Alana Haim Makes Taylor Swift’s Nicks Game Shirt for Game 4

Taylor Swift turned up for the nicks game in a blue and orange shirt that read “Stevie Knicks,” and Alana Haim made it for her before Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. The shirt was part of a matching set worn by four people at Game 4, with Swift, Mariska Hargitay, and the Haim sisters all in Knicks-themed gear.

Alana Haim’s Home Setup

Haim said Swift texted her, “I want to wear this shirt to the game, can you make it for me?” Haim’s reply was simple: “I thought you would never ask, this is my dream.” She said she and Swift came up with the “Stevie Knicks” pun together.

She made the shirts at home with a Cricut and a small screen-printing setup. The blanks came from Michael’s, where she bought royal blue Gildan shirts for $2.99 each, then applied Speedball orange screen-printing ink with puff additive. That is how one shirt for Swift became three more for the rest of the group.

Swift, Hargitay, and the Haims

The rest of the group kept the same theme. Mariska Hargitay wore a shirt to match Swift’s, while Este Haim and Danielle Haim leaned into their own versions with “Knickelback” and “Knickolas Cage.” The shirts made the whole group part of the same look, not just one celebrity wearing a custom piece.

Haim has long been drawn to merch and uses custom shirts and tote bags as a creative outlet, so this was more than a one-off favor. The result was a hand-made set built around Game 4, with four people wearing coordinated Knicks-themed shirts inside Madison Square Garden. For anyone watching the celebrity side of the night, the takeaways were straightforward: Swift wanted the shirt, Haim made it at home, and the finished piece carried the kind of in-joke that only works when the people wearing it know exactly why they are there.
