Sixers Unveil 2000-01 Throwback Hardwood Classic Uniform
The Philadelphia 76ers are turning back the clock in a big way for the 2025-26 season. The team officially unveiled its Nike NBA Hardwood Classic Edition uniform. The all-black look is a faithful throwback to the uniforms worn during the unforgettable 2000-01 season, a year that saw Allen Iverson lead the Sixers to the Eastern Conference title and an NBA Finals appearance.
That team, coached by Larry Brown and anchored by stars like Iverson, Dikembe Mutombo, Eric Snow, and Aaron McKie, left an indelible mark on the franchise and the city of Philadelphia. Former Sixer Eric Snow reflected on what the uniform means to him:
“Some of my favorite memories came when I was wearing this uniform. I enjoyed every moment of playing for my childhood team. This uniform represented the connection of players with the city and 76ers fans. Although we didn't accomplish our ultimate goal, I'm still thankful for the time I played in the 76ers uniform. Even now, I still meet people wherever I go who speak about the passion they had for our team and that run.”
The 2025-26 Hardwood Classic Edition uniform mirrors the 2000-01 design while being built on Nike’s updated performance chassis, engineered for today’s NBA athletes. From the bold black base to the retro typography and signature detailing, the kit brings back all the nostalgia while keeping performance front and center.
Lara Price, COO of the 76ers, spoke about the uniform’s meaning:
“This uniform is more than just a piece of fabric; it represents an era of franchise history that embraced a distinct identity and captured the attention of the entire city. To see these uniforms back out on that court will bring back a lot of nostalgia, and we are excited to share that in many different ways with our fans this season.”
The Sixers will debut the Hardwood Classic Edition uniform and themed court on Saturday, Nov. 8, when they host the Toronto Raptors at Xfinity Mobile Arena. In total, the team will celebrate with 14 “25th Anniversary Celebration” nights presented by Crypto.com, featuring the throwback uniforms, custom merchandise, and special tributes to members of the 2000-01 squad.
The uniform will also make appearances on the road, with six additional games against playoff contenders from that storied season.
With the return of one of the most iconic looks in franchise history, the 2025-26 Sixers season promises to be a nostalgic celebration for fans in Philly and beyond.
