Mavericks Make Super Super Bad 'City Edition' Jersey Reveal Official
By Ian Anderson
This year's City Edition Dallas Mavericks' jerseys are interesting, to say the least.
The jerseys leaked online last week, and the Mavs made their official announcement on Tuesday, unveiling their new uniforms in a tweet starring power forward Kristaps Porzingis.
Inspired by Art + Basketball, the 2019-2020 City Edition Jersey is OUT. #MAVSCITY.

Interesting is a tame word to describe these jerseys, as they are one of the ugliest in the NBA today. The entire uniform just reeks of hideous and attempt at an art-inspired uniform ended up looking more like a tribute to the 90s. If anyone should be seen wearing these jerseys, it's Will Smith on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The NBA Twitter community seems to agree as there are very few people on the Twitterverse who have reacted positively to the jersey unveiling.
DEAR LORD, THESE MAVS CITY EDITION JERSEYS ARE HOT GARBAGE. // Images of the Dallas Mavericks' 2019-2020 City Edition unis have leaked -- and, holy hell, can this team please hire new graphic designers? https://t.co/7i7YBiFWXV pic.twitter.com/3shrG211qT

This closer view of the Mavericks' City Edition gear isn't flattering. The color scheme of the lettering and the entire uniform itself does not fit at all and seems very out of place. These look more like Minor League Baseball team uniforms than what an NBA squad would wear.
The City Edition uniforms generally look slick and clean for NBA teams, but in this instance, the Dallas Mavericks and Nike went with the opposite approach.
