===Special uniforms=== The Knicks have also worn special edition uniforms every March as part of the NBA's Noche Latina events and during [[St. Patrick's Day in the United States#Basketball|St. Patrick's Day]]. The uniforms during Noche Latina were originally white with blue and orange trim, first using the 2001β12 uniform from 2008 to 2012, and then the current uniforms from 2012 to 2015, the only exception being ''Nueva York'' in front. In the 2015β16 season, the Knicks used a variation of their away blue uniform for Noche Latina. The Saint Patrick's Day uniforms used the road uniform template except for green substituting for the blue base. These uniforms have also been used on [[National Basketball Association Christmas games|Christmas Day]] from the 2009β10 season, and was worn in particular by [[Nate Robinson]] for a "Kryptonate vs. Superman" theme against Dwight Howard in the [[2009 NBA All-Star Game#Slam Dunk Contest|2009 Slam Dunk Contest]]. The St. Patrick's uniforms were shelved after the 2011β12 season. On Christmas Day 2012, the Knicks wore monochrome uniforms known as "big color". The uniforms are mostly orange, with blue trimming. The following year, the Knicks wore sleeved orange uniforms known as "big logo", featuring a chrome-treated Knicks logo in front. For the 2014 edition, the Knicks wore a variation of their home uniforms, featuring the team logo in front and the player's first name in a blue nameplate below the number. The 2016 Christmas Day game against the Celtics saw the Knicks wear an all-blue uniform without additional striping, complete with fancy scripted orange lettering and numbers. As part of its deal with Nike, a special "city" uniform would be used to pay tribute to either local culture or team traditions. The Knicks' 2017β18 "city" uniform, which is navy with orange and grey trim and features an emblem containing the team name, uniform number, a ladder with a silhouette of a firefighter, a fire hydrant, and the abbreviation "N.Y.C." for New York City, pays homage to the city's firefighters and their families. It was designed in collaboration with the Knicks, the NBA, Nike and the [[Uniformed Firefighters Association]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Knicks Unveil City Edition Uniforms Paying Homage to Firefighters & Their Families |url=http://www.nba.com/knicks/knicks-unveil-city-edition-uniforms-paying-homage-firefighters-their-families |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NYKnicks.com |access-date=January 11, 2018 |archive-date=January 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180112034721/http://www.nba.com/knicks/knicks-unveil-city-edition-uniforms-paying-homage-firefighters-their-families |url-status=live}}</ref> The Knicks' second "city" uniform is also in navy and features white lettering, a straight aligned "New York" wordmark in front and alternating stripes of blue, navy and orange designed to mimic the New York City skyline. The blue and orange arm striping was inspired from the team's 1950s uniforms. The Knicks initially debuted the uniform in the 2018β19 season, and was retained the following season.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Knicks Unveil City Edition Uniforms Inspired by the NYC Skyline |url=https://www.nba.com/knicks/features/new-york-knicks-unveil-city-edition-uniforms-inspired-nyc-skyline |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NYKnicks.com |date=November 24, 2018 |access-date=April 26, 2020 |archive-date=April 5, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200405230305/https://www.nba.com/knicks/features/new-york-knicks-unveil-city-edition-uniforms-inspired-nyc-skyline |url-status=live}}</ref> The Knicks' 2020β21 "city" uniform is designed in collaboration with [[Kith (brand)|Kith]]. The uniform is predominantly black with blue and orange side gradients. The roundel in front features both the full team name and the "city never sleeps" nickname in a white, blue and orange gradient, and white numbers with blue drop shadows are added inside. The "NYC" acronym in black and white trim is placed within the Nike mark.<ref>{{cite web |title=2020-21 NEW YORK KNICKS CITY EDITION UNIFORM |url=https://www.uniswag.com/blog/2020-21-new-york-knicks-city-edition-uniform |publisher=UniSwag |website=Uniswag.com |date=December 15, 2020 |access-date=December 19, 2020 |archive-date=December 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201215165055/https://www.uniswag.com/blog/2020-21-new-york-knicks-city-edition-uniform |url-status=live}}</ref> The Knicks' 2021β22 "city" uniform featured another collaboration with Kith. The predominantly black uniform featured the classic "New York" wordmark in white with orange trim, and orange numbers with white trim. Those elements, along with the 1992 "New Look" logo on the waist, paid tribute to the 1995β2001 blue uniforms. Along the side, black and gray checkerboard stripes were an homage to the 1950s set. A silhouette of the classic Madison Square Garden logo was added to the side stripes on the shorts.<ref>{{cite web |author=Ricky O'Donnell |title=Every NBA City Edition jersey for 2021-2022, ranked |url=https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2021/11/1/22757301/nba-city-edition-jerseys-2021-2022-every-uniform-best-worst |publisher=SB Nation |date=November 1, 2021 |access-date=November 3, 2021 |archive-date=November 4, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104033259/https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2021/11/1/22757301/nba-city-edition-jerseys-2021-2022-every-uniform-best-worst |url-status=live}}</ref> Another Kith-collaborated "city" uniform was released in the 2022β23 season. This design was inspired by the blue uniforms they wore from 1995 to 2001, but with black as the base color.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Knicks 22/23 City Edition Uniform: Bridging the Gap |url=https://www.nba.com/news/new-york-knicks-city-edition |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NBA.com |date=November 10, 2022 |access-date=November 14, 2022 |archive-date=November 14, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221114054201/https://www.nba.com/news/new-york-knicks-city-edition |url-status=live}}</ref> The 2023β24 "City" uniform, again under a collaboration with Kith, was yet another nod to the late 1990sβearly 2000s uniform design. In a first for the franchise, dark blue pinstripes were added to the blue-based uniform, and two "New York" wordmarks in both white and orange were layered twice on the top, in a nod to the iconic saying βthe city so nice, they named it twice.β Black and orange side stripes were also featured.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Knicks 2023-24 City Edition Uniform: Ode To 90s and 2000s |url=https://www.nba.com/news/new-york-knicks-2023-24-city-edition-uniform-ode-to-90s-and-2000s |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NBA.com |date=November 2, 2023 |access-date=November 2, 2023 |archive-date=November 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231102222405/https://www.nba.com/news/new-york-knicks-2023-24-city-edition-uniform-ode-to-90s-and-2000s |url-status=live}}</ref> This uniform, albeit in white, was reused as part of the 2024β25 "City" uniform.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Knicks 2024-25 City Edition Uniform: Tribute to a golden era |url=https://www.nba.com/news/new-york-knicks-2024-25-city-edition-uniform |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=NBA.com |date=November 14, 2024 |access-date=November 14, 2024}}</ref>
