    *Trigger warning for The Juggler* 

    Based on some leaks it looks like the NBA will be doing jerseys for the 75th anniversary of the league next year that will be mashups of multiple designs throughout teams’ history. No leak of the Sixers design yet, but I will proceed with getting my hopes up only to likely be disappointed when it’s revealed. 


    I mean...some of these are kind of cool. I've seen worse. Why not just go completely old school for the 75th though? Pick out a team's most iconic jersey and just use that one. 

    All I want is the 80's Sixers jerseys to come back. Simple, elegant, tough. Perfection. 
    I kind of like some of them too. Notice the striping on the side of the Nets jersey as a nod to the ABA Nets jerseys. That’s a classy touch. Hawks ones are really nice too.

    Sixers jerseys throughout the years are weird to me, because they are almost all really good, but none of them are stone cold classics in my opinion. Iverson-era will always be my favorites, but that’s 100% due to nostalgia. I really like the white/blue 80s jerseys, but the away version in red would be so much better in blue in my opinion. I am a total sucker for blue though. The current blue jerseys very well might be my favorite Sixers jerseys ever if I wasn’t so biased towards the Iverson ones. 
    The Sixers old blue ones were from the 70's. They were the home white and road red's in the 80's during Doc and Barkley's era. Maybe I am biased towards them but I think they're the best. I never liked the Iverson era ones for the same reason I hate the black Eagles jersey---black has never been one of their team colors! lol.....whenever teams went that route, it just wreaked of a 90's kind of gimmick to me. 

    Yeah I like the Nets, Bulls and Mavs ones a little bit. For the Hawks, I wish they'd go for the 80's Dominque era. Nothing from that 90's Hawks era stands out to me at all.

    Never loved the black 76ers jerseys, although they definitely remind you of the 2000-01 team.

    But come on, what's more iconic than this?

    What I really hate about kids these days is the idea that the late 90's/aughts Sixers unis have any business being revived. Just fucking brutal colors, jerseys, mascot, the whole deal. Only thing that saved it all was Iverson.

    Yes I know which ones you’re talking about, I’m just saying that I love the white home jerseys from the Erving/Barkley era, but I wish the red away ones were blue with white letters/numbers instead. That would probably make them the GOAT for me. It also kind of annoys me that the away ones are considered more iconic from that era. Dr. J went behind the backboard and rocked the baby in the white one, yet Mitchell and Ness keeps reproducing the red one. 

    I actually have my first ever “authentic” jersey on the way from Mitchell and Ness right now. I have a few “swingman” jerseys which are usually in the $100 range. I don’t even want to say what I paid for this one, it still makes me sick. One thing in particular that I like about it is that it’s specifically from the 1999-00, which is the year that Wilt died, that’s what it has the black stripe on the shoulder. This is also the only year that they wore these jerseys, the blue ones in the years following were the silky material that they used starting the year of the Finals run.

    It’s a polarizing design for sure. But with that being said, isn’t it always the players that wore the jerseys that make them iconic, even more so than the designs themselves? 

    What are the 2 most iconic uniforms in NBA history? The standard Lakers and Celtics (🤢) uniforms. Is it just a coincidence that those 2 franchises have by far the most championships? Next most iconic after those? Jordan-era Bulls. Another coincidence? Whatever design Chicago threw on those would have went on to be legendary.

    I idolized Iverson as a child and because of it those jerseys will always look amazing to my eyes. And I won’t rest until Joel Hans Embiid hoists a Finals trophy while wearing one goddammit!

    I love the red's just as much as the white's from the 80's. Yeah, I could see a blue alternate of that uni, though. The red's gotta have a little maroon in it though. They've played in those a couple of times over the years and the red just didn't look the same to me.

    Usually remember this stuff like the back of my hand but I don't remember them wearing blue in 2000. I was likely blacked out those nights though. Looks cool. You can tell it's 2000 not only because of the lack of shine but because the sleeves were not extra wide like in the following year.

    Cool purchase!



    But yeah, I wish they'd go old school and also go with an old school Spectrum style court.

    Yeah the Miami ones are awful. Pick one color for the lettering/number, maybe that orange on the first 2 and use a single font and its not bad, but the multi-colors and font suck.

    So I actually had to do quite a bit of research to get the full story on this one. The weird thing is that if you look again it actually DOES have the wide shoulders. Even though the standard white/black ones from 97-00 did NOT have the wide shoulders. It’s almost like they used this blue alternate as an experiment for the wide shoulders the year before they switched to them, so it’s kind of a strange in-between overall design. 

    The only pictures I can even find of them wearing these are from a Lakers game in March of 2000 and against the Mavs in this pic from an old SLAM magazine that I have. They must have only worn them a few times.

    Yeah but it got even wider and they did away with the red piping around the sleeves in the following years. The one you got is a lot better than this:

    Yeah I agree! The silk jerseys looked really nice on the court with a billion lights shining right on them. But I went to the Mitchell and Ness flagship store in Philly a couple of weeks ago, and they look like silk bed sheets with logos sewed on them in normal lighting.

    The Iverson-era blue jerseys were pretty cool.

    Don't sweat spending lots of cash on things - we all have our vices. That's why we work.

    Yeah that there Sixers-Celtics rivalry was something else. Gotta respect that Boston fans were cheering for us to beat the Lakers.

    Fans chanting....speaking of which, apparently Wiz fans were chanting "we want Philly" after their win to get the 8th seed. DC basketball is legit, but the actual team - and fans - are not. I want a sweep. So pumped for tonight. They have to stop with these deliberate tv programming schedules where teams wait two days between home games. ON WITH IT.

    How about Beal screaming “This is my house!” to fans at the WFC on Sunday? I’ve always liked him but he was definitely starting to rub me the wrong way with some of his antics. 

    Note: the Wizards have not won a game in the WFC since 2016, almost 2,000 calendar days ago. I believe Bradley Beal was coming off the bench at this point in his career. Very bizarre.

    Got a feeling we jump on them biiiig early tonight. Sixers are a great 1st quarter team. The Wiz....one of the worst. Now that the rust is off....LET'S GO!!!

    Hoping Maxey continues getting meaningful minutes. What a fucking steal he was at 21. Hindsight's everything, but I'm really glad Morey didn't unload him at the deadline.

    Haha, I saw somewhere saying he screamed that because technically it will be his house when he signs next year.

    Ya know, I don't mind that stuff tho, sports need villains. I very much enjoyed his charge performance on Embiid.

    I totally agree. That’s why I actually love Westbrook in a weird way. I’ve always been drawn to those types of players. When I was a kid 2 of my favorites were Alonzo Mourning and Reggie. Zo’s kidney situation made him be remembered in a different light, but he used to be one of the most hated guys in the league.

    Playoffs are more fun with some antics.

    I love how the Eastern Conference is like - yeah a few other teams can play along with all these northeastern cities.
