There will be a slight tweak to the jerseys of some specific NBA players for the opening night of the 2025-26 season. Award winners from the 2024-25 season will be recognized with a unique gold Logoman patch on their jersey, which will only be present for the first game of the year.
Winners of the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year will be honored with a special jersey patch of their respective trophies just above the Nike swoosh on the front of the uniform. As such, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander (MVP), Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (DPOY) and Spurs guard Stephon Castle (ROTY) will all have the custom patch on their jersey on opening night.
