Wembanyama's Spurs Bring Back Fiesta City Edition
San Antonio unveiled its City Edition uniforms for 2025-26, bringing back the popular "Fiesta" teal‑pink‑orange triple stripe first shown in 2020. The jersey — with "San Antonio" on the chest and paintbrush stripes on the shorts — debuts Nov. 12 vs. Golden State and will be worn this season and next. The timing matters: the throwback arrives as the Spurs sit 5-1 and are suddenly relevant again. Merlin sees the design as more than nostalgia; the stripe evokes the 1998‑99 championship dawn and now accompanies Victor Wembanyama’s MVP‑level surge (26.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4.7 blocks). If the city yellows the court in confidence, the uniform could become a talisman. If not, it will still look handsome in the highlight reels.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of San Antonio reaching the NBA Finals this season: 20%.
