The Philadelphia 76ers plan to have new uniforms for the 2015-16 season, and later this month, the event where they'll be introduced to the public seems like quite the extravaganza.

Here's more information courtesy of the team's official website:

“'In creating a new uniform, we wanted a clean, modern style that would also honor our past,' said Sixers Chief Executive Officer Scott O’Neil. 'These designs integrate key elements of uniforms worn by legends Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving and Billy Cunningham, and bring them together in one seamless presentation. The uniform reflects another key element of our updated brand identity reflecting a spirit of strength and patriotism which we cannot wait to share with our fans.'

The event’s guest list includes Sixers legends Billy Cunningham, Darryl Dawkins, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones and Allen Iverson and special guest Barbara Chamberlain-Lewis, sister of the late Wilt Chamberlain, in addition to current Sixers players and staff."

If you're a Sixers fan living in the Philadelphia area, stopping by (it's free) doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
