The Philadelphia 76ers will mark the 50th anniversary of their 1966-67 championship team with a throwback uniform, which will be worn for six Saturday home games and will be paired with an alternate court design:

Although you can't see it in that court mock-up, the center-court design will feature the signatures of all Sixers season-ticket subscribers, which according to the team will be "the first time in NBA history that fan signatures will appear within the playing surface of an NBA court."
In a nice additional touch, the 1966-67 team will be honored on this season's tickets:

And speaking of tickets, the Sixers were the first NBA team to ink a uniform-advertising deal for next season, selling space on their jersey to StubHub:
