Although they weren’t expected to be unveiled for another month, Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament leaked the Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25 City Edition jerseys during the band’s concert at Wells Fargo Center on Monday night.
The jersey, which we can confirm is legitimate, is effectively the home version of Philadelphia’s 2021-22 City Edition uniforms, which paid homage to the iconic Spectrum, the 76ers’ home from 1967-1996 and for one game during the 2008-09 season.
Appropriately, the final public event held at the Spectrum was a Pearl Jam concert series, with the band playing more than 100 different songs across four nights from Oct. 27-28 and 30-31, 2009.
Just like the navy blue road version, the white jersey features a red 1970s-style “Sixers” wordmark across the chest and blue, green, orange and red blocks down the side that represent the city’s four major sports teams: the 76ers, Eagles, Flyers and Phillies.
Assuming the shorts remain the same, they’ll feature the Spectrum’s “S” on the waistband, a custom logo with the arena’s facade and aforementioned color scheme on the right leg and the 76ers’ bicentennial logo on the left leg.
This year’s uniform will be complete with a blue Nike Swoosh on the right shoulder and left hip, whereas the 2021-22 set included a fractal diamond Nike Swoosh and matching NBA logo as part of the league’s 75th anniversary celebration.
Presumably, the new uniforms will be paired with the same City Edition court that Philadelphia used in 2021-22. It prominently displayed the Spectrum logo at midcourt, navy blue keys and the Spectrum’s color panel inside the red out-of-bounds area.
