The Sixers had been doing a marketing rollout, featuring Allen Iverson and Ben Simmons, for about a week, seemingly indicating they were releasing an homage to the black 2000-01-era jerseys. Now, opinion is divided among the Philadelphia fan base as to whether those uniforms were actually “good” or not, but the nostalgia surrounding Iverson and that Finals run alone made it a worthwhile revisit for an alternate jersey. Then, the new uniforms dropped this morning, and...(allow me to use a callback to a very old internet meme)...WHAT ARE THOSE?!?
