Good news out of Philadelphia this week. No, it’s not about Raul Ibanez on roids or Jimmy Rollins getting benched! It comes to us from the hardwood, where the 76ers will dust off their championship jerseys for the 2009-10 season.
Awesome move here by the 76ers’ front office and the equipment staff. The 76ers’ old school basketball logo is one of the most recognizable logos in all of sports. It deserves to be dawned again. Andre Iguodala and first round draft pick Jrue Holiday seem to be pleased with the move.
I think it’s a good thing when teams go retro and I’m certainly a big fan. Philadelphia wore these jerseys from 1963-1997; possibly the longest jersey run aside from the Lakers and Celtics. The 76ers are doing their part and teams like the Rockets and Warriors should follow suit.
All in all, this is a perfect move by the 76ers organization. The franchise is set to release images of an updated court that the team will play on next year. A road jersey is also set for unveiling at a later date. But if I were to guess, it will probably look something like this.
