Back before they were in Memphis, the Grizzlies resided up in Vancouver, British Columbia.
They made their big move to the States in the 2001-02 season and have been there ever since.
It’s been more than 20 years now but fans fondly remember this style of uniform, especially the one-of-a-kind font.
Using these jerseys will be a great way to fire up long-time fans while also getting people excited for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Grizzles could be red-hot this season.
Ja Morant is healthy and free of any league-issued suspensions so he is ready to play and remind everyone why he’s one of the best players in the NBA.
And the rest of the roster sounds healthy too after a year that was filled with multiple devastating, season-ending injuries.
Even though it’s been a year, some people forgot just how promising and exciting the Grizzlies were.
Back in 2022-23, they had a 51-31 record and put the rest of the West on notice.
Some bad off-court choices and nasty injuries derailed their progression but they could be back in a big way this season.
These jerseys promise they will kick things off right and fans will be treated to something special on opening night.
