However, similar to special Christmas Day threads, the initiative ended when Nike became the NBA’s uniform supplier ahead of the 2017-18 season and introduced the current “Edition” system for uniforms. As a result, more emphasis went toward the yearly City Edition program rather than one-off holiday uniforms. The NBA and WNBA agreed<\/a> to a 12-year contract extension with Nike in 2024.<\/p>\n In the absence of festive threads for this season, here’s a look back at notable St. Patrick’s Day jerseys of the past.<\/p>\n How lucky was the look? 3-3 overall record in St. Patrick’s Day uniforms<\/p>\n New York went deep into its uniform closet each St. Patrick’s Day with an all-green look that included orange and black trims throughout. The Knicks debuted the threads against the Detroit Pistons<\/a> on March 17, 2006, and it brought them good luck.<\/p>\n Led by 18 points off the bench from Jamal Crawford, the Knicks defeated the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons 105-103.<\/p>\n New York last wore the green threads during the 2011-12 season, a win against the Indiana Pacers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Chicago Bulls<\/p>\n How lucky was the look? 4-6 overall record in St. Patrick’s Day uniforms<\/p>\n The Bulls went from red to green for a look that surely took some getting used to for die-hard fans. Even though the uniform was all green, the bull logo on the shorts and back of the jersey remained the traditional black and red.<\/p>\n Chicago first wore the threads against the Miami Heat<\/a> in an 85-84 loss on March 18, 2006, a day after the holiday. The Bulls wore the uniform each year until the 2016-17 campaign except in 2015-16.<\/p>\n Boston Celtics<\/p>\n How lucky was the look? 4-4 overall record in St. Patrick’s Day uniforms<\/p>\n Green is already the Celtics’ primary shade, but even they received a neat makeover ahead of St. Patrick’s Day 2006. The numbers and “Celtics” word mark were turned gold with a similar color trim across the shorts and jersey. They uniform set received a slight tweak for the 2013-14 season with a short-sleeve version.<\/p>\n Like Chicago, Boston donned the special look until the 2017-18 campaign.<\/p>\n How lucky was the look? 1-4 overall record in St. Patrick’s Day uniforms<\/p>\n Toronto entered the holiday trend on St. Patrick’s Day 2008, debuting a clean look in a road defeat against the Utah Jazz<\/a>. The Raptors continued to wear it for the next four seasons.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/_end_rule.png\"\/)
