The Sixers will have a new look this coming season, on the court and on their uniforms.
On Tuesday, the team revealed two if its four jerseys, the "Association Edition" for home games and "Icon Edition" for road games. First overall pick Markelle Fultz showed off the Nike jerseys (yes, he is wearing No. 20) in the three-part series "Made for the Moment," presented by StubHub.
"For this to be my first NBA jersey and the first time putting it on, I'm lucky and fortunate enough to wear this across my chest and play for this team," Fultz said.
New jersey features for the 2017-18 season include "Brotherly Love" embroidered on the lower left hem in gold and a red drop-shadow behind both the players' numbers and the letters "PHILA." The Sixers' jerseys will have the StubHub patch on them to represent their partnership.

In addition to the "Association" and "Icon" jerseys, every team will have a uniform inspired by the community and another based on the NBA players' mindsets. These editions will be revealed over the upcoming months.
"We are confident that the next two jerseys we unveil will additionally capture the spirit of this historic city, the imagination of new Philadelphia, and the passion of our loyal fans," Sixers chief sales & marketing officer Chris Heck said. "Before the 2017-18 season has even begun, our 'Welcome to the Moment' campaign has generated national recognition and acclaim, and we look forward to continuing the momentum as the season progresses."
