PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have officially secured a new look for their uniforms heading into the 2026-27 NBA season. As the team gathered to tip off media day festivities on Monday, the franchise announced a sweeping multi-year strategic partnership with Bloom Energy, naming the power solutions companyits official jersey patch sponsor.
The new patch will be featured prominently on the front left shoulder of all Sixers jerseys starting this season.
A Landmark Deal for the Franchise
The agreement between the 76ers and Bloom Energy is reportedly one of the most lucrative jersey patch sponsorships in the NBA. According to reports, the multi-year deal is worth more than $10 million annually, underscoring the Sixers' massive commercial appeal after a highly active offseason.
Bloom Energy, a Silicon Valley-based company known for manufacturing solid oxide fuel cells and off-grid mini-power systems, also shares a strong local footprint with the organization. The power provider operates a significant manufacturing hub in Delaware, located just a short distance from the 76ers' G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.
As a core component of the partnership, Bloom Energy has pledged to collaborate closely with the 76ers on various community engagement projects across the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware regions.
The Return of the Black Classic Jerseys
The jersey patch announcement wasn't the only uniform news to drop on media day. The Sixers also officially confirmed that they are bringing back their iconic, Allen Iverson-era black "Classic" jerseys for the 2026-27 season.
Fans have been clamoring for the return of the late-90s and early-2000s black threads for years. When the team takes the court for select games in these nostalgic throwback uniforms this season, the new Bloom Energy patch will be integrated into the classic design.
With a retooled, star-studded roster and a fresh corporate partner prominently displayed on their chests, the Sixers are heading into training camp with massive expectations for a deep postseason run.
