Miami Heat vice jersey unveiled for the NBA 2020-21 season

With teams slowly unveiling their new city edition jerseys, Miami Heat recently unveiled their new and vibrant Vice uniform. A complete 360 degree turn from their previous work, this jersey comes in vibrant pastel pink and blue shades. "Fit for the future," the Heat wrote on Twitter, indicating that the jersey will be a mood. 

“ViceVersa has duality — existing as either pink or blue depending your point-of-view," the team wrote during their release. They added that the uniform will provide "singularity", and will be unlike any other uniform yet. However, the team has managed to honour the team's history – adding "previous Vice uniforms" throughout. As per the team, the jersey will also dominate the league with the illusions, mirroring and reflections.

Later, the Heat's president of creative and digital marketing – Jennifer Alvarez – explained the process behind making this jersey. He recalled 2017, where the Vice began as a journey. Apparently, they returned to the present for a series of "sequel campaigns inspired by Miami’s many sides". It began with 'Vice Nights'. moved on to the 'Sunset Vice', also introducing 'ViceWave'. 

As of now, the jerseys will be available offline at TheMiamiHEATStore.com exclusively. The team will wear the jersey throughout the season. With COVID-19 still a threat, the ViceVersay jerseys will not be immediately available for everyone at the launch. However, the team is accepting pre-orders. 

Fit for the future.
