It’s not the dribbling Ben Franklin we didn’t even know we wanted, but it looks like the Sixers may be making a slight modification to their logo. As pointed out by a Uni Watch reader on Twitter, the Sixers logo used in a picture tweeted out by the Big 12 looks a little different:

The basketball part of the logo has its lines modified, and it gives the logo a little depth that the flatter one doesn’t seem to have. The Sixers’ practice/summer league jerseys also feature “PHILA” on the chest (and a new number font on some banners). This could all mean nothing at all, or it could signify a more modern take on the classic look the Sixers are currently sporting. Because if no one worth watching is on the court, you might as well dress them up nice. We’d still prefer dribbling Ben though.
