Back before they were in Memphis, the Grizzlies resided up in Vancouver, British Columbia.
They made their big move to the States in the 2001-02 season and have been there ever since.
It’s been more than 20 years now but fans fondly remember this uniform, especially the one-of-a-kind font.
Using these jerseys will be a great way to fire up longtime fans while also getting people excited for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Grizzles could be red-hot this season.
Ja Morant is healthy and free of any league-issued suspensions so is ready to play and remind everyone why he’s one of the best players in the NBA.
The rest of the roster seems healthy, too, after a year that was filled with multiple devastating, season-ending injuries.
Even though it’s been a year, some people forgot just how promising and exciting the Grizzlies were.
Back in 2022-23, they had a 51-31 record and put the rest of the West on notice.
Some bad off-court choices and nasty injuries derailed their progression, but they could be back in a big way this season.
These jerseys promise they will kick things off right and fans will be treated to something special on opening night.
