The New York Knicks are having one of their most exciting seasons in years — and with a trip to the Finals on the line, it felt like the perfect time to create a small set of wallpapers for fellow fans.
So I put together a collection of custom wallpapers for:
- iPhone
- Apple Watch
- Apple Watch Ultra
The designs are intentionally simple and clean, built around classic Knicks colors and logo treatments that work especially well for game days.
Whether you’re watching from Madison Square Garden, your couch, or checking scores throughout the day, these add a nice bit of Knicks energy to your devices.
Download the wallpapers below and get ready for game time.

A Quick Design Note
I wanted these to feel a bit more refined than typical sports wallpapers — less cluttered, cleaner typography, and better balance for lock screens and watch faces.
The softer blue background also works nicely with iOS and watchOS widgets without overwhelming the screen.
How to Use the Apple Watch Wallpapers
To use the Apple Watch versions, save the wallpaper image to your iPhone first. Then:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone
- Tap Face Gallery
- Select the Photos watch face
- Choose Photos or Selected Photos
- Select the downloaded Knicks wallpaper
- Customize the complications and time placement if desired
- Tap Add
The wallpaper will then sync to your Apple Watch or Apple Watch Ultra as a custom watch face.
I designed these specifically to work well with the Photos watch face layout, leaving enough room for the clock while keeping the Knicks branding prominent during game time.
Let’s Go Knicks
It’s been a long time since Knicks basketball has felt this exciting.
This season has been fun to watch, and hopefully these wallpapers add a little extra energy heading into the Finals.
