NBA Releases Team T-Shirts with Rainbow Colors for Pride Month

June is Pride Month, and the NBA is commemorating the occasion with a new line of T-shirts.

Shirts are available for all of the league's 30 teams, each with a rainbow logo.

The shirts will be available exclusively on custom apparel platform Teespring, and proceeds will benefit the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an organization that seeks to effect positive change in schools.

GLSEN executive director Eliza Byard told Cyd Zeigler of Outsports:

"

Professional sports showing up for LGBT people is one of the biggest cultural developments of the last decade, and really the last five years. The NBA has been showing up for LGBT youth and for GLSEN for a number of years. Having this be a league-wide initiative, knowing any LGBT fan in the country can choose to celebrate their team and themselves with one of those shirts, that's a whole new thing.

"

According to Zeigler, the NBA's shirts mark the first time one of the four major North American sports leagues has rendered its team logos in rainbow colors.
