A decade into retirement, Allen Iverson still dreams, especially whenever the 76ers drop a new uniform.

How would he do it? What accessories would he wear?

The Hall of Famer admits he gets jealous.

"I envision having the jersey with my number on it, then just think about the colorwave of sneakers, headbands, and sleeves," Iverson said in a recent interview. "Just kid stuff - being an athlete and thinking about how you would attack that uniform with your style. I still get a kick out of it. I love when we look good out there."

This time around, Iverson didn't have to do much wondering. He was part of his old team's latest jersey launch, and rightfully so.

The Sixers' 2020-21 City Edition uniform, unveiled Tuesday and featuring black as its primary color, makes an unmistakable nod to the franchise's iconic Iverson-era road jerseys, which were sunsetted 11 years ago. 

Other noteworthy touches to the design of the Sixers' second-ever black uniform include the club's classic red, white, and blue colorway, and a two-tone silhouette of Philadelphia's signature Boathouse Row landmark.

During a photo shoot for the Sixers' new City Edition uniform, Iverson waxed nostalgic. 

"I always liked wearing black because that was basically my style," he said.

The Sixers' initial foray into black came during the 1997-98 season, Iverson's second in the NBA.

The following year, he led the Sixers back to the postseason for the first time in nearly a decade. 

As much as Iverson's transcendent performance on the court became symbolic of the Sixers' success, so too did the black uniforms. 

For a trendsetter like Iverson, the fit was perfect. 

"I was just happy to be a part of it knowing it had never been done before and we were the first squad that wore them and presented them to the world. I thought it was cool."

The last time the Sixers donned black? 2009, when current general manager Elton Brand was still an active player, and Ben Simmons was just 13 years old. 

The latter not only helped the Sixers with Tuesday's design, but its reveal as well.

Iverson is eager to see a new generation of Sixers wear the color that became so defining for him and his teammates. He said it's like "passing the baton."

2020-21 City Edition Presented by StubHub

PHILADELPHIA – NOV. 10, 2020 – The Philadelphia 76ers unveiled today its 2020-21 City Edition uniform, presented in partnership with Official Jersey Patch Partner, StubHub. In continuing to spotlight the team’s connection to the rich history of Philadelphia, the uniform showcases Boathouse Row, an iconic U.S. Historic National Landmark that runs along the Schuylkill River, just west of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

With black as the uniform’s primary color, the design is inspired by the one-of-a-kind Philadelphia view Boathouse Row provides at night. In the wake of the country’s bicentennial, each boathouse was lined with lights in the late 1970s, which reflect each evening on the river, creating the visual mimicked on the uniform. 

“We love telling stories through the 76ers brand, specifically of our great city and always honoring our history,” Philadelphia 76ers President Chris Heck said. “This year, we celebrate our city edition uniform by blending the old and the new specifically for the greatest fans in the world to enjoy.”

The 2020-21 City Edition was designed in collaboration with two-time All-Star and 2019-20 All-Defensive First Team selection Ben Simmons, who in his rookie season requested that Heck develop a black uniform. In turn, Heck offered Simmons a “deal.” If Simmons were to earn 2017-18 Rookie of the Year honors, he’d be included in the uniform design process the following year. After joining Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only two rookies in NBA history to post at least 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game, Simmons captured the award and became an integral part of the design’s development.

“Growing up in Australia, I always associated the 76ers with the black uniform that Allen Iverson wore in the early 2000s. I’m a lover of both fashion and basketball, so to combine the two and be part of the design process for the first black 76ers uniform in over a decade was amazing,” Simmons said. “I’m grateful the team included me from the jump and can’t wait to wear this jersey next season.”

The team’s first primarily black uniform since 2008-09 also ties in the classic red, white and blue on the edges of the uniform’s top, as well as on the waistband of the shorts. The text “Philadelphia” is printed in white, with a blue drop shadow, across the front of the uniform, beneath the imagery of Boathouse Row, with the player’s number above it. The back of the uniform features the continuation of the Boathouse Row theme with the player’s number above it and their name below. The Boathouse Row design is two-tone, featuring a white color representative of the light fixtures on each boathouse and a glossy black, mirroring the reflection that the Schuylkill projects back onto the boathouses. Also seen on the waistband is the historic Liberty Bell, while “hidden” underneath the flap of the shorts is the severed snake, derived from Benjamin Franklin’s political cartoon of 1754.
