Long Island Nets Want Fans To Design Their New Jersey

The Long Island Nets are looking to their fans to design a special jersey the team will wear during the upcoming 2019-20 season. As part of the team’s "OUR ISLAND" campaign, fans are invited to design and submit jersey concepts that represent the team’s Long Island roots and what it means to them to be a Long Islander.

The fan-designed jersey will be worn at three home games, and all jerseys will be autographed by individual players and raffled off to benefit a non-profit organization at the end of the season. The beneficiary will be announced at a later date.

“We see this contest as a great opportunity for our fans to express themselves creatively,” said Alton Byrd, vice president of business operations of the Long Island Nets. “As Long Island’s team, it’s important that we represent and engage our community in fun and unique ways.”

Entries can be submitted here. All entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 18. The winner will be notified by Sept. 9, and publicly announced in late September.

The designer of the winning concept will receive a personalized jersey and four courtside seats to the three OUR ISLAND home games during the 2019-20 season.

Last year, the team also had fans design its first mascot.

Fans who are interested in submitting designs should follow the below guidelines for submission:

• Design must include Long Island Nets logo
• Design should include OUR ISLAND or Long Island wording
• Jersey template should not be altered in any way, including placement of logos, per NBA G League regulations
• Base color of jersey design must be a dark color
• Design must be original
• Design should be submitted in JPG, PNG or PDF format
