Most of the jerseys set to debut next year, have been leaked, rated and discussed online. While some fans seem to hate the entire line of city jerseys, the one's belonging to the Phoenix Suns (who were also roasted), San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors were mostly liked by all. The Los Angeles Lakers also might be reverting back to the classic blue and white colours, which has fans excited.
The remaining, however, criticized. Some fans referred to the other jerseys as "trash", while the New Orleans Pelicans' jersey ended up being compared to a pack of cigarettes.

Our 2020-21 uniform celebrates the unique beauty of Oregon’s landscape as well as acknowledging & honoring the tribal nations throughout what is now considered Oregon who have called this land their home from the beginning.

This year’s NBA “City Edition” Jerseys are mostly misses for me. Phoenix probably has the best I’ve seen so far but the skyline/sunset motif feels played out for me

What will be the NBA start date?
While the 2019-20 season ended in October due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league is looking to start the next season in December. The NBA is apparently aiming for a December 22 date, so that they can even benefit from the crucial Christmas game. Yet, reports state that LeBron James and other NBA stars who played at the bubble are not ready for the season to resume so soon, and might skip the first month.
