2017 City Edition
| < 2017-Present Statement | 2018 City > |
| The Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled a fourth uniform from the NBA Nike Collection in 2017, the City Edition, to complete their on-court look for the 2017-18 season. The new gray uniform features a design that is uniquely Cleveland and represents the spirit of a team, its fans, a city and region united to Defend The Land. It is the first time in franchise history that the team will wear the color gray on the court.
The City Edition joins the Association (white), Icon (wine) and Statement (black) Editions as the final installment in a collection of four new Nike uniforms introduced for the 2017-18 season. As with the previously introduced uniforms —the City Edition features the Nike Swoosh and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s Wingfoot – two global emblems reflecting success, drive and determination. Each uniform was designed by the Cavs in collaboration with Nike. |

| The trim on the shoulders and collar is dark gray. A gold accent shapes the V of the collar and runs down the side panels of the jersey and onto the shorts to shape the edges of a shield, an emblem that was recently added to the Cavaliers updated logo collection.Gold and two-tones of gray form the shape of the uniform side panels. The shape and design is inspired by the iconic giant “Guardians of Transportation” sandstone sculptures that stand guard over Cleveland’s Hope Memorial bridge. The Guardians are mythic figures that protect those entering and leaving the city. The Cavs secondary shield logo is inset as the “head” of the sculpture on both side panels of the jersey to symbolize protection of The Land. The front and back player numbers are displayed in a white font and outlined in dark gray with gold highlights, while the lettering (last name) on the back of the uniform is white.
A small square gold patch on the back-center collar of each jersey displays the number “1” positioned inside an outline of the Larry O’Brien trophy to represent the franchise’s first NBA championship in 2016. This is a standard feature on the uniforms of all teams that have won an NBA championship. The shorts showcase the State of Ohio at the center of the waistband and the Ohio flag underneath the bottom flap, two unique features of the uniform that are a nod to Cavs fans across the state. The NBA logo and Nike Swoosh are on the upper front of the shorts, while “Cavaliers” is displayed down the right side of the shorts and “Cleveland” down the left. |
