The team was on a roll, hiring Doc Rivers as head coach and Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations. But then they dropped the new uniforms, which features about the 13th most recognizable landmark in the city. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall I guess were too easy to associate with a team named after the American Revolution.
So they went with Boathouse Row. Which has zero ties to the organization, unless you count people stuck in traffic on the way to the game staring at it across the river. The color scheme is an homage to the Allen Iverson days of the early 2000s. I didn't like those, either. I loved the simple, block letter PHILA design of the last few years.
Ben Simmons helped design these bad boys. He should have not been allowed to do so until he made five jumpshots in a game for five straight games. There is one thing I do like. They snuck in a little Trust the Process Easter egg in the form of the letters TTP. Well played.
