San Francisco Warriors Jerseys
The design era of a San Francisco Warriors jersey is fixed forever, which is unusual for a garment and is exactly why the older designs keep selling.
Everything on this page is a fixed design. Nothing here will change next season, which is the point.
Short answer: How do you choose between the three San Francisco Warriors jerseys, and what size should you order? Work out how often it gets worn first and what size you actually need — that one answer rules out two of the three builds before you compare anything else.
Key facts about San Francisco Warriors
The Philadelphia Warriors before the move — the line that settles it on San Francisco Warriors.
San Francisco Warriors jerseys: three builds, one colourway
| Detail | What to look at | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Collar shape | Width, ribbing, and how it sits against the neck | The fastest single era signal |
| Side panels | A strip of contrasting fabric from armpit to hem | Clearest marker of the early 2000s |
| Number outline | Whether the number has a visible stroke or a solid fill | Outlines were common through the 1990s |
| Trim weight | Ribbed trim versus thin binding | Thick rib points to a display-oriented build |
| Fabric sheen | Matte mesh versus slightly shiny heavy mesh | Shiny usually means display, not everyday wear |
Blue and gold. Colourways from different eras are not the same shade, so match against the photo rather than the era name. Applies to San Francisco Warriors; each product page carries its own chart.

Full breakdown
The one thing that actually varies
This is the pre-Bay Area chapter and it is shorter than most people expect: nine seasons in San Francisco, preceded by a long run in Philadelphia. Blue and gold was used throughout, so colour will not date anything here. What separates these designs from the modern Warriors line is the narrow cut and the crest rather than a wordmark.
Frequently asked questions
5questions
1How do I know which era a San Francisco Warriors jersey is from?
Start with the collar, then check for side panels and whether the number has an outline. Two matching details will place it; one detail on its own will not.
2Are vintage San Francisco Warriors jerseys more expensive than current ones?
Usually, and the reason is the build. Vintage lines use a heavier mesh and a substantial collar because the period look depends on both.
3What separates the San Francisco Warriors designs from the modern ones?
The cut and the badge. San Francisco-era designs are narrow with a crest; the modern designs are broader and use a wordmark. The blue-and-gold palette is similar.
4Which San Francisco Warriors seasons are worth picking?
The 1990s set is the one most people come for, and the 2000s run holds up just as well if you prefer the cleaner graphics of that period. What matters more than any single season is whether you want a design you have not already seen worn on a weekly basis.
5Are older San Francisco Warriors jerseys smaller than current ones?
Patterns shift slightly year to year, so an older design can sit differently on the same chest measurement. Check the flat-garment chest width on the product page rather than assuming the current size chart applies.
