I’ll be honest: I may have caught all of five regular-season Knicks games this year. But now that the team has made it to the NBA finals (for the first time since 1999, by the way), I’ve gone full Timothée Chalamet—minus the courtside seats (ticket donations are absolutely welcome!).
Maybe that makes me a performative fan. Or maybe it just means I know when to show up! If you’re going to hop on the bandwagon, this is the stop to do it. Naturally, as a new (but emotionally invested!) supporter, I was immediately in the market for Knicks merch to show off my team spirit—because nothing says “I’ve totally been here the whole time” like panic-ordering blue and orange in June.
While we only have a few days left before Game 5—where there’s a very real chance that the Knicks could clinch their first championship since 1973; cue the screaming— I’ve scoured the internet for the best tees, hats, and jackets to give my fandom a more convincing “this-is-definitely-not-my-first-rodeo” type of legitimacy. I even threw in San Antonio Spurs styles for my enemies opponents!
Almost everything will arrive in time by Saturday, or at worst, for Game 6—which, admittedly, I’m sorta hoping will happen... It’s my first finals! I’m not ready for it to end! And “Knicks in six” has a better ring to it anyway.
This forest camo mesh jersey from Aeropostale is low-key so cool, you’ll wanna wear it beyond basketball season. It’s the ultimate sporty spice, it girl style and available in every single size (shocking). The $8 standard ground shipping will get it to you by a potential Game 6, but spring for the $13 two-day shipping and you’ll have it in time for Saturday’s tip-off.
This workwear jacket is so WAG-coded. Style it with your chicest outfit and just toss it over your shoulders for an effortless touch of team spirit. Size up for a slightly oversized fit (I went with the medium!).
Everyone knows a baseball hat is the easy, low-lift style strategy for gameday, but this San Antonio Spurs Bow Stack version levels up that formula. You have the freedom to wear literally anything and still maintain your fan status. Plus, it’ll ship in one day!
Not only is the NBA store offering free shipping right now with code NBA39 but almost everything is shipping out...immediately. Take Concrete Apple Tee, for example—it’s guaranteed to ship out on or before Monday!
I won’t lie, the shipping estimate is a little less timely—whether your purchase arrives in time for Game 5 is a big TBD—but the styles are so cute I’m willing to gamble on it. I’m so obsessed with this barely-cropped Spurs tee, I almost converted sides.
I love a good oversized tee (it’s the selfish reason I’m always gifting new graphic styles to my boyfriend) and this neutral-ish Knicks style is such a good one. I’ll be wearing this one over lace-trim silk shorts or half-tucked with my fave jeans.
If you’re more of a “here for the snacks” type of fan (so real, especially when there’s fresh ‘za on the table), this cheeky tee is a must. It’s the personality hire of the bunch with a still obvious showing of New York pride.
Wemby stan? Don’t even think twice about hitting “add to cart” on this tee. Every other version is nearly sold out on the site. This is your chance and it will ship by Monday!
Not the t-shirt and jeans type? These trendy Knicks boxer shorts will give your gameday look an unexpected edge (in the best way), no matter how you choose to style ‘em. Bonus points: they can double as PJ shorts in the offseason.
Oh, c’mon, it wouldn’t be a merch haul without a jersey. Rep our boy Brunson in this under-$100 design. My advice? Get it a few sizes up and style it as a dress.
I was seething of jealousy when I saw this Dannijopro Spurs Bomber Jacket (and realized there wasn’t a New York version for my Knicks). It has the most flattering cropped fit and will arrive in two days—bless Revolve shipping! But you’ll wanna hit add to cart, like, now. Sizes are selling out fast.
Rep Knicks blue and orange with this lightweight track jacket that has so much styling potential—tie or drape it over your shoulders, wrap it around the waist, or throw it on when the MSG (manifesting) air conditioning is on full-blast.
It would be financially irresponsible to not buy this $20 Spurs pullover, especially considering it’s perfectly oversized fit you’ll wanna wear on the reg. When you break it down by costs per wear, the style’s practically free.
Hey, who says you have to pick a side to support!? This ‘47 Knicks vs. Spurs hat commemorates the occasion for the unbiased “I just hope everyone has fun!” fan.
Look away, Spurs fans. These mesh shorts are from the brand that sums it up perfectly: It’s New York or Nowhere—and Knicks or no one!
