Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced today that Wednesday, June 10, will be recognized across City government offices and New York City public schools as Wear Blue and Orange Day in honor of the New York Knicks. Students, educators and City employees are invited to wear blue and orange ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The Eastern Conference champion New York Knicks have worn blue, white and orange throughout the team's history. The colors pay tribute to the official colors of the City of New York.
"Nothing says 'let's go Knicks' like blue and orange," said Mayor Mamdani. "As our Knicks continue this historic run, we're inviting New Yorkers to show their pride, wear the city's colors and stand behind a team that has brought all of New York together. We're so glad to have them back to Madison Square Garden in front of the best fans in the world."
The Knicks will host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. New York currently holds a 2-1 lead in the series.
