The closest the 2016-17 Sixers will get to an NBA championship will be donning a former title team's jersey six Saturdays of the year.
The Sixers plan to wear some absolutely fire throwback jerseys this season to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1966-67 NBA championship team. The team will wear the jerseys on six "Salute Saturday" games.
Take a look for yourself.
