Best Memphis Grizzlies uniforms of all-time: 5. 2018-19 city jerseys

At number five, the 2018-19 city jerseys were an attempt to represent Memphis in both sports and entertainment. Most Grizzlies fans agree that they hit the spot on these uniforms

These jerseys feature many aspects of Memphis culture, from the colors to the paneling on the shorts.

The gray matches up with the gold to create a gritty, yet vibrant design. The gray helps represent the old-school style of Memphis wrestling, which, according to the team “…connects the all-new with old-school steel chairs and cages of Memphis Wrestling lore.”

Meanwhile, the gold helps to create vibrancy and accent the gray well. The gold also represents sports and entertainment, as the common end goal is to go for the gold, which generally is in the form of a trophy or belt.

The shorts are the most predominant part of the uniform as the waistline contains blue “ropes,” representing the ropes of a wrestling ring, and the paneling on the sides contain the letter GNG, which stand for the team’s and city’s culture: Grit N’ Grind. The bottom panel the features the Grizzlies logo in all gold.

Overall, this uniform is great due to its flair and representation of the city and culture of Memphis.
