Check out the Sixers’ Rocky-inspired ‘City Edition’ jerseys

The 76ers have released the latest version of their "City Edition" jersey, and this year, they pulled directly from one of Philly's most iconic exports: the Rocky movie franchise.

The jerseys will premiere at the Sixers' Nov. 9 game against the Hornets at the Wells Fargo Center. That will be among the eight dates you can see Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and JJ Redick fly around the court in the duds, including the last three Fridays in November.

The Sixers jerseys are unique in that they don't say "Philadelphia" anywhere. The player's number is surrounded by 13 stars, which represent not only the 13 original colonies but also the look of the canvas of the ring of the Apollo Creed-Rocky Balboa fight in Rocky.
