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. Curry fans repping the whole squad can jump straight to the Warriors hoodie collection. 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.
Shop this pick →Kyrie already anchors this modern-era trio, so it is worth heading straight to the Kyrie Irving collection for the full range.
Of the modern-era names in this guide, none moved the game quite like the Warriors' guard, and Stephen Curry hoodies and tees stay among the most-picked pieces in the group.
