Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys: Home, Icon& Statement
Memphis GrizzliesDeep blue, grit and grind, and a city that shows up
The Grizzlies began in Vancouver and moved to Memphis in 2001. Two decades on, the club has one of the more distinctive identities in the league — and a blue that is unmistakable.
The short version
Thirty seconds on who this club is and what its jersey means to the people who wear them.
The franchise joined as an expansion team for the 1995-96 season in Vancouver, British Columbia, and it did not work. After the 2000-01 season the club moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where it has stayed, and where it is the only major professional sports team based in the city.
The move gave the club an identity it could not have had on the west coast. Memphis is a music city with a specific self-image, and the Grizzlies built a team in the 2010s — the grit-and-grind side — that fit it exactly. That team never won a title, but it is remembered, and the jersey carries it.

What they have won
The record as it stands. A club's honours are also the reason certain jerseys exist at all — anniversary designs are not random.
- #9
- #33
- #50
Numbers this club has taken out of circulation. Half the throwbacks on the shelf exist because of one of them.
The story so far
Where the club came from, and why the jersey means what it means.
The current blue is one of the more saturated colourways in the league, which makes it work well as casual wear and slightly intimidating as a jersey. The trim has been through a few iterations; the blue has been the constant since the Memphis move.
For a buyer, part of the appeal is that Memphis is nobody's default answer. You do not buy this jersey because it is the obvious one. You buy it because you watched a specific era, or because the colourway is better than most people realise.
The Memphis Grizzlies founded in 1995, play out of FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, compete in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference and wear beale street blue, memphis midnight blue, steel gray, gold. The franchise is still chasing its first NBA title.
Walk into the building and the rafters tell you the rest: #9, #33 and #50 are all retired, hanging above the floor as a reminder of how long this club has mattered to the people who follow it. If your reason for buying a Memphis Grizzlies jersey is a specific era, one of those numbers is almost certainly why.
On the shelf you will find Icon Edition, City Edition, Statement Edition, Association Edition and Hardwood Classics, pulled from seasons running from 2019/20 through 2025/26. The names people ask for most are Ja Morant, Cameron Boozer, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Cedric Coward — if you have someone specific in mind, that is where to look first.
The colourways, explained
Memphis Grizzlies has stock across Icon Edition, City Edition, Statement Edition, Association Edition and Hardwood Classics. Before you pick one, it is worth knowing what separates them — the editions are genuinely different pieces of the club's identity, not colour swaps of the same shirt.
Icon The primary colourway
The one you picture when you close your eyes. Icon takes the club's primary colour as its base and dresses the whole jersey in it, which is why it reads loudest from the top of the upper deck. If you only ever own one, this is usually the one.
City Redesigned every year
The one that changes annually. City jerseys dig into the city rather than the club — a neighbourhood, a moment in local history, a piece of street art — and they only ever run for a single season. That is exactly why they age well: the year on the label tells a story later. If you like your jerseys to mean something specific, start here.
Statement The alternate
The third look, and the one the design team gets to have fun with — darker bases, bolder trim, sometimes an entirely new colour introduced for a single season. Statement jerseys are where a club's graphics department says something.
Association Home white
White base, club colours doing the talking around the collar, the armholes and the numbers. Historically the home look — the jersey the team wears in its own building. It goes with everything, which is why it outsells its louder siblings among people who don't want to look like they're heading to a game.
Whose name to put on the back
Most people arrive knowing the name they want. These are the ones we carry for Memphis Grizzlies — the ones with a full page are marked.
Swingman, Replica, or Custom?
The build matters as much as the colourway. Here is what actually separates them, in plain terms.
Swingman The standard fan build
The fan jersey most people mean. Light mesh, stitched or heat-pressed lettering and numbers, and a cut that sits properly on the body without being tight. It is the right answer for roughly nine out of ten people, and it holds up to actual wear rather than hanging in a wardrobe.
Replica Lighter on the wallet
A simpler build — printed detailing rather than heavier applied lettering, and a lighter hand overall. If you want the look at the lowest entry point, this is where you start. It is not trying to be the on-court jersey.
Custom Your name, your number
Blank or pick-your-own — a name and a number of your choosing. It is the answer when the exact player is not in stock, when it is a gift for someone whose favourite never got a jersey, or when you simply want your own name across the back.
Player Edition Closest to on-court
Built to the specification the players actually wear. Heavier fabric, deeper detail, and a fit that is intentionally athletic rather than relaxed. Pick this if you care about the details people only notice up close.
Sizes and who they are for
Jerseys are cut to be worn over something else, which is why the tag size never quite matches a t-shirt. Here is how the runs differ.
Adult Standard sizes
The standard adult run. Jerseys are cut to be worn over a t-shirt, so the shoulder sits slightly wide by design — that is the silhouette, not a sizing error. If you want it fitted, size down; if you want the baggy look most people are after, stay true.
Women's Tapered cut
A narrower shoulder, a shorter body and a waist that actually tapers. Same design, drawn for a different frame rather than simply scaled down.
Youth For younger fans
Sized for kids and cut a little more forgivingly, because it is going to be worn hard. Worth checking the size guide against a favourite t-shirt rather than guessing from age.
Big & Tall Extra length
Added length and width for taller or broader frames. Same jersey, more room, without the shoulders drifting halfway down the arm.
From the shelf
