On Wednesday night, a gaggle of celebrities showed up to cheer on the New York Knicks as they defeated the Spurs in game four with a last-second buzzer-beater. There were the usual suspects: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet in Chrome Hearts Canadian tuxedos, Jordyn Woods, and Ben Stiller. Also sitting courtside was soon-to-be bride Taylor Swift, with her longtime squad members Alana and Este Haim. The trio jumped, hugged, and danced as the Knicks tore through their 29-point deficit, but it was their punny shirts that really stole the show.
All three women wore matching Knicks-blue shirts, each with a different pop-culture pun in orange font: “Stevie Knicks” for Swift, “Knickelback” for Alana, and “Knickole Kidman” for Este. Even better? They gave a back-up “Stevie Knicks” shirt to Mariska Hargitay, who sat next to them courtside and changed into her new tee halfway through the game.
Though she didn’t sit in celebrity row with her sisters, Danielle Haim was also at the game Wednesday night in her very own “Knickolas Cage” tee. Later in the evening, 20-year-old singer Sombr was seen leaving Zero Bond donning Alana’s creation (matching with Swift and Hargitay).
Alana’s rep confirmed to The Cut that she custom-made the tees (remember her “Team Ciara” masterpiece?), but declined to share more details. This leads me to believe you probably won’t be able to buy them online, but here’s hoping some copycats will pop up on Etsy before the next game on Saturday.
