Have the Sixers and Wells Fargo patched things up? Has Jerry Colangelo told the team to put their big boy pants on? No idea, but the “Wells Fargo Center” text on the court floor at “The Center” is now larger and darker in 2016. Here’s a picture of the former floor, before the Disney on Ice road trip below:

UPDATE: Michael Preston of the Sixers reached out to offer this, from chief revenue officer Chris Heck:
“We truly value the relationships we have with all our partners including Comcast-Spectacor, who indicated it was important to them that their naming rights partner be more clearly identified. The Sixers are looking forward to announcing our new partner in the banking category in a matter of days.”
It’s Comcast’s city. The rest of us are merely taking up space, or, in Wells Fargo’s case, not enough space.
