==Uniforms==

===New Jersey Americans===
Upon debuting in the ABA in 1967, the New Jersey Americans wore white and red uniforms. The white uniforms contained red, blue and white stripes, with the team name and numerals in red with blue trim. The red uniforms mirror the striping configurations of the white uniforms while the city name and numerals were in blue with white trim.<ref name=NetsUniforms>{{cite web|title=Nets uniform history|url=https://www.nba.com/nets/history/uniform-history|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=BrooklynNets.com|access-date=October 17, 2020|archive-date=December 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201204212754/https://www.nba.com/nets/history/uniform-history|url-status=live}}</ref>

===New York Nets===

====1968–1972====
Moving to Long Island as the New York Nets, they kept the original Americans template except for the location and team name. The white uniforms featured a script "Nets" lettering with a tail accent below, while the red uniforms featured "New York" in block letters (similar to the New York Knicks). Over the years, the letters and stripes would endure a few adjustments.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

====1972–1977====
The Nets changed uniforms upon moving to Nassau Coliseum. The white uniforms featured a thick blue stripe with white stars on the left, along with a red stripe and white outline. The team name is written in red block letters. The blue uniforms, which featured "New York" in white block letters, mirrored that of the white uniforms.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

===New Jersey Nets===
====1977–1981; 1983–1990====
The Nets carried the "Stars and Stripes" uniform to New Jersey in 1977. The white uniform remained the same but the blue uniform read "Nets" in front. The blue uniform later added "New Jersey" in white block letters inside the red stripe.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

====1981–1983====
Upon moving to the Meadowlands in 1981, the Nets briefly changed their uniform set. The white uniform brought back the "Nets" script from the original New York Nets uniforms, but the color scheme became blue with red trim. The blue uniform featured "New Jersey" stacked together in a similar script style, and the letters were colored in red with white trim.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

====1990–1997====
The Nets underwent a visual rebrand before the 1990–91 season. The white uniform featured a more futuristic "Nets" script in red with white and blue trim, while adding red and blue stripes. Initially, the Nets wore white and light blue gradient road uniforms that had a [[tie-dye]] effect, but switched to a solid blue uniform after only one season. Both blue uniforms featured the same "Nets" script in red with blue and white trim along with red and white stripes.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

====1997–2012====
The Nets updated their visual identity prior to the 1997–98 season, going with a deeper red and navy scheme with silver accents. The white uniform, which remained virtually unchanged throughout its history, featured the team name in navy with silver and red trim. The navy uniform featured the city name in silver with navy and red trim. The dark grey alternate uniform, used until 2006, initially went with the city name in navy with white and red trim, but reversed the color scheme to white with red and navy trim after only two seasons. This uniform was the only one to feature the "NJ" alternate logo on the neckline. The red alternate uniform, which replaced the grey alternate and became the primary dark uniform in 2009, featured the team name in white with navy and silver trim. All uniforms featured thick navy and silver [[argyle (pattern)|argyle]] stripes.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

===Brooklyn Nets===

====2012–2017====
Upon moving to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets went with a simple black and white uniform design, with "Brooklyn" in front of both the white and black uniforms. They also wore three different alternate uniforms. A grey-sleeved alternate with "Brooklyn" in [[Dodger blue]], was first used in 2013 as a visual recall to the [[History of the Brooklyn Dodgers|Brooklyn Dodgers]]. A white-sleeved alternate with the team name in black, featured the same "Stars and Stripes" look from the 1970s. A dark grey sleeveless alternate, meant to recall the 1980s New Jersey Nets uniforms, featured the team name in white and the city name in white written inside a black stripe.<ref name=NetsUniforms/>

====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/>
