The Santa Cruz Warriors unveiled their new Nike uniform and gave a sneak peek of their new court layout, and it all looks awesome.
Longtime Santa Cruz Warriors fans can definitely expect to see a few changes by the time of Surf City’s regular season opener on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Kaiser Permanente Arena, and trust me — you’re gonna love them.
With the introduction of Nike as the new NBA uniform designer, NBA G League teams will be sporting new jerseys for the 2017-18 season. These new Santa Cruz Warriors jerseys not only have a new look and feel to them, but they will notably reinforce their affiliation with the Golden State Warriors.
"“As part of the team’s new partnership with Nike, the new Santa Cruz uniforms feature redesigned scapula construction and altered hemlines on the bottom of the shorts to provide greater agility and a wider range of motion for the athletes. Matching Golden State’s player and name fonts as well as a GSW logo on the bottom of the shorts will remind our fans that Santa Cruz is also Warriors Ground.”"
In addition, the Santa Cruz Warriors organization has opted to modify their court layout to reflect both the G League rebrand and the team’s connection to Golden State. They’ve added the new G League logo as a prominent figure in front of the sideline scorer’s table, and the Golden State Warriors logo is now embedded into both free throw line spaces.

"“In a striking new feature, the new court at Kaiser Permanente Arena now has the Golden State Warriors logos inside both free throw circles. And exactly like Oracle Arena, the sideline and baseline colors and letters will move from royal blue to Warriors gold.”“The NBA G League logo is a prominent feature on the front and back of our uniforms next season as well as at midcourt of Kaiser Permanente Arena. These elements are intentional to remind our players, coaches, officials, trainers, and front-office staff of the NBA’s new partnership with Gatorade and that the G League serves as a research and development laboratory.”"
