Philadelphia 76ers

On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers unveiled their city edition jerseys for the upcoming season. The jerseys themselves will be the core piece of the Sixers’ celebration of their efforts in the 2001 season, being a close to identical copy of the uniforms they wore that season.

The announcement came after what was a long offseason of potential teasers from the Sixers, posting videos of franchise star Allen Iverson in the iconic jerseys, as well as a teaser image on Tuesday.

The uniforms won’t be the only way that Philadelphia plans to celebrate that season, as earlier in the week, they unveiled a floor design that is heavily inspired by that which was used in the First Union Center.

All of this continues the recent trend of the Sixers celebrating the various eras of their franchise, having celebrated the years the team spent in the Spectrum last season, with a different court layout and jerseys that featured some of the iconic colors of the stadium's logo.

How do the Sixers’ fans feel about the jerseys?

Given that the jerseys had been something that the fans themselves had wanted for quite some time, as could be seen on social media over the years, they were more than happy to see their aspirations come to fruition.
