LOS ANGELES – The Mavericks will unveil new, shimmery, silver uniforms Tuesday night in the season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The new look marks the first time in franchise history that the team has had an alternate road uniform, which will be used at several more games throughout the season.

"The idea of the second road uniform is to add a slight edge to our current look," owner Mark Cuban said.

The uniform includes much of the same look of the jersey and shorts that were revamped in 2001. The color, however, is strikingly different from the deep blue that the Mavericks have been wearing on the road.

The Mavs' secondary logo featuring an "M" and basketball over a shield is featured on each side of the shorts and says "Mavericks" across the chest, rather than the previous jerseys which read "Dallas."

Replica versions of the new uniform are available at the Mavs' fan shops at American Airlines Center and authentic versions will be available in the near future, team officials said.
