The black Philadelphia 76ers uniforms from the Allen Iverson days are an iconic throwback, especially in the City of Brotherly Love.

So, will the team be bringing them back?

After the Sixers recently presented Maxey with his own black throwback, speculation was fueled that the beloved threads might be making a return:

Don't expect to see them this season, however. According to Alexandra Simon of CBS News Philadelphia, "Sources in the Sixers' organization told CBS News Philadelphia that while they are working on bringing back the black jerseys, they won't be worn in the upcoming season."

Eventually, however, Maxey, Embiid and Paul George might be donning the classic black jerseys. Expect them to sell like hot cakes.
