1996-97 NBA Jerseys | 31 Styles from 9 Teams

1996-97 Season

Everything from 1996-97 that is still wearable: 31 styles across 9 teams.

Swingman carries the bulk of the list: heavier mesh with stitched-on team graphics and a trimmer cut through the body than a standard fan jersey. Also in the mix: Pro Cut. Sizing runs across Men, Unisex and Big & Tall, so the same design can go to one person or to the whole household. It holds up to being worn every week, which is the only test that matters. 31 styles is a tight enough set to browse in a couple of minutes.

Start from your team if you have one. If not, Hardwood Classics is the fastest way in. Today’s line is over in 2025-26, with the most recent drops in New Arrivals.

Which editions are covered?All of it is Hardwood Classics.

What is the difference between the cuts?Swingman is heavier mesh with stitched-on team graphics and a trimmer cut through the body than a standard fan jersey. Pro Cut is a closer-cut jersey with a trimmer body and shorter sleeve opening.
