Designers Pitch Black History Month Gear to NBA - The NBA celebrated Black History Month last year by launching their "Dream BIG" campaign on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Noticing how the league also honors Hispanic heritage and Chinese New Year, New York City clothing designers Jah Meke Rodriguez and Duane Rowe came up with the idea to use African kente cloth on NBA jerseys and apparel during Black History Month. They've even created a petition to the NBA to try to have the players wear the kente-cloth jerseys and apparel for the entire month of February. Here are some of the designs of the Black History Month-inspired jerseys, shorts and apparel.(Photo: NBAbhmjerseys via Instagram)
