The original NBA uniform featured the basics: numbers, letters and were even without team colors. Players wore shorts that measured just three inches long at the inseams, paired with a simple singlet jersey that had to be tucked in, a requirement that still stands in todays NBA. <\/p>\n
And while short-shorts and high socks may seem like a blast from the past, current stars still pay homage to many trends and styles from generations before. <\/p>\n
As the NBA celebrates its 75th Anniversary Season, take a look back at the most notable trends and style changes of the NBAs uniform on Jersey Day.<\/p>\n
In 1957, the NBA jersey resembled a simple singlet with shorts well-above knee length.<\/p>\n
Canvas high top sneakers with knee-high socks dominated the NBA until the 1970s. <\/p>\n
Once Michael Jordan began wearing longer shorts, the majority of NBA players followed suit.<\/p>\n
While most of the NBA adapted to longer shorts, Jazz star John Stockton continued to rock the old-school style until his retirement.<\/p>\n
Until 2018, sneakers worn during games were restricted to being either 51 percent white or black, plus a minimal team color accent.<\/p>\n
Beginning the 2018-19 season, the NBA allowed players to wear sneakers of any color at any point during the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
