This Doodle’s Key Themes
About the NBA Playoffs
All season long, across 82 hard-fought games, players gave their all for the jerseys on their backs and the cities they represent. In celebration of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, we’ve teamed up with the NBA to sport these iconic jerseys on our homepage. This Doodle reimagines the Google logo through the iconic textures, stitches, colors, and typography that NBA fans know and love. All 16 teams that advanced to the playoffs are represented in the Doodle letters.
It’s time to rep your home team’s jersey to bring them luck in the playoffs!
