The Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs unveiled uniforms and courts Monday celebrating their American Basketball Association heritage.
The four teams entered the NBA through the 1976 merger. Their 2026–27 Classic Edition programs mark its 50th anniversary, according to the league’s announcement.
San Antonio’s silver uniforms draw on the Spurs’ original 1973 design, including the arched team wordmark and black diamond details on the shorts. The Spurs plan nine Classic Nights, beginning November 4 against Dallas, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
Brooklyn’s red, white and blue presentation also forms part of its 60th-season celebration. The Nets’ new court includes names of past players, with a November 18 event planned to honor the franchise’s 1976 ABA championship team.
Denver and Indiana are joining those celebrations with their own Classic Edition uniforms and court designs. The coordinated releases bring the four surviving ABA franchises into the same anniversary program while preserving their individual team histories.
The merchandise and designated games make the merger anniversary visible throughout the season, rather than limiting the celebration to a single date.
