Earlier this summer the league changed its sneaker policy by lifting restrictions on players wearing colorful kicks. Now, with the season underway, the Association is debuting more "City Edition" uniforms.

Following a new uniform deal with Nike, the City Editions were first introduced last season as a way of bringing each team's city into the spirit of the design - making the city's unique identity the center of attention. And now a handful of this year's crop have already hit the internet.

Keep in mind that some of these are "leaked" and therefore unconfirmed. Nonetheless, here are a few to check out:
