Sixers Fans Rejoice Over Latest City Edition Jerseys

The announcement came after what was a long offseason of potential teasers from the Sixers, posting videos of franchise star Allen Iverson in the iconic jerseys, as well as a teaser image on Tuesday.

That will be the first of 14 times that the Sixers will don the black jerseys, with a comprehensive list of those matches as follows:
