I suspect the only reason they are changing back to East vs West was because of Nike asking them to do so. Lol. Like, you’re not going to buy a jersey until you know what team your favorite player is playing for. Also, I’m sure Nike probably had a bunch of All-Star jerseys just sitting, where the jersey wasn’t even worn by a particular player. At least if it’s East vs West, there’s now a level of certainty for consumers and suppliers. Nike won’t be making a bunch of red jerseys for Giannis and blue jerseys for Lebron.
