Uniforms/logos – I cannot stand this whole retro thing. I honestly always really enjoyed the AI era…or more accurately 97 – 09 jerseys. The white I wasn’t in love with, but the black away jerseys, with the Sixers bball and swish in red and gold? Thought it was a classy, cool modern looking jersey that was one of the best away jerseys in the league. These “new classics” to me look cheesy, and straight from the 80s…and not in a good way.

Rasual Butler – Headed to the Clippers for a conditional 2nd round pick. I !@#$ing knew this would happen. I made a few posts a month or two back about how logjammed the Hornets were at the wing spots, and that Rasual Butler (who makes a reasonable salary ($4) and is an expiring contract) could be easily had via trade. Well, the Clippers just got a talented bench player in exchange for a !@#$ing cheese curl.

Gee, ES, think maybe we could use a player that is 6’7, plays good defense, hustles, can hit the three, would make the PERFECT backup SF for this team that we’ve needed…AND has Philly roots? Nah, we wouldn’t want a guy like that who could have been easily nabbed from the cost-cutting Hornets. Jesus christ.

I’ll wait until I see more pictures and see them live to pass my final judgment. Initial judgment is they are just okay and certainly a step down from the originals. I really just wanted them to not reinvent the wheel and go with the classics.

I love them. You can’t go with the same exact jerseys, the originals were great because they represented a time to be proud of, but they were too plain. These are very similar with a better cut and some accents. Love them. I will be excited to see them take court.

Wow, I just thought of it. With red as the Sixers’ color on the road, there will be no more, “Here come the black shirts!” That was a great Zumoff quotable!

Our very own Tom Moore, has posted some news on the Sixers interested in a couple of swingmen including a couple of Grahams, as well as a former Sixer.

Also, I love the new court. It brings the old with the new– a nice updated version of the Spectrum. Red, white, and blue truly represent the colors of Philadelphia and our nation. This city was our nation’s capital. Now the Sixers need the fans, just like the old days at the Spectrum. Last year’s game against the Bulls that March was OUTSTANDING!!

GO SIXERS!!

Yeah Pete to me it seems the all-white “Sixers” across the chest & number makes the jersey look cheap. A Blue outline to at least match the neck and shoulder trim would have gone a long ways.

I put a space after www so that your site would not filter out my thread for moderation.

I agree, the bright blue was over-designing IMO. I also would have preferred they stay with the thin blue border around the letters and numbers.

the one I just posted should work.

I don't really like them at first glance. Don't like the blue around the neck and shoulder and don't like that "Sixers" is all white w/o an outline.
