Considering the fact that LeBron was in the league when they were a CURRENT uniform over 20 years ago, it’s so insane

How is this possible if it’s not replacing the statement jersey? Don’t they rotate what teams can wear classic jerseys every year (which is a bad rule btw).

Sixers need to bring back the Iverson uniforms as part of a rebrand.

Black throwbacks being back got me thinking they’re gonna try to integrate a modern, remixed version of those joints for the following season similar to what the Timberwolves did in their rebrand modernizing the KG black trees. Black statements with red trim for 2027 in the works perhaps?

rahbee33 | PHI

18 | 11 hours ago

We’re probably about due for a full refresh. It’s been about 10 years with the main jerseys with the stars down the side. I’d want to keep the mostly red white and blue, but switching to the Iverson era logo would be cool.

ThisWay_DatWay | GSW

4 | 11 hours ago

I’d say if you guys manage to pull off a refresh (or at the very least, a new statement jersey) that retains your current and historic colors while finding a way to bring back the Iverson-era black, I’d call it a success.

They’re not really busy colors to mix and match anyways. Hopefully nothing like the Boathouse Row city editions y’all had in ²⁰⁄₂₁.

Another case of a team’s retro branding being so amazing and iconic that they have to keep bringing them back as alternate jerseys and courts instead of just… going back to their old designs full time.

Quiet_Foot_9669 | PHI

instead of just… going back to their old designs full time.

imo, these throwback alternates are better as alternates. If they switched to these full-time, fans would inevitably want the team to bring back the classic red white and blue uniforms we currently have.

Eric_T_Meraki

1 | 8 hours ago

Most of it has to do with LeBron being on the time I imagine. Brown to an extent too. Those jerseys go too hard and will sell like hotcakes again with this year squad. The knockoffs on Allieexpress already get tons of sells.

I believe players who wore 6 before it was retired league wide got a carve out to keep wearing it if they want to, like Deandre Jordan.

However like the other commenter said the 6ers already retired the number 6 for Dr J anyways so it doesn’t matter.

The Spurs are keeping the fiestas for this season too; maybe we’re starting to see a move away from four new and slightly different jerseys every season towards keeping the good stuff around. The league went through over a thousand jerseys in a decade, and it feels like they ran out of ideas.

However, the two-toned color of wood being such different colors is really bad looking to me, and it isn’t what the Sixers used back in the Iverson era

screenshot of the Sixers home court design for the 2001 Finals

notice the color of the wood, that looks wayyy better to me. I also prefer the lane paint being light blue. (Black jerseys + black paint = awful aesthetics for trying to watch a game)

NYGIANTS77 | NYK

The only reason I think they aren’t legit contenders is because Embiid doesn’t play defense like he used to. The east has a lot of elite guards and if they have to hide him from being pulled out of the paint every time it’s gonna become a problem. And then specifically against the Knicks they seem too small. If they get a decent big somehow, they can be legit.

I love shitting on the Sixers as much as the next guy, but I’m not so sure about this one. Sure they got crushed by New York, but coming back from down 3-1 to beat Boston last year was genuinely impressive. Then they upgraded from PG to Brown and added LeBron whose still got some juice in the tank.

I could definitely seem them crashing and burning, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they were one of the top teams in the East this year either.

I mean that’s 2 of the 15 players that made All NBA last year. Two players that led their teams to the playoffs while their respective teams best player missed significant time during the season. They should be able to carry the load of the regular season and be solidly in the playoffs while Embiid and LeBron take the regular season easy.
