Didn't have that headline on my bingo card, as Lil Dicky was going off at -140 for most likely musician leaker.

Anyway, a league source confirmed to On Pattison that this is in fact the Sixers' new 2024-2025 City Edition jersey.

That's bassist Jeff Ament rocking the number 0 Tyrese Maxey jawn.

This is, as best as we can tell, a white version of the Sixers very popular Spectrum-themed City Edition uniforms from 2021-2022, with an updated blue number vs. the red number on the older Editions.

We're also told the Sixers reached out to the group, knowing Eddie Vedder was a fan of the Spectrum uniform (Pearl Jam closed out the Spectrum), and provided them with the updated white version of the City Edition.

At the time, Sixers then-President Chris Heck, who is now with Aston Villa of the Premier League, said of the uniforms: 

“The Spectrum holds a very special place in our franchise lore, having served as the 76ers’ home arena for nearly three decades. The memories made at America’s Showplace, including the historic 1982-83 championship season, are priceless, and will be relived through the 2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition uniform. We’re also excited to display the colors of the Spectrum logo, which represent the teams that our fans love and support here in Philadelphia.”

Fun fact: You may notice that the red-orange-green hues in our logo are exact color-matches to those same Spectrum-derived colors. The More You Know.
