A handful of NBA franchises are going back in time to add new (somewhat) uniforms to their closets.
The Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs unveiled their classic edition uniform and courts Monday. The looks pay homage to the franchises' respective milestone ABA anniversaries.
The Nets' uniforms take inspiration from the New York Nets era from the late 1960s and early 1970s. With a white primary base, the uniform features the "Nets" wordmark in red cursive. Red, white and blue stripes fill the collar, waistband and side of the jerseys and shorts in celebration of the franchise's 60th anniversary.

Indiana is turning back the clock with its iconic blue road uniforms, featuring its original 1967 logo on the shorts. Asymmetrical racing stripes start on the right shoulder and cross over to the left to the bottom of the shorts. It's an ode to the 60th anniversary of the franchise, which won three ABA championships before joining the NBA.
The franchise will also have a court to match the ABA throwbacks for 10 nights throughout the season that will feature retro graphics and classic music.
