“There was obviously a lot of chatter about this being the last year at Oracle and how iconic these jerseys were. The players started chatting about the idea about two months ago, and the NBA, which often demands years advance notice for teams to wear new uniforms, helped the Warriors find a fast track through the usual red tape. The Warriors said the ode … was a player-driven idea that had to be OK’d with the NBA and league outfitter Nike. Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle explains what happened in his article about the throwback uniforms: One of the reasons we see so few surprises these days is the process to produce a new set of uniforms which usually requires years of notice from the team to both the league and manufacturers.

Of course, during its original run (like all NBA jerseys of the time) it had only the NBA logo in the upper corner. Last night’s version of the jersey included the Nike swoosh and the advertisement patch, the NBA logo placed on the back above the player name. Some changes to the original design, but all to bring the uniform into 2019. The uniform underwent a bit of a re- design for the 2002-03 season. It was one of the first few new logos I added on here when SportsLogos.Net originally launched. The “We Believe” set, named for team’s improbable run to clinch a playoff spot in 2007, at the time their first in 13 years, was originally adopted by the Warriors ten years earlier during the Summer of ’97 and featured ancient mythology imagery, a god wielding a lightning bolt as the primary logo. You know we couldn’t celebrate 47 seasons at Oracle without bringing these back ? /WsxL1Efojt The announcement of the retro set was successfully saved until just prior to tipoff when Warriors players came onto the court and took off their warmup gear, revealing the garments to the delighted home crowd. Last night, the Golden State Warriors did just that, taking to the court for their final regular season game in Oakland while wearing their throwback home white uniform from the 2000s. It seems that sometimes it’s still possible to keep a secret from the logo and uniform world.
