Golden State Warriors drops new New City Edition Jerseys “Oakland Forever” Pay Tribute to Home of 47 Seasons. It was a place the Warriors called home for 47 seasons, and even though the team now plays 10 miles to the west, The Town is and will forever be part of the Warriors’ DNA.
It’s where the league’s most passionate fanbase embraced a franchise. It’s where that franchise won three championships in a span of four seasons, part of five straight trips to the NBA Finals.
When the Warriors unveiled their Oakland Forever jerseys last month, it was only fitting that Stephen Curry was the face of the campaign. Yes, he’s a three-time NBA Champion and two-time NBA MVP, but it goes deeper than that. While Curry was drafted by the Warriors two years after that historic “We Believe” season, he, as the team’s elder statesman, is the only player on the team to have sported the same style of jerseys sported by the likes of Baron, Stack Jack, J-Rich and Monta.
When the Warriors were playing the final games at Oracle Arena in 2019, Curry celebrated several Warriors legends and former teammates by wearing their jersey upon entering the arena, saving a tribute to former fan favorite Monta Ellis for the regular season home finale.
Furthermore, Oakland is the Curry family’s adoptive home. Stephen and his wife Ayesha Curry’s work community through their Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation continues to benefit youth and families in The Town. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Curry’s foundation has provided over 12 million meals and delivered nearly 2 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need in the Oakland area.
Entering his 12th NBA season, Curry and his Warriors teammates will sport this Oakland Forever uniform several times during the 2020-21 campaign, with dates to be announced soon. And when they wear those jerseys at home, they’ll play on a custom-made “Oakland Forever” court at Chase Center.

Going down the sides of the jersey and continuing through the sides of the shorts is a subtle, yet dynamic gold trim that provides the final splash to this faithful recreation. Look closer and you’ll see the phrase “We Believe” repeatedly printed within that trim, yet another reminder of the 2006-07 Warriors team that became the first eighth place team in NBA history to beat a No. 1 seed in a best-of-seven playoff series. After winning 16 of their final 21 games just to earn the final playoff berth in the Western Conference, the Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks, winners of an NBA-best 67 games that season, in the first round playoff series, 4-2.
