Last and possibly the coolest and most meaningful jersey to be unveiled on Wednesday was the Grizzlies alternate that they will wear to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. for their annual home game on MLK Day.

This jersey pays homage to one of the greatest activists of our time on the 50th anniversary of his tragic assassination. It is a really good looking jersey and a very cool and worthwhile idea by the Grizzlies.
The emblem beneath the color is that of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Here is a closer look at the patch on the shorts:
