The uniforms themselves, a modern riff on a combination of a couple of the team's classic threads, are nice; crisp, clean, and cool. The inclusion of the stars down the side of the shorts is a nice touch, as is the return of 'PHILA' on the front.
The team is clearly trying to coordinate a re-brand with the uptick of the on-court rebuild, in hopes that these new uniforms will be associated with success, unlike the now-old ones, perhaps best known for Andrew Bynum never actually wearing one.

For all of the national speculation about how the fan base would stop supporting the team due to Sam Hinkie's 'scheme', the opposite has actually occurred. Sixers fans are as tuned in and interested as they have been since the days when Iverson walked the arena in uniform, rather than baggy khakis and a black tee. They are excited for the future, and the possibility that it brings.
When that future comes, the Sixers will look good.
