A reader sent us a photo of the new Sixers City Edition jerseys that were being sold at the DICK’S Sporting Goods in Mount Laurel. These are dog shit:

I typically think jersey hyperbole is overblown and one of the most overrated things on the internet. Not these. I don’t think there are enough bad things you can say about these. These look like something I’d get from Ali Express.

Now technically this isn’t the authentic version because there isn’t a Crypto.com patch, but they’re close enough to what we’ll see. Honestly, I thought we turned the corner with the Spectrum jerseys. This is the jersey equivalent of going from Jimmy Butler to Al Horford.

This is what I wrote about the leak a month ago after Barstool Philly scooped it:

First thoughts: these are the same as the “Seventy Sixers” jerseys from the 19-20 season are they not? The numbers look better than the leak. The “City of” is a nice touch. I’m sure a rational 4 for 4 guy isn’t going to freak out about the ‘B’ in “Brotherly” looking like the Red Sox ‘B’. My point still stands on the ‘L’. 7/10. Better than the Boathouse Row and Rocky sweatpants jerseys. But below the Spectrum, Seventy Sixers, and that beautiful cream colored one they did in 2017.

Seeing them in person is completely different than seeing a mock-up. The script looks too small for the jersey and I still hate the “L” that underlines “Love”. My new rating is 4/10.


When are the Sixers going to give the fanbase an updated version of the black 2001 jerseys? It’s so easy. There are a ton of teams who are going back to their early-2000 era jerseys. We talked to Tom O’Grady, who designed those jerseys, a couple months back, and he thinks now that Chris Heck is gone it’s more likely they make a comeback:

No patriotic bullshit:
