THE JERSEY
The 2019 Mavericks City Edition Jersey weaves deep into the fabric of the Dallas community, highlighting an eclectic arts scene that combines both the pride of the city and this team. This jersey is a true reflection of Dallas/Fort Worth arts, including bright colors, such as action green and new addition coastal blue, free-flowing creativity and unique graffiti.
The wordmark and design of the jersey represents not only the birth of the graffiti culture in the Dallas community, but also the importance of art as a vessel for expression and emotion. The Mavericks partnered with Dallas native, Tex Moton, graffiti revolutionist and co-founder of the Infinite Crew “IC” (est. 1995), and Chief Creative Officer of ALREADY Design Co., in Tex’s signature style of bold colors, and dynamic line movement that influenced the street art culture of Dallas in the late 90’s to current, he gave his modern spin to celebrate the new life and direction of the MAVS. This collaboration truly speaks to the incredible arts scene of Dallas.
The jersey features the jock tag phrase, “Deep in the Heart,” an expressive nod to the fusion of art, passion and sports in Dallas, the heart of Texas.
