The Los Angeles Clippers are celebrating their 50th season as a franchise this year. Fifty years since the Buffalo Braves came into existence in 1970.
Going back to their roots, the Clippers announced that they'll wear Braves jerseys on select nights this upcoming season.

August 30, 2019 The uniforms the Clippers will wear are going to be the black and orange color scheme that the Braves wore, as opposed to the white and blue.
No announcement has been made as of yet when the Clippers will wear these jerseys.
The Clippers are selling Braves jerseys on pre-order on their website at
clippersstore.com. The team has also unveiled a whole collection of t-shirts, hoodies, and more. It's been over 40 years since the Braves left Buffalo, and most Buffalo sports fans on social media seem to love the idea of the Clippers wearing their jerseys.
With the additions of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers are the NBA title favorites this season at 7/2.
