Sixers Unveil Classic Edition Uniform Inspired By 1970s Design
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Sixers unveiled their Classic Edition uniform for the 2019-2020 season on Thursday. The uniform pays homage to the teams' legacy and replicates the jersey worn for half of the 1970-71 season.
The jersey features "Seventy Sixers" being predominantly written across the chest.
The Sixers are one of only 12 NBA teams that will feature a Classic Edition uniform this season as each team's uniform celebrates the team's memorable on-court looks of the past.
