PORTLAND — The Trail Blazers unveiled the first two of four new uniforms for the 2017-18 season on Saturday, and there are not many changes from the old ones.

The biggest change may be the Nike “Swoosh” on the right shoulder and left leg. Nike is taking over from Adidas as the NBA’s uniform provider.

The Blazers’ iconic pinwheel logo is on the right side of the shorts, and the “Rip City” logo is on the front of the waistband.

There is no jersey sponsor, but the Blazers are “very optimistic” one will be found before the season starts, The Oregonian reported.

Two other uniforms, “athlete-inspired” and “community-inspired” designs, will be unveiled at a later date. Home teams next season will be able to choose from any of their four sets, with the away team playing in a contrasting color.
