NBA Christmas: the colours of its franchise

A franchise first, an article later

The right thing to do is to start with the team they support. This page brings together NBA licensed articles: clothing, jerseys, caps, balls, bags, and post-game shoes. Chicago and Los Angeles have the most choices, but most franchises are represented, from the Celtics to the Spurs. Nostalgic fans can even find the colours of the Seattle Sonics and Vancouver Grizzlies.

From bench sweatshirts to legendary jerseys

Textiles make up the essence of the selection, and each brand has its own specialty.

• The page NBA Christmas New Era focuses on hoodies, t-shirts, and joggers emblazoned with team logos, along with a few caps.
• The page NBA Christmas Mitchell & Ness showcases iconic jerseys from the great years, featuring mesh shorts and satin jackets.
• The page NBA Christmas Outerstuff outfits young fans with t-shirts, hoodies, joggers, and team sets.

Playing in their colours: balls and knee pads

For a fan who also plays, two pages connect the stands and the court.

• The page NBA Christmas Wilson gathers balls with franchise logos, Dribbler bouncy balls, and door mini-basketball hoops.
• The page NBA Christmas Bauerfeind offers an NBA-licensed compression knee pad, available in black or white.

Slides and clogs for tired feet

After the game or at home, fans can sport their team down to their toes. The NBA ISlide slides come in the colours of the Bulls, Celtics, Heat, Bucks, and Warriors. The NBA Crocs clogs take a quirky approach, with Jibbitz charms that can be snapped on.

Six brands that NBA fans know well

Each has its specialty, and they complement each other in the same gift package.

• New Era produces the cap worn on MLB baseball fields. On this page, the brand mainly features NBA logos on fleece and cotton.
• Wilson provides the official basketball of the NBA and WNBA, which it took over from Spalding. Its fan balls lend legitimacy.
• Mitchell & Ness, born in Philadelphia, has made reproducing vintage jerseys its specialty.
• Crocs built its reputation on a foam clog with holes, customizable with Jibbitz.
• Eastpak offers its Day Pak'r backpack in Lakers colours, suitable for school or training.
• ISlide has made a name for itself with custom slides, licensed from several American leagues.

On a tight budget or a last-minute order

Three pages sort gifts by price range: gifts under €50, those under €100, and those under €150. In a hurry? The page arriving in time for Christmas only keeps in-stock items, shipping within 24 hours: order early to stay ahead. Just before the holidays, the NBA Black Friday discounts part of the franchise items, and after Christmas, the sales and clearance take over.

For the player behind the fan

If they spend as much time on the court as watching the games, broaden your search. The pages Christmas shoes, Christmas textiles, Christmas balls, and Christmas equipment cover playing gear, outside of NBA licensing. A full range of ideas can be found on the page Christmas.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a cheap NBA gift for Christmas?

Start with the gifts under €50. A Dribbler ball, a team t-shirt, or a cap makes for great small fan gifts. For a group of friends or a gift exchange among teammates, it's the most practical page.

Which NBA jersey should I give to a fan of the nineties?

A retro jersey of their youth player: Shaq, Pippen, Iverson, or Ewing resonate with a whole generation. They can be found on the page NBA Christmas Mitchell & Ness. Check the team: many legends have worn different jerseys.

What NBA gift can I give to a child?

Some clothing in their size or something to play with. The t-shirts and the whole range on the page NBA Christmas Outerstuff are designed for young fans. The Dribbler balls from Wilson appeal from a very young age.

How do I give an NBA item without knowing the size?

Choose something with no size: team ball, mini-hoop, or backpack. An adjustable cap works too, the strap fits most heads. The pages NBA Christmas Wilson and NBA Christmas New Era offer those.

Should I wait for the Black Friday to buy my NBA gifts?

It's an option if you plan early: the NBA Black Friday discounts some franchise items just before the holidays. The most sought-after sizes sell out quickly. If you've already spotted the right item, don’t wait too long.
