I’ve only been a Knicks fan and I will only be a Knicks fan. So much so, that I only got my first pair of Jordans in my 30s because I couldn’t be a Michael Jordan fan as a dedicated Knicks fan. Reggie Miller is in the same category. They made my pre-teen and teenage years hell. Knicks fourth quarters haunt me and I’ll turn it off if I feel like me watching is jinxing them. I grew up on Ewing, Mason, Oakley, Jackson and my favorite, John Starks. When you could scuffle and brawl and keep playing. No griddy dancing.

So when I saw Cho make these shorts from a basketball jersey, I spent days watching and rewatching his video. I was making a Knicks version. I WAS MAKING A KNICKS VERSION!!!! And I finally did it and I’ve worn them a few times already!!Yet again, I used Purl Soho’s City Gym Shorts as a base. I used the tags and badges and trim. I love this because I can’t tell you the last time that I wore a basketball jerseys but I’d wear it this way for years to come!

There are 2 possible changes for next time: lengthen shorts and more space in the seat for a baggier look. Don’t worry, I have more jerseys to do this later!
