The Golden State Warriors debuted their new uniforms on Tuesday, and many fans had the same reaction when they first saw the design.
Golden State’s new jerseys, which Rakuten sponsors, use a different color scheme than what you may expect when you think of the Warriors. These uniforms have a much darker blue than fans are accustomed to seeing from the reigning champions.
While these are only the “Statement Edition” uniforms, which means they won’t be a regular fixture for Golden State, it’s still a surprising choice for the Warriors.
