By Nicholas Barth ·
The NBA 2K League team for the Philadelphia 76ers, 76ers Gaming Club, has unveiled the digital court and uniforms it will be utilizing during the inaugural season of the NBA's esports league.
The roster of Ethan "Radiant" White, Antonio "Newdini" Newman, Mihad "IFEAST" Feratovic, Alexander "Steez" Bernstein, Tilton "xTFr3sHxX" Curry and Rashann "ZDS" Petty is set to lead the 76ers Gaming Club (GC), the NBA 2K League team of the Philadelphia 76ers, to a strong showing at the "THE TIPOFF" event beginning today, which is the first of three tournaments taking place in the inaugural season of the NBA 2K League. The team will make its debut on Thursday, May 3rd in Group C, as its roster will be battling against Blazer5 Gaming, Raptors Uprising GC and Magic Gaming for a top two spot that will guarantee them a spot in the "THE TIPOFF" tournament's playoffs on Saturday, May 5th.
Today, the Philadelphia representative of the league revealed the digital court that the team will be calling home, and the uniforms that each member of the roster will be wearing for "THE TIPOFF" tournament and throughout the rest of the NBA 2K League season.
"The digital uniforms and courts for 76ers Gaming Club are a clean, yet bold representation of the 76ers GC brand with the visually-striking Liberty Bell-shaped '76' at the forefront. We have taken a contemporary approach to our historical basketball brand with 76ers GC. With the swoosh trailing the basketball in the '76' logo on the court's baselines and the team's shorts, fans may notice the subtle nod to the 'Black and Gold' era uniforms of the 2,000's. The patriotic blue and red throughout completes the cutting-edge nature of the 76ers GC brand as it emerges in the NBA 2K League," said Philadelphia 76ers Chief Marketing Officer Katie O'Reilly.
Blazer5 Gaming will be the first opponent that 76ers Gaming Club will face in NBA 2K League action, and the game will be the first opportunity for fans of the organization to see their team sporting their newly revealed jerseys in official competition.
With their home court and uniforms drawing inspiration from the past and current success of their NBA counterpart, 76ers Gaming Club will be looking to make their city proud and show the world that they should be considered to be one of the top teams in the NBA 2K League heading into the rest of the season.
