The Thunder has done away with one of its alternate jerseys.

A team official said Sunday that the Thunder will no longer wear its navy blue alternate uniform. The uniform, which debuted during the 2012-13 season, drew mixed reviews from fans but the team didn't provide a specific reason for it going away. During last postseason, however, Kevin Durant said Russell Westbrook typically decided which alternates the team wore.

"Russ usually controls it," Durant said in April. "Russ and our equipment manager." That's not to say Westbrook nixed the navy alternates this season.

The last time the team wore the jersey? During a 124-92 loss to San Antonio in the 2016 Western Conference semifinals. The team also wore them in Games 3 and 4 on the road against Dallas in the first round. In 2012, teams were allowed to wear their alternate jersey on the road 10 times during the season and twice at home.

The Thunder debuted its "Sunset" alternate jersey last year, which has become a staple at Sunday home games at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

It's unknown if there will be a replacement for the jersey this season, but Nike takes over as the official apparel provider for the NBA in 2017-18.
