Jordan Brand will supply uniforms for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game for the sixth consecutive year. Since the Utah Jazz are hosting All-Star weekend at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, the uniforms will feature color transitions that reflect Utah’s landscapes.
The five stars on the shorts represent Utah’s five national parks: Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and Zion National Park. Of course, the vertical stripe on the side of the jerseys pays homage to the Bonneville Salt Flats canals.
According to a couple of NBA betting sites, the Boston Celtics are the top favorite to win the championship. Check out which sportsbooks are still giving the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets favorable odds.

Furthermore, purple and blue colors were selected to resemble Utah’s sky during the evening hours. Red, yellow, and burnt orange were included to symbolize mountain ranges and the golden sunset. The 2023 NBA All-Star logo is featured on the sides of the shorts and on the back neck of the jersey.
This past Thursday, Jordan Brand Authentic and Swingman All-Star uniforms were released for early access purchase via Nike.com. Moreover, NBA Store and select retailers will begin selling the merchandise on Thursday, Feb. 2. Stephen Curry’s 2023 All-Star Game Edition jersey is available for $120.
