The NBA offseason has been a weird one, but in the thick of some of its chaos, we’ve been fortunate enough to learn of some pretty cool jerseys that’ll be worn this upcoming season.
To be fair, some head-scratching ones have been unveiled, like today’s announcement of the Houston Rockets’ throwbacks.
But even the strange Rockets throwback won’t take away from the beautiful jerseys that the Miami Heat showcased via social media on Wednesday — no weird Miami Vice color schemes, no White Hot jerseys and certainly no jerseys with players’ nicknames on the back — just a classic throwback look from the team’s debut in 1988.

It’ll be the first time the Heat have worn these jerseys since they were briefly brought back during the 2015-16 season.
Miami originally rocked the threads from 1988 to 1999, in which franchise legends like Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Morning and Steve Smith sported the look.
My take — these jerseys are so clean that they should be in the rotation permanently.
