NBA creates Pride T-shirts for every team; first for Big Four league
collection features rainbow logos
The NBA is celebrating Pride with the release of its LGBT-themed T-shirts for all 30 of its teams.
According to Outsports the line, in collaboration with GLSEN and Teespring, will feature shirts with team logos in rainbow colors. This is the first time one of the Big Four sports leagues’ team logos have gone rainbow.
“Professional sports showing up for LGBT people is one of the biggest cultural developments of the last decade, and really the last five years,” GLSEN executive director Eliza Byard told Outsports. “The NBA has been showing up for LGBT youth and for GLSEN for a number of years. Having this be a league-wide initiative, knowing any LGBT fan in the country can choose to celebrate their team and themselves with one of those shirts, that’s a whole new thing.”
Shirts are $24.95 and are available exclusively on Teespring. Proceeds from the shirts will benefit GLSEN.
