Sixers To Debut Their New City Edition Jerseys On Saturday
The Sixers City Edition Jerseys are here. We have seen them take inspiration from The Spectrum, Rocky, and Boathouse Row in the past. And this year they have once again paid homage to a Philly institution. The Reading Terminal Market.
Located on Arch Street in Center City, The Reading Terminal Market has been around since the late 1800s. But it wasn’t until the 80s that it truly grew into what we know today. It now houses some of the best food in the City. Whether you are getting a roast pork sandwich at Dinics, doughnuts at Beilers, breakfast at the Down Home Diner, or a cannoli at Termini Bros, there is something for everyone. It is one of the true gems of Philadelphia.
Now it will be honored on the Sixers City Edition Jerseys. The special jersey swaps out the usual Sixers Blue for a Navy Blue, with red trim, and a font in the style of the Reading Terminal Market’s sign. It also once again features the nickname ‘City of Brotherly Love’.
Thanks to Paul Hudrick from Liberty Ballers, we also have a look at what the court will look like when the Sixers don their City Edition jerseys. Like the Jersey, it features the Navy Blue, and the logo will be a simple 76 in a darker red.

9 Things You Need To Know Before Going To A Philadelphia 76ers Game
Who Will They Be Playing?
It’s not always a no-brainer. You’ll have your Sixers gear on, but make sure a jacket, a hat, or any other clothes you wear don’t rep the visiting colors. Don’t risk getting stuck wearing green if it’s a matchup against the Boston Celtics.
Where Is A Good Place To Park?
Eight parking lots surround the Wells Fargo Center. Availability changes depending on your arrival time, but the F, E, and D lots between Xfinity Live and the Wells Fargo Center are typically the easiest to access. The arena lots no longer accept cash.
If you’d rather take public transportation to the game, NRG Station is the terminal stop on the Broad Street Line (Orange Line). It lets riders out at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, just a quick walk from the Wells Fargo Center.
What Time Can You Get In?
The entrances typically open 1.5 hours before most home games. Concession stands and merchandise locations around the main concourse typically open at the same time. The Sixers don’t allow reentry.
How Will The Fan Screening Process Work?
Limit what you bring into the stadium to make the screening process simpler. Fans cannot bring any outside food and beverage items inside. The Sixers have made improvements to keep lines at the stadium entrance moving quickly.
How Do You Access Your Tickets?
Digital access has become the easiest way to enter the arena, and the Wells Fargo Center offers digital options through their official box office. The Ticket Transfer app has also made it easier for people to exchange tickets before the game.
What Time Does The Game Begin?
Weeknight games begin at 7pm most of the time. However, the Sixers play some afternoon games at home. Plus, any nationally televised games can change the typical schedule. Make sure you check before heading to the game.
Where Can You Get The Best Eats?
You could go with a cheesesteak, and crab fries from Chickie’s and Pete’s should be on the table. You can even get a milkshake at Toothsome inside the Wells Fargo Center now. There are plenty of options at a 76ers game. Many fans will be interested in a cold drink too. Just make sure to avoid cash payments at concession stands also.
Is There Anything Special Happening?
The Sixers have plenty of great theme nights lined up for the 2023-24 season. WWE Night, Military Appreciation Night, and Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations will be some of the highlights this season. Check their promotional calendar for all upcoming events.
Where Are the Best Places To Go After the Game?
If you’re looking for a night out after the game, head right over to Xfinity Live. The sports complex’s favorite bar offers specials after many games for fans who leave the arena. South Philly has plenty of other bars close to the stadium, including Chickie’s and Pete’s and Philadium.
