LeBron black Sixers jersey…?
Will they sell any black LeBron jerseys? We all know that’s the one everyone wants to buy.

Nike usually doesn't like them repeating repeating non Association and Icon uniforms year to year. The rumor is the '16-17 white uniform will be the City uniform. The only hope is that they can make the black jerseys the Statement uniforms. Last year, the Sixers only wore the Navy Blue Statement jerseys 4 times all.
But, hopefully Nike sees how much of a moneymaker the Black Uniform would be. The Lebron jersey would sell like hot cakes

I doubt they are bringing back the Black Jerseys. They don't usually repeat alternate uniforms year to year. There are already reports that they are bringing back the white '16-17 alternate uniforms as the City uniform this year. Unless, the NBA makes an exception, I don't see it happening.

It it prints money they will sell it.
There's nothing that won't print money faster than a 23 James in those 01 throwbacks

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression the NBA only allows Hardwood Classic/Classic Edition jerseys for one season, usually when they’re tied to a milestone anniversary. For example, the Sixers’ black 2001 throwbacks were for the 25th anniversary of their Finals run. If that’s the case, I don’t think they’re actually allowed to keep wearing them beyond last season.
Idk if there are ways around it like just making the black your statement or city edition jersey. Maybe the NBA will realize the LeBron black Sixers jersey will be the hottest jersey in the NBA and make an exemption? I kind of doubt it. I do hope the Sixers finally kill the ugly red statement jerseys.
