The NBA's Christmas Day uniforms for 2012.

Have a look at these new NBA Christmas Day jerseys, which the league was kind enough to post to Instagram on Monday. Christmas Day NBA schedule marks the unofficial start of the NBA season for most casual fans.

It's a special occasion, and special occasions deserve special clothes. All 10 teams playing on Christmas will have special uniforms -- "#BIGcolor unis!"

Our own Mike Foss (@themikefoss) finds the Knicks jerseys in particular to be "ho-ho-rendous!"

1. Sock monkey!

This Spurs sock monkey is as cuddly as Tim Duncan!
