The 2022 NBA All-Star Game is coming up soon. The 71st edition of the game will take place at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on February 20.
Each year, the league tries to come up with something new for the All-Star Game uniforms. Sometimes they’re very fresh, like the jerseys the players wore in Toronto in 2016.

Thursday night, Lakers Nation editor Matthew Moreno tweeted out a couple of pictures showing what appears to be the 2022 NBA All-Star Game jerseys. He spotted them in a local store in Los Angeles and there’s really no other explanation for why else they would be on sale.

This being the NBA’s big 75th anniversary the special diamond logo is right there on the back. It says NBA All-Star on the front. It literally has the tag at the bottom saying it is officially licensed by the NBA. But really… there’s no way this is what the league and the Jordan Brand came up with for such a special occasion, is it?
Why do pro sports leagues in America have such a hard time with designing All-Star Game jerseys?
Did the NBA learn nothing from Major League Baseball’s monochromatic debacle of 2019?

A bunch of NBA fans don’t believe that this is the real NBA All-Star Game jersey just because it’s got Anthony Davis’ name and number on the back.

Then again, as we have seen in the past, the jerseys could actually be worse.
