Key Takeaways
- Gerber runs the whole list: Every one of these 7 is a Gerber NBA piece, so you get the same soft cotton and snap construction across teams.
- Deepest cut is the Sixers set: The Philadelphia Sixers shirt and shorts set in 18 months is the steepest markdown here.
- Newborn pick: The Orlando Magic Sleep ‘N Play in 0-3 months is a limited time deal and the easiest entry for a brand new baby.
- Three bestseller #1 ranks: The Mavericks 2T set, the Magic sleeper, and the Raptors sleeper all sit at the top of their lists right now.
The NBA Finals are running right now, and if there’s a basketball fan in your house, there is also a small person who is about to be dressed in their team colors whether they consent or not. That’s just how it works. June is when the team-licensed baby clothes start moving, and this week the Berry Basket landed on a stack of Gerber NBA pieces that cover newborns all the way up to wobbling toddlers.
What caught my eye is that this isn’t some no-name shop printing a logo on a cheap blank. It’s all Gerber, the same brand parents already trust for onesies and sleepers, just with a Sixers or Mavericks badge on the front. Every piece here is sold and shipped by the same seller, sits high on its bestseller list, and uses the snap closures and cotton you’d expect from Gerber’s regular line. The team gear is the only thing that changed.
Heavy on toddler shorts sets this week, with a couple of footed sleepers for the babies who can’t walk to the TV yet. I’ll flag which markdowns are real and which are barely a discount, because not all of these are the same kind of deal. Prices verified June 12, 2026.
What are the best NBA shorts sets for toddler boys?
The toddler shirt and shorts sets are the strongest value here, with the Sixers and Mavericks pieces sitting at the top of the discount range. These are warm-weather two-piece outfits, so they suit June and the months of heat ahead better than anything fleece.
Gerber Sixers Shirt and Shorts Set
This Philadelphia Sixers set in 18 months is the deepest markdown on the whole list, which is a little surprising for something ranked #3 in its category. You get a short-sleeve top and matching shorts, so it’s a full summer outfit in one buy. If your toddler runs warm or you just want a no-fuss play outfit for the heat, this is the one I’d grab first.
- Short-sleeve top and matching shorts
- Philadelphia Sixers team colors
- 18 months size
Gerber Mavericks Shirt and Shorts Set
The Dallas Mavericks version in 2T is the #1 bestseller in its category, and the price reflects how fast it’s moving. Same two-piece short-sleeve and shorts build as the Sixers set, just sized up for an older toddler. Mavs fans with a two-year-old should not overthink this one.
- Two-piece toddler outfit
- Dallas Mavericks branding
- 2T size, #1 bestseller
Gerber Nuggets Shirt and Shorts Set
The Denver Nuggets set in 12 months was added to the pool an hour before I wrote this, and it’s the smallest size of the three shorts sets. The discount is a touch shallower than the Sixers and Mavs, but still a real cut off the regular price. Good for a baby who’s just starting to crawl around and needs cool, easy-on clothes.
- Short-sleeve set for warm weather
- Denver Nuggets team colors
- 12 months size
Which NBA baby pajamas are worth it?
The two pajama options split into footless and snug fit, and they’re aimed at different ages. The Mavericks footless pair is the better buy of the two on discount, while the Celtics snug fit is closer to its everyday price.
Gerber Mavericks Footless Pajamas
These Dallas Mavericks footless pajamas in 18 months are unisex and one of the bigger markdowns here. Footless is the right call for summer because it keeps little feet from overheating, and it stretches the wear window since you’re not fighting a fixed foot size. If you’re building a Mavs baby wardrobe, pairing these with the 2T shorts set covers both day and night.
- Unisex footless design
- Cooler fit for summer
- Dallas Mavericks, 18 months
Gerber Celtics Snug Fit Pajamas
Gerber Unisex Toddler NBA Team Snug Fit Cotton Pajamas, Boston Celtics, 12 Months
The Boston Celtics snug fit cotton pajamas in 12 months are a tighter-fitting style meant to meet sleepwear safety guidelines. The discount is modest compared to the shorts sets, so this is more of a buy-it-because-you-want-Celtics-gear than a chase-the-deal pick. Snug fit cotton is comfortable and breathable, just know it’s cut close to the body by design.
- Snug fit cotton sleepwear
- Boston Celtics branding
- 12 months size
What about NBA clothes for newborns?
For the smallest babies, the Sleep ‘N Play one-piece sleepers are the way to go, sized 0-3 months and 6-9 months. These are footed, snap-front, and the most practical thing a newborn can wear since they cover everything in a single zip or snap.
Gerber Magic Sleep 'N Play
This Orlando Magic Sleep ‘N Play in 0-3 months is my newborn pick, marked as a limited time deal and ranked #1 in its category. It’s a footed one-piece with snaps, so middle-of-the-night changes stay simple and you’re not hunting for socks. For a brand new baby or a baby shower gift for a Magic household, this is the easy answer.
- Footed snap-front one-piece
- Orlando Magic team colors
- 0-3 months, #1 bestseller
Gerber Raptors Sleep 'N Play
The Toronto Raptors Sleep ‘N Play in 6-9 months is the same footed one-piece style, sized up for an older baby. I’ll be honest, the discount here is slim, barely off the regular price, so this is one to grab only if you specifically want Raptors gear in that size. The product itself is fine, the markdown just isn’t the reason to buy.
- Footed one-piece sleeper
- Toronto Raptors branding
- 6-9 months size
Frequently asked questions
Are these official NBA baby clothes?
Yes, these are Gerber NBA team pieces made under license, so the team names and colors are official. Gerber makes the garments using the same cotton and snap construction as its standard baby line. You’re getting a trusted baby brand with team branding added.
What sizes do these NBA baby clothes come in?
This roundup spans 0-3 months up to 2T. The Sleep ‘N Play sleepers cover newborns and young babies, the pajamas and shorts sets cover 12 months through 2T. Check each card for the exact size and team before buying.
Which one is the best deal right now?
The Philadelphia Sixers shirt and shorts set in 18 months has the deepest markdown of the seven. The Dallas Mavericks 2T set is close behind and ranked #1 in its category. The Raptors sleeper has the smallest discount, so skip it unless you want that specific team.
Are footless or footed sleepers better for summer?
Footless pajamas like the Mavericks pair keep babies cooler in summer heat and extend wear since you’re not limited by foot size. Footed Sleep ‘N Play one-pieces are better for newborns who need full coverage and easy changes. For June and beyond, footless gives more breathing room.
This was a single-brand week, which keeps things simple. Discounts ran from roughly the high teens on the Raptors sleeper up past 80% on the Sixers and Mavericks shorts sets. The originals look legitimate too, not the inflated-then-slashed routine you see on some licensed gear, since Gerber’s regular pricing is easy to check across its catalog.
The standout is the Sixers shorts set without much debate. It’s the biggest cut, it’s a complete summer outfit, and it’s a brand I’d dress my own kid in. The Mavericks 2T set and the Orlando Magic newborn sleeper are the two I’d add right after. What I’d skip is the Raptors Sleep ‘N Play, not because it’s bad, but because the discount is so thin you may as well wait or pick it up at full price whenever. If you want one piece to actually save on, the toddler shorts sets are where the money is.
Expect more team-licensed baby gear to surface while the Finals are live and into July, so if your team isn’t in this batch, keep checking. Gerber tends to rotate which teams get marked down, so a deep cut on one franchise this week often means another shows up next week. If you missed last week’s baby deals, plenty of those are still live.
