====2017–present==== With the switch from [[Adidas]] to [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]], the Nets kept most aspects of their visual identity intact. The white uniform became the "Association" uniform while the black uniform became the "Icon" uniform. The Nets have had three different versions of the "Statement" uniform. The first set, with "BKLYN" in white, was in dark grey and featured the same stars and stripes look from the 1970s. The uniform was updated in 2019 to a lighter grey base and black/dark grey stripes, with "BKLYN" written in [[graffiti]] style designed by Eric Haze. In 2022, the Nets again changed its "Statement" uniform, this time with a black base, black letters with silver trim, and a subtle greyscale herringbone striping with three black stars on the left.<ref name=NetsUniforms/> The Nets also employed a fourth uniform option: the "City" uniform. The 2017–18 black "City" uniform featured the full team name spelled in white along with grey accents inspired from the [[Brooklyn Bridge]]. The following season, it was replaced with a black uniform featuring stylized Brooklyn camo patterns as a tribute to [[the Notorious B.I.G.]] For 2019–20, the Nets wore white versions of the "Biggie" uniforms, but with Haze-designed "BED-STUY" graffiti lettering in front (a reference to [[Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn|Bedford–Stuyvesant]] where the Notorious B.I.G. grew up). The 2020–21 "City" uniform, which honors Brooklyn-born artist [[Jean-Michel Basquiat]], is predominantly black and features "BKLYN NETS" written in Basquiat's style along with multi-colored striping.<ref name=NetsUniforms/> The Basquiat-inspired "City" uniform returned in 2022–23 but in a white base.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brooklyn Nets 22/23 City Edition Uniform: Brooklyn Graffiti|url=https://www.nba.com/news/brooklyn-nets-city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|access-date=November 10, 2022|archive-date=November 10, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110183418/https://www.nba.com/news/brooklyn-nets-city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref> In the 2021–22 season, the Nets' "City" uniform featured visual references to the Nets' uniform history. The navy base and white and silver argyle stripes recalled the 1997–2009 uniforms. The "Nets" wordmark and lettering were taken from the 1990–97 uniforms. A red stripe with white stars honored the "Stars and Stripes" uniform of the 1970s and 1980s. A modified version of the 1980s New Jersey Nets logo, replacing the New Jersey outline with the map of Brooklyn, was added to the right leg. The 1997–2012 shield logo, also tweaked to feature the current "B" alternate logo, was added on the waist.<ref>{{cite web|title=2021–22 Nets City uniform|url=https://www.nba.com/nets/city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=BrooklynNets.com|access-date=November 3, 2021|archive-date=November 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211102160934/https://www.nba.com/nets/city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref> The "City" uniform for the 2023–24 season featured a collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist [[Kaws]]. The predominantly dark grey design featured splashes of light grey, blue, turquoise and pink inspired by Kaws' "Tension" series. The stylized "Nets" wordmark was also influenced by Kaws' graphic style.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brooklyn Nets Unveil 2023-24 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform, Created With Renowned Artist KAWS|url=https://www.nba.com/nets/news/brooklyn-nets-unveil-2023-24-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-created-with-renowned-artist-kaws|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=BrooklynNets.com|access-date=October 20, 2023|archive-date=November 26, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231126180314/https://www.nba.com/nets/news/brooklyn-nets-unveil-2023-24-nike-nba-city-edition-uniform-created-with-renowned-artist-kaws|url-status=live}}</ref> The design was slightly tweaked for the 2024–25 "City" uniform, this time with the color splashes relegated to the "Brooklyn" wordmark as part of an outer trim, with the base now featuring greyscale splashes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brooklyn Nets 2024-25 City Edition Uniform in collaboration with Artist KAWS|url=https://www.nba.com/news/brooklyn-nets-2024-25-city-edition-uniform|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|access-date=November 14, 2024}}</ref> A fifth uniform option, the "Earned" uniform, is released occasionally and is exclusive only to the teams who qualified in the [[NBA playoffs]] the previous year. The Nets, by virtue of qualifying in the [[2020 NBA playoffs]], were given an "Earned" uniform. The design featured the [[parquetry|herringbone parquet]] style of the Barclays Center court in shades of black and grey, with [[Helvetica]] lettering inspired from the signs found at the [[New York City Subway]].<ref name=NetsUniforms/>
