The Staples Center is going to be full of star power this upcoming NBA season, and not just in the stands.
Just days after the LeBron James and the Lakers pulled off a trade for Anthony Davis, their co-tenants made two major moves of their own — acquiring NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and perennial All-Star Paul George. Not a bad haul.
Leonard and George are looking to help the Clippers win their first NBA title in franchise history.
And thanks to online sports retailers Fanatics and FansEdge, you can get the brand new Leonard and George jerseys so you’ll be ready for the highly-anticipated upcoming season in the fall.
There are 2 jersey types available, the Nike Swingman Jersey Icon Edition and the Fanatics Branded Fastbreak Replica Jersey Icon Edition.
The Nike jersey is made of 100 percent and is highlighted by Dri-Fit technology, which is designed to wick away moisture to keep you dry and cool. The Blue jersey has a classic design and features a crew neck, heat-sealed NBA and brand logos, straight hemline, a tagless collar for added comfort, twill applique graphics, and a woven jock tag at hem. It is machine washable and officially licensed. This jersey retails for about $110.
The Fanatics Fastbreak jersey is also made of 100 percent polyester has a “FanFit” for an on-court look.

This jersey sells for $70.
Kawhi Leonard agreed to a deal with the Clippers after being courted by a handful of teams. He reportedly struck a 3-year, $103 million deal that includes a player option in the final year (2021-22).
Leonard, a two-time NBA Champion and Finals MVP, has yet to officially been assigned a number. While he has worn No. 2 throughout his entire NBA career, he doesn’t have a number yet with L.A. As a special event item, this jersey will ship within 2 to 4 weeks after his new number is officially confirmed by the league.
Paul George’s situation is similar to Leonard’s. The NBA hasn’t officially confirmed his new number with the Clippers, but once it is, the jersey will be mailed within 2 to 4 weeks.
George came into the league in 2011 with the Pacers and wore No. 24 before switching to No. 13 for his last couple of seasons with Indiana and his stint with Oklahoma City.
George had a 4-year, $136.9 million contract, which he signed in the 2018 offseason with the OKC. He also has a player option for 2021-22.
