Jersey was released on August 2nd this year, as a throwback to when the Warriors adopted the ‘Golden State Warriors’ name back in 1971. The same jersey colorway is featured on their ‘Classic edition’ jersey with a light tweak. Chris Mullin donned the jersey he once wore on the court with the word ‘Warriors’ written. The final jersey that Dub nation is waiting for is the ‘City edition.’
Stephen Curry has never worn any of these colorways before, so it would be interesting to see him in these vintage designs. Another tweet by the Golden State Warriors handle featured Stephen Curry looking at the Mullin Jersey as he paid tribute to the trio of Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and Mitch Richmond.
