Trae Young Talks the Atlanta Hawks Honoring Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. with the 2020-21 NBA City Edition Uniform & Court

The 2020-21 NBA season tips off in a few weeks and teams across the league are getting back in the gym

With teams preparing for the start of the season, the Atlanta Hawks and their new look roster are in the building, learning and getting ready to make a playoff push in the Eastern conference.

The Atlanta Hawks held media day today (Dec. 1st) for their all-star point guard Trae Young.

Earlier today, the Atlanta Hawks unveiled their MLK City Edition Court for 2020-21 NBA Season.The MLK City Edition-branded court will extend the recognition of Dr. King to the main floor of State Farm Arena. Mirroring the City Edition uniform colorway of Infinity Black, Vintage Gold, and Fidelity White, the iconic MLK initials along the court’s sideline are flanked by “Freedom Stars” that represent the 22 times Dr. King was arrested fighting for equality and the dedicated student freedom fighters who engaged in sit-ins all over the South.

The court features a stylized Hawks Primary Icon logo at the center which incorporates the MLK City Edition colorway along with team’s core uniform colors – Torch Red and Legacy Yellow – in a mosaic pattern reminiscent of a stained-glass motif.

During his media day, Hawks star point guard spoke with TheseUrbanTimes own Terrell Thomas about the honor of wearing “MLK” across his jersey and how important it is to be honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
