The Nets are paying tribute to Biggie’s home neighborhood of Bed-Stuy. Brooklyn Nets <\/p>\nSeven years later, the Nets are reprising their Brooklyn Camo City Edition uniforms that were inspired by Bed-Stuy native The Notorious B.I.G.<\/p>\n
With all NBA teams reviving former City Edition apparel as part of a leaguewide \u201cRemix\u201d campaign, the Nets say they had an easy choice, considering their 2018 \u201cBiggie\u201d uniform — sold on a limited basis and soon a collector\u2019s item — has long been a community talking point.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something we anecdotally get questions about all the time, \u2018Are you bringing it back? Can I buy it still?\u2019\u201d said Andrew Karson, EVP\/Sports & Corporate Marketing for BSE, the Nets\u2019 parent company. \u201cWe\u2019ve remained in very close contact and have a great relationship with the Biggie estate. … This was the perfect opportunity to work together again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nets players will debut the uniforms publicly at their annual \u201cPractice In the Park\u201d event on Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Potomac Playground in Bed-Stuy, where they expect a crowd of roughly 2,000 and members of Biggie\u2019s inner circle. The uniforms contain a \u201cBED-STUY\u201d mark just above the jersey\u2019 jock tag, designed by well-known graphic artist Eric Haze and will be sold only sparsely to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to do somewhat limited quantities,\u201d Karson said. \u201cAgain, we want to keep this as kind of a really special high demand item. And then we\u2019ll supplement with all the ancillary collections with Nike and other licensees of City Edition. So you\u2019ll have the uniforms themselves, and then you\u2019ll have the hats, the hoodies, the T-shirts, all of that brings it to life in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
Executives at BSE remain intent on being symbiotic with Brooklyn culture, with Karson saying the uniforms are \u201canother opportunity for us to just use our platform in the NBA to kind of help bring Brooklyn to the world in a unique way.\u201d Not only will the jerseys be worn during 11 home games — beginning Nov. 11 against the Raptors — but the campaign will include a Biggie-themed court, halftime musical performances, a bobblehead giveaway and a spate of \u201cBiggie Night\u201d\u2019 in collaboration with The Notorious B.I.G. estate.<\/p>\n
