The Cavs unveiled their new threads via the team's official Twitter account and revealed that the original wine and gold uniforms will not be worn on opening night against the New York Knicks on Oct. 30, according to Bleacher Report. Instead, these new navy uniforms with wine and gold trims will be used:

The navy look coincides with Cleveland's new court, which has a navy border. The phrase "All For One, One For All" is written upside down in a box at the bottom of the jersey as a way to inspire solidarity in the players.

"With so much excitement and positive momentum going into this season, this special time called for a brand-new uniform to match the energy and mojo of the 2014-15 team," Cleveland's Chief Marketing Officer Tracy Marek told NBA.com. "Our special thanks to the NBA and Adidas for working with us to ensure these unique navy uniforms will be ready for opening night."
The new navy uniforms will be used as an alternate look throughout the season for both home and road games along with the traditional wine and gold jerseys.
After signing LeBron James and trading for Kevin Love in the offseason, the Cavs will usher in a new "Big 3" era. James and Love will join All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, making them the favorites to win the Eastern Conference this year.
