In a credible report, the Sixers are not renewing the classic black jerseys picked up by Allen Iverson because of Nike. Maybe they will look for more extraordinary ways on the horizon but this measly hurts for Philly fans.
In a year where the king, LeBron James, enters town, the Sixers go full blown shift on the red and blue jerseys. It will be retroactive to some and not so to others.
They were generations that picked up the Julius Erving jerseys or Moses Malone. When Malone ignited the city, he was lightning hot just like James.
But what a way to go out as it was only one year of the Sixer and black. At least, PA announcer Matt Cord likely returns next season.
The Sixer broadcast crew might switch to a three individualized group as this is the season for Sixers fans to rise and make some noise. James is entering town and the Sixers theme song will be chirping.
