The start of the 2026-27 NBA regular season brings many new elements across the league, including special jersey patches for the 2026 Draft class and the winners of key season-long awards for 2025-26.
NBA Debut Patches return after their first year last season. Rookies will wear the special-edition patches in their NBA debuts, and Topps will later insert them into 1-of-1 autographed trading cards.
In addition, last season's Kia NBA MVP (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), Kia Defensive Player of the Year (Victor Wembanyama) and Kia Rookie of the Year (Cooper Flagg) will have Gold Logoman patches on the back of their uniforms for the entire season. Topps will place these patches inside ultra-rare trading cards.
