Quick read
The 6ix Merchandise modern-era NBA tribute line covers three active stars who define the post-2015 league: Stephen Curry (Warriors / four-time champion / Davidson roots), Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves / second-generation 90s-era throwback), and Kyrie Irving (Mavericks / Boston era handles). All pieces are 240gsm heavyweight cotton, Toronto-designed, $80–90 CAD. This is the hub for fans who follow the current league, not the 90s nostalgia line (Kobe / Jordan / Rodman live in a separate guide).
| Player | Team / Era | Flagship piece | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stephen Curry | Warriors dynasty / 4x champ | Curry tribute hoodie | $85 |
| Anthony Edwards | Timberwolves / 90s-era revival | Edwards tribute hoodie | $85 |
| Kyrie Irving | Mavericks / Boston handles era | Kyrie tribute hoodie | $85 |
NBA tribute merch usually means the legends — Kobe, MJ, Rodman, all-time hall-of-famers. This hub focuses on the active-era stars: the guys you can still watch on TNT this week. Three picks across three franchises, three different signature shoe deals, three completely different visual identities.
If you're shopping for a young fan whose first NBA memory is the 2016 Curry MVP run or the 2022 Edwards rookie season — this is the roundup. Heavyweight 240gsm cotton, original Toronto-designed graphics, $80-90 across the line.

Three franchises, three identities
These three players don't share a team or a sneaker line, so the tribute designs in our catalog stay distinct from each other. Use the era to think about which one fits the recipient.
- Curry: Warriors blue/gold, Under Armour signature, the chef/cooking nickname iconography, late-game shimmy celebration.
- Edwards: Minnesota Wolves green/blue, Adidas signature ("Icy" branding), the new young face of the league. Tribute pieces lean into the confident-rookie energy.
- Kyrie: Multi-team history (Cavs/Celtics/Nets/Mavs) gives the tribute line a broader color palette. The Anta signature post-Nike split brought new color stories.
Why active stars vs legends
If the recipient grew up watching basketball in the 1990s-2000s, the legend tribute hub (Kobe/MJ/Rodman) is the right call. If they came up watching the 2015+ Warriors run, the Curry-era explosion of analytics-driven offense, or the post-pandemic NBA, this hub is the right frame. Both lines coexist in the catalog but they're for distinct generations of fan.
The 3 Best Picks
Stephen Curry Signature HOODIE NBA
The greatest shooter ever. Changed how basketball is played from age 22 onward — the 3-point line moved 24 inches further out in the NBA's collective imagination, and a generation of kids grew up shooting like him. Tribute pieces lean into the Warriors blue/gold palette, the 'Chef Curry' visual identity, and the iconic celebration moments (the shrug, the mouthpiece chew).

Anthony Edwards HOODIE NBA 2024
Atlanta-bred guard who's stepped into the post-LeBron next-face-of-the-league conversation. The Adidas signature deal and 'Icy' nickname locked in the visual identity — bright colors, confident athleticism, modern-throwback Atlanta vibes. Tribute pieces in 2026 are the youngest, freshest part of the catalog.

Kyrie Irving HOODIE NBA 2024
One of the most skilled ball-handlers in NBA history. From the 2016 championship game-winner to the Dallas-era playmaking, Kyrie's career has spanned eras and aesthetics. The Anta signature line (after the Nike split) introduced new color stories; older Cavs/Nike pieces still drive tribute design. Distinct from Curry-era Warriors styling.
