Adidas unveiled the new look on social media.

During his time in Athens, Edwards was the SEC Rookie of the Year and second-team All-SEC honoree. He averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 32 games.

Edwards' success has carried over to the NBA where he is coming off of the best season of his career where he averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. This summer, he added a gold medal with Team USA basketball in the Paris Olympics.

The future is bright for Ant, but he'll always remember his roots.
