On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers unveiled their City Edition uniform for the 2019-20 season. This season’s edition pays homage to the Liberty Bell. The cream-colored uniform features “Philadelphia” cursive script in blue and predominantly displays the crack in the Liberty Bell down the side of the uniform. On the jock tag, the jersey features the embroidered phrase “Pass and Stow,” which is inscribed on the front of the Liberty Bell. The two names are derived from Philadelphia foundry workers, John Pass and John Stow, who recast the original bell in 1753.
“It’s important to our organization to pay tribute to Philadelphia’s rich history, culture and landmarks as frequently and authentically as we can,” Philadelphia 76ers President Chris Heck said. “In partnership with StubHub, we designed the City Edition jersey to celebrate the Liberty Bell, a Philadelphia icon that transcends time and brings to life a powerful symbol that unites us all. We look forward to enjoying many special moments with our fans wearing these uniforms throughout the remainder of the season.”
The Sixers will wear the uniform six times during the regular season and will debut them on Nov. 30 against the Indiana Pacers.
