New York Knicks Ticket Options
History
The origin of the term “Knickerbockers” can be traced back to Dutch visitors who arrived in what we call New York today in the 17th century. More precisely, it refers to the style of pants they wore – rolled up just below the knee, which got the name “Knickerbockers,” or “knickers”. Over the ages, the “Knickerbocker” character merged into the identity of New York City and “Father Knickerbocker” came to be recognized as its cultural symbol. Most probably, it was the club’s founder, Ned Irish who made the decision to call the team the “Knickerbockers.” Later it was shortened to Knicks. Maintaining another tradition of the city, the team’s colors have always (the lone exception being the years from 1980-81 through 1982-83) been orange, blue and white.
In the 1950s, the Knicks played for the NBA title three times. But the team’s golden age came in the early 1970s, when the Knicks won two NBA championships boasting of talents like Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, Earl Monroe, and Bill Bradley. In the 1990s, the Knicks again came out strongly, advancing to the finals in 1994 and 1999.
