Sixers back to old logo and uniforms !!!!!!
Posted by Ricky - Sixers4guidos on January 23, 2009
And SIXERS4GUIDOS HAS THE SCOOP !!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the (breaking, really) news:
Lara Price, Sixers’ Vice President of Business Operations, told yesterday to a group of season ticket holders in a fan forum that the franchise will be switching back to the old logo and the old 1982-83 uniforms (white/home, red/away) starting from next season.
Guido sources A reader emailed me that, I’m trying to learn more details but as for now that is more than enough I think, if you remember how much this site and all of you who signed my “Bring the old Sixers’ uniforms back !” petition (around 130 fans/readers) care about this topic.
It means we will look full time like this:
Few thoughts:
1) About time. Enough of the crap we were wearing over the last years.
2) FANS’ opinion counts and is taken in high consideration by the franchise. Which should be logical, and not even worth underlining, but you never know…
3) Blogs, bloggers and online lobbying count. Another important evidence. We won !!
More details later, if I can, but… well, that made my day, really. And remember, you read it here first.
Thank you Kate Price, thank you Ed Stefanski (I know he’s a fan of the classical Sixers unis, and I reported it on S4G), thank you Sixers for this.
And please, never, ever, change our logo and uniforms again, we had enough of….:
…and of….:
SIXERS4GUIDOS: WHERE SUCCESSFUL LOBBYING HAPPENS.
UPDATE: I received more details, and thank to reader Josh G. here they are (excerpts from his mail):
Yea it was a little dinner/ Q&A for the season ticket holders put on by the Sixers…. There were probably about 250-300 people there and Ed Stefanski, Tony Di Leo, Peter Lukko, and Laura Price all made their rounds for Q&A’s. …
…Laura said the reasoning behind the decision was basically that it was what the fans wanted, everyone walks around in the retro gear ect…
…It was great stuff and the Q&A’s with Stefanski and Di Leo were particuarly interesting because they have solid view points on the roster that I think most fans would agree with….
…It was a really cool experience to be able to get a direct pulse of what they are thinking. Plus it wrapped up with a tour of the locker room.
and I told Lukko and Price that they should do a Reggie Evans beard night and they seemed to like that idea. Shit would be hilarious.
Brian/Depressed fan will have a footage up soon, check his blog also for complete coverage.
Thanks everyone !!!

Congratulations.
So I guess what the REAL point of this article was that Willie Green is going to be a Sixer next year.

Great new.
This uniform is one of the beautifullest of all-time. Simply and perfect.
Venom said
Congrats Ricky my son, and all the Sixers fans. I’m actually surprised they decided to go with this, since they can probably make more money selling both the current and the retro jerseys. This way they really don’t have the retro ones – unless the nineties black ones become those, or, please God no, those that Barkley has on him.

It’s about time. There are a number of teams in pro sports whose colors are red, white, and blue, yet, no other team’s nickname and city warrant those colors more that the Philadelphia 76ers. Everyone is right. It is about time and long overdue. Pat Croce liked the black and gold, and they were successful, at the time, so I didn’t mind. However, it is time to get back to the classic style. If they came up with a third uniform, in the future, that was red, white, and blue, and contained stars and stripes going down the side, like the 70’s uniforms, I would not object, either. Get the fricken black, gold, and silver OUT of the Sixers’ color palette! Great work.
tk76 said
Great job Ricky! You definitely deserve props for getting the ball rolling. Although the current jerseys are not nearly as brutal as some in the Bradley and Barkley years, its still great to see the team listen to the fans and return to the look that personifies the Sixers as one of the benchmark franchises of the league.
Hackett said
This should be pretty cool… Some of the old uniforms for teams looked better than the new ones.
Dave said
That’s fantastic.
I actually liked there current uniforms, but I do prefer the old unis. They were special, carried a little magic with them.
Oliver said
Yes! This is totally awesome news! All hail the new/old uniforms and logo!
BothTeamsPlayedHard said
Great news. Although, I think I still prefer the AI rookie-year uniforms. Those were boss.
striggity said
This is nice to see, I wish a few NBA teams would go back to their older Uni’s…

Check out this blog “UniWatch”: http://www.uniwatchblog.com/
Under today’s entry (January 26th) Uni Watch News Ticker it is reported that next season’s Sixer jersey is “not quite as simple as an ’82-’83 throwback.” The author of the blog is a reliable source for uniform information and he says he has seen the new jerseys.
Ricky, do you think you can do some more digging and possibly come up with some more information?
Nonetheless, it will be good to get rid of the current logo and jerseys.
Ricky - Sixers4guidos said
Hawk3, thanks for the info !
I know that site because it linked to S4G a couple of times, and btw I got a lot of traffic from them, it’s good stuff.
I will try to learn something about it, and as soon as I will have some news I will make a specific post about it
Let’s keep in touch !
Dre said
I love the Sixers and I love the Classic uniforms. The uniform Barkley is wearing is terrible but the one Andre is wearing is OK… not to bad but the ’82-’83 uniform is my favorite.
Tom Moore said
Hi. I cover the Sixers for phillyburbs.com and was told today (Tuesday) that the new uniforms will be a variation of the 1982-83 unis, but not exactly the same.
Ricky - Sixers4guidos said
Tom, thanks for the update, please let us informed as soon as you have more details !
let’s hope they don’t screw this up !!

Who doesn’t like the flag uniform from 93-94? That was a GREAT idea, they should wear them as an alternate!

I’m happy that the Sixers are going back to their old uniforms, but I am writing this reply because I want to tell the writer of this article something. To the writer: the way you wrote this article and your sentences are horrible. I don’t know how this article was publishes at all. Most of your sentnces don’t even make sense, and most of them have the worst grammatical errors I have ever seen. Learn how to write in the English language before you show your articles to the public. You sound illiterate in this piece of writing.

Johnny Gall, thanks for leaving a comment !!
Newsflash: I am not american, I am italian, I am born and raised in Italy and I have spent in the US a total of around 10 days in my life (I am 38 y/o). Check the “About us” section.
I know my english is bad, I just don’t care, I’ll keep writing because I like to cover the Sixers. Some say that my english is funny, some that is even “sexy” and some, like you, that is terrible: the most important thing is they pretty much everyone somehow understands what I’m trying to say.
I read a lot of forums, sites etc written by americans and I guarantee you that many of them, MOTHERTONGUE AMERICANS, committ terrible mistakes (“it’s” instead of “its”, “their” for “they are” etc), sometimes it’s me correcting them, go figure…
Have a nice day, come back when u have the chance.
(uh, one more thing: you meant “was published”, not “was publishes”, right?)

I am really, really happy to see these jerseys again.

i am a celtics fan, but I believe in the spirit of 1776. The phila uni’s should have seventy-sixers printed on them. The young-uns ought to know about the answer to 1984 being 1776.

The sassy 23 year old Londoner delivers the goods with swagger and panache. 2003s single “Stronger Than Me” and album “Frank” weren’t exactly great sellers, despite being hits with the critics. This time it’s a totally different situation, because she’s appealed to fans and critics alike. Winehouse has a new-found confidence, having slimmed down four dress sizes with more aggressive make-up; she’s turning into the UK’s most promising talent in years.
” Back To Black” is a masterstroke of contemporary Jazz-crossover material, all delivered with supreme style. Her razor-sharp singing is a major highlight, however, this album is all about truly brilliant songs, all written by Winehouse herself, with some collaborations.
Using Robbie Williams’ and lily Allen’s studio wizard Mark Ronson, Amy is going into a totally different stratosphere with this one, leaving Katie Melua and Norah Jones in her wake.
Amy said, “I didn’t want to play that jazz thing up too much again. I was bored of complicated chord structures and needed something more direct”. That said, Jazz is very much a prime element, though this time.
Jam-packed with superb songs and impressive production, she’s breaking new ground, though the past plays a big part. Delving, in places, into Tamla Motown and The Specials’ musical ideas (“You Know I’m No Good”), she’s proved to be a top class songwriter.
“Rehab” is an out and out classic, with many shades of Motown with modern twists. “Me And Mr.Jones” is textbook 60s swing, which other singers like Christina Aguilera are adopting. There’s no question where the title track came from – right out of the Motown school of classic pop – you could just see the Funk Brothers doing their inimitable thing on this – brilliant.
The stunning Soul ballad “Loving Is A Losing Game” could again be a Motown classic, taking Diana Ross head on, possibly her finest moment, as is the sprightly “Tears Dry On Their Own” : a (slight) remix could well be the next single – and another hit for sure. The triumvirate run-in has ballads using R’n’B beats, and yes, even more Motown stylings on the addictively punchy “Addicted”.
For one so young, “Back To Back” is truly remarkable, invigorating, and genuinely sensational. She’s not only a diva, but a phenomenal talent, with her best years to come.
