The Philadelphia 76ers announced details for their “Spirit of 76” campaign on Wednesday. The campaign will be highlighted with seven tribute nights meant to recognize the rich history of Philadelphia and 76ers basketball. During these “Spirit of 76” games, the team will wear “City Edition” uniforms and play on a new tribute court that will showcase this awesome center-court logo, which can be seen below.
The kids would say the court is fire.

I would agree, that court is fire!
The “Spirit of 76” campaign comes on the heels of the successful “Spirit of Champion” campaign, which honored the 1967 NBA Championship team.

The sculptures will join the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.
