Adidas is taking the NBA back in time, releasing its simple design for the All-Star Game uniforms Tuesday.
The Eastern Conference will wear white, the Western Conference black, and jerseys will not have a conference identifier on them for the first time in nearly 50 years. The backs of the jerseys will feature the players' first names above the numerals, and last name below.
The game will be held Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden and the uniforms are celebration of New York City's basketball heritage.
Other changes include throwback warm-up jackets and shooting shirts, as well as five stars on each jersey that represent New York's five boroughs -- Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn.
Cavaliers stars LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love have made multiple All-Star Game appearances.
