Philadelphia 76ersRed, white and blue, and a Hall of Fame roll call

Three championships, a Hall of Fame roll call stretching back to the 1950s, and one of the loudest colourways in the sport. The Sixers have been a star factory for seventy years.

The short version

Thirty seconds on who this club is and what its jersey means to the people who wear them.

Philadelphia's NBA history goes back further than the name does. The 1955 title was won as the Syracuse Nationals, before the club moved to Philadelphia and became the 76ers. Two more championships followed — 1967 behind Wilt Chamberlain, and 1983 behind Julius Erving and Moses Malone.

What makes the Sixers distinctive is the roll call. Chamberlain, Erving, Malone, Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, Dolph Schayes, Hal Greer, Maurice Cheeks — five different players have won seven MVP awards in this jersey. No other franchise has that concentration of individual greatness in one red, white and blue design.

The record as it stands. A club's honours are also the reason certain jerseys exist at all — anniversary designs are not random.

The story so far

Where the club came from, and why the jersey means what it means.

The 2001 Finals run with Iverson is the touchstone for an entire generation of fans. That team lost in five games, and it is still the first thing people bring up about Philadelphia basketball — which says a lot about how a jersey gets its meaning.

The colourway is a piece of American visual shorthand: red, white and blue, cut sharp. It is one of the louder jerseys in the league and has never tried to be subtle. If you want something that reads as classic without being understated, this is the one.

The Philadelphia 76ers founded in 1946, play out of Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, compete in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference and wear blue, red, silver, navy, white. The club's championship record reads: 3 NBA championships (1955, 1967, 1983).

Walk into the building and the rafters tell you the rest: #2, #3, #4, #6, #10, #13, #15, #24, #32 and #34 are all retired, hanging above the floor as a reminder of how long this club has mattered to the people who follow it. If your reason for buying a Philadelphia 76ers jersey is a specific era, one of those numbers is almost certainly why.

On the shelf you will find Icon Edition, Statement Edition, Hardwood Classics, Association Edition and City Edition, pulled from seasons running from 2005/06 through 2024/25. The names people ask for most are Joel Embiid, Allen Iverson, Tyrese Maxey and LeBron James — if you have someone specific in mind, that is where to look first.

The colourways, explained

Philadelphia 76ers has stock across Icon Edition, Statement Edition, Hardwood Classics, Association Edition and City Edition. Before you pick one, it is worth knowing what separates them — the editions are genuinely different pieces of the club's identity, not colour swaps of the same shirt.

Icon The primary colourway

The one you picture when you close your eyes. Icon takes the club's primary colour as its base and dresses the whole jersey in it, which is why it reads loudest from the top of the upper deck. If you only ever own one, this is usually the one.

Statement The alternate

The third look, and the one the design team gets to have fun with — darker bases, bolder trim, sometimes an entirely new colour introduced for a single season. Statement jerseys are where a club's graphics department says something.

Hardwood Classics Throwback line

The throwback lane — older designs, older typefaces, sometimes whole eras brought back for a season. These are the jerseys that get worn by people who remember the run the first time around.

Association Home white

White base, club colours doing the talking around the collar, the armholes and the numbers. Historically the home look — the jersey the team wears in its own building. It goes with everything, which is why it outsells its louder siblings among people who don't want to look like they're heading to a game.

06

Whose name to put on the back

Most people arrive knowing the name they want. These are the ones we carry for Philadelphia 76ers — the ones with a full page are marked.

07

Which season's design?

Designs change year to year — the trim on the collar, the font on the numbers, the exact shade of the base colour. Plenty of people come here hunting the year they started watching. If that is you, this is the shortcut.

08

Swingman, Replica, or Custom?

The build matters as much as the colourway. Here is what actually separates them, in plain terms.

Swingman The standard fan build

The fan jersey most people mean. Light mesh, stitched or heat-pressed lettering and numbers, and a cut that sits properly on the body without being tight. It is the right answer for roughly nine out of ten people, and it holds up to actual wear rather than hanging in a wardrobe.

Replica Lighter on the wallet

A simpler build — printed detailing rather than heavier applied lettering, and a lighter hand overall. If you want the look at the lowest entry point, this is where you start. It is not trying to be the on-court jersey.

Custom Your name, your number

Blank or pick-your-own — a name and a number of your choosing. It is the answer when the exact player is not in stock, when it is a gift for someone whose favourite never got a jersey, or when you simply want your own name across the back.

Player Edition Closest to on-court

Built to the specification the players actually wear. Heavier fabric, deeper detail, and a fit that is intentionally athletic rather than relaxed. Pick this if you care about the details people only notice up close.

09

Sizes and who they are for

Jerseys are cut to be worn over something else, which is why the tag size never quite matches a t-shirt. Here is how the runs differ.

Adult Standard sizes

The standard adult run. Jerseys are cut to be worn over a t-shirt, so the shoulder sits slightly wide by design — that is the silhouette, not a sizing error. If you want it fitted, size down; if you want the baggy look most people are after, stay true.

Women's Tapered cut

A narrower shoulder, a shorter body and a waist that actually tapers. Same design, drawn for a different frame rather than simply scaled down.

Youth For younger fans

Sized for kids and cut a little more forgivingly, because it is going to be worn hard. Worth checking the size guide against a favourite t-shirt rather than guessing from age.

Big & Tall Extra length

Added length and width for taller or broader frames. Same jersey, more room, without the shoulders drifting halfway down the arm.

Common questions

Why are they called the 76ers?
The name marks 1776 and the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. The club adopted it when it moved from Syracuse in 1963.
Which Philadelphia era do the throwbacks cover?
The vintage lanes lean towards the Chamberlain-era designs and the 1983 championship look. Both are visibly different from the modern set, which has a much cleaner typeface.
Which 76ers edition should I start with?
The primary colourway. It is the version that reads as the club from across a room, and it is the one most people are picturing when they decide they want a Philadelphia 76ers jersey. Add a throwback later if you want the vintage look as well.
Does the design change every season?
The primary and white looks stay stable; the alternate and the annually redesigned city edition change. If you are after a specific year's design, use the season list above — the shelf is sorted by exactly that.
Can I put my own name on a Philadelphia 76ers jersey?
Yes. The Custom collection covers blank and pick-your-own builds, and the size guide has the measurements you need before ordering.
What is the difference between Swingman and Replica?
Swingman is the heavier, more durable build with applied lettering — the one that stands up to being worn. Replica is lighter and printed, and is the lower entry point. Both carry the same design.
