Cavaliers unveil updated throwback uniforms set to return this season

“The 2025-26 Classic Edition uniforms celebrate the team’s rich heritage and iconic visual identity during the mid-2000s era, bringing back beloved colors that hark back to the golden age of Cavaliers basketball .... connecting past and present”, the Cavaliers shared on Instagram.

With Cleveland’s announcement that their fan-favorite dark blue jerseys were making a return, they gave a schedule that lists all of the dates that Cavalier fans will get to see the team in action wearing these uniforms.

Twelve distinct dates starting on November 5th against the Philadelphia 76ers mark the return of the long-awaited uniforms, with the team set to wear them on Christmas Day when they travel to New York to take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

With the team set for another big season behind the big three in Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley, the team hopes to contend this year with the Eastern Conference riddled with unfortunate long-term injuries to some of the Cavaliers biggest competitors.

This team has plenty of hype behind it, as well as a much-improved bench to help down the stretch in some of the games that they’ll need all hands-on deck for. With more depth and the health of their star players, including Garland who’s made great progress in his recovery, the Cavaliers are seen as a legit threat to make a serious run at a championship this season.

The Cavaliers will start their 2025-26 season on the road in New York against the Knicks, who they’ve had a tough history against over the last few seasons in the Eastern Conference.
