It’s official, the New York Knicks are the 2026 NBA Champions. If you live in New York City (or a surrounding suburb), you know Knicks fever is still completely inescapable. For the first time since 1973, the Knicks are champs, and it’s safe to say the city is ecstatic. Usually chilly New Yorkers are beaming with pride for their team, shouting out “Let’s go Knicks” with the same verve they normally save for cussing out a wayward cabby. It’s impossible not to get sucked up in the excitement, irregardless of whether you can tell a lay-up from a free throw.

And while basketball season may be over, it doesn’t seem like the blue and orange spirit is fading any time soon. Knicks gear is still ubiquitous, but there are more stylish ways to support the team without a trip to the NBA store (because, let’s be honest, those Championship shirts were not designed by any creative director we know). Below, shop the pieces that will make you look like a true fan, even if you just learned of Jalen Brunson’s existence last month.
