NBA All-Star 2025: A timeline of uniform designs

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game is the 74th edition of the midseason showcase -- and the NBA's best are ready to strut their stuff in style./p>

While hosting the league's biggest stars on one court has been a constant for several decades -- exceptfor 1999, due to the NBA lockout--much has transformed since the game's beginning in 1951.

One change that easily catches the eye of viewers is the ever-growing number of uniform combinations that have been worn throughout the years.

Each NBA team receives four jersey editions: Association, Icon, City and Statement. During the 2021-22 season, more than100 different uniforms were worn throughout the league.

In the eighth consecutive year of being outfitted by Jordan Brand, All-Stars can add another jersey to their vast collection. The 2025 uniforms were unveiled in February.

But before we see those in action, here's a look at how designs have evolved over the years.

All-Stars playing for the Eastern Conference sported a simple white jersey with blue accents, while players for the opposing conference wore the inverse in the inaugural game. The belt is perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the uniform, as elastic waistbands were not standard on basketball shorts during the 1950s.

The design during the 1960s was similar to that of previous years. The additions of the East or West conference designation on the front of the jerseys was a distinction that became common later in the decade.

The latter end of the aforementioned decade brought in a new trend of honoring the city in which the game was played. The Warriors' City edition uniforms served as the first source of inspiration for the new look.

Players donned Lakers-themed outfits when the team's then-home arena, the Forum, hosted the All-Star Game.

Washington was the final team to have its jerseys serve as the model for the showdown between the two conferences.

This style was quite popular, as the design was used for six consecutive years. It was even brought back after a short hiatus for the 2003 and 2004 All-Star Games.

Arguably the most memorable All-Star uniforms were created in the '90s, starting with this version that was in use from 1991 to 1994.

Another recognizable design is a product of the past century. The vibrant colors were a stark contrast to the typical red, white and blue uniforms that were used for the majority of the All-Star Games' existence.
