Nike has debuted yet another special set of NBA jerseys. Dubbed the Earned Edition uniforms, these alternates have been awarded to each of the 16 teams who made the 2017-18 NBA Playoffs. The new looks are plays on each team's Statement or City Edition designs with a different color scheme.

Select teams will be debuting their new options during this year's Christmas Day games. The remaining teams will begin to sport the jerseys shortly after. Any fans trying to purchase their favorite team's newest gear will get the opportunity on Dec. 19 when they release via nike.com, store.nba.com, and other official NBA retail partners.

Take a closer look at each team's Earned Edition jersey option below.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics' design puts a new spin on the franchise's classic clover green jerseys with yellow letters and numbers inspired by the warmup shirts of the dominant teams from the '80s.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland's Earned Edition jersey is inspired by the city's location right off of Lake Erie. A light blue, white, and navy blue color scheme is a nod to the city's icy winter weather.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers' new option continues to play on Indiana's love for racing. A white body is accented by yellow numbers and letters, as well as a navy blue race track design going down the left side. "Always Lead" is written above the bottom tag—a detail borrowed from the team's City Edition jersey.

By far the most vibrant Miami Vice-inspired color scheme, this Miami Heat jersey fully leans into its inspiration with a neon pink jersey, teal piping, and white lettering.

Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo and company will be suiting up in this Earned Edition jersey inspired by Milwaukee's 2018 City Edition makeup. It features a white body, red lettering, "Bucks" written vertically on the left chest area, and a green patch on the right shoulder inspired by the team's official colors.

The product of The Process has been given a simplified white design with numbers at the center of the chest surrounded by a 13-star crest.

Toronto Raptors

While Toronto's City Edition uniforms honor rap superstar Drake with a black and gold OVO color scheme, the Earned Edition uses the colors of the Canadian flag to represent the Six.
