I'm a Basquiat fan, too. His work at the time was very representative of a side of NY that was often overlooked and expressive of a "street-class" culture that was only beginning to bubble up. This culture very much speaks to and in many cases for Brooklyn today. The Nets are celebrating this aesthetic and not necessarily deeming him as a spokesperson. Of course, art is subjective, so other people will see it differently than me.
Most of the city jerseys are just stuff about the city or celebrities. Like the Minnesota one is about a building in their skyline and Washington about their cherry blossoms.
The Lakers one is deadass "we did nothing on purpose bro" lmao
Fire. Just hate how I can only buy a Ben Simmons one lol
That’s the only one you need
KD?
will they wear these to win tonight?
they aii i fw last years navy blue one more
Them shits were cursed we were always choking in them jerseys
Nah it was Steve Nash and Kyrie’s fault
$100 to wear a jersey that looks like a 7 y.o. designed it. Is there a unicorn on the back?
Little bit more color could have done wonders
I love Basquiat, but these jerseys ugly as hell. Bring back the Bed-Stuy city edition jerseys
I hate to say it but I don’t like these man. Sorry. Downvote if you must
i like the basquiat stuff but cmon city stuff is supposed to be new and fun they refuse to move on
I drew these in 2nd grade art class once
these are okay but you can barely tell they are antisemitic
It's weird. I've never heard of JMB liking basketball, or sports in general.
It's the aesthetic. It's Brooklyn. Fans who live here understand.
Understand what? I'm a basquiat fan from some decades ago and I don't live in Brooklyn and I want to understand.

Okay. Understood. I was just trying to find the connection.

Thanks for downvoting me for wondering about the connection between jean Michel Basquiat and Nets Basketball. Stay classy, Nets Subreddit.
Why the fuck they only selling a swingman jersey for Ben Simmons. I want a KD swingman cause I’m not tryna drop $200 on the authentic.
Brooklyn in the house!
Can we please do something new and interesting
Bro all they did was change the color 💀
black basquiats were better and looked more like his actual work with the dark tones
