmas Day game at the Utah Jazz on national television. Dallas will wear the Dallas Mavericks city jersey for the remainder of that road trip with games at Portland, Sacramento twice and Oklahoma City on Jan. 2. The team will then wear the new jerseys for eight home games the second half of the season.
