76ers Wordmark Logo

The Philadelphia 76ers have a rich history that dates back to 1946 when the team was founded as part of the Basketball Association of America. The logo has gone through many iterations over the years, but some elements remain constant. The most recognizable element is the basketball with stars and stripes in various shades of blue, which represents both patriotism and excellence on the court. Additionally, each iteration features a unique font for “76ers” that pays homage to its roots in Philadelphia while also staying modernized throughout its evolution.

The first version featured an oval-shaped logo with red borders and white background featuring two crossed basketballs with stars between them as well as “Philadelphia 76ers” written across it in large block letters at a top center position above two large sixes placed side by side at a bottom center position below it all. This design lasted from 1963 until 1977 when they changed up their look slightly by adding more details such as three-dimensional shading around each lettering element along with additional smaller stars surrounding larger ones inside an oval shape making this one look much more detailed than the previous one.

In 1995, the team introduced another new variation which still remains today - this time going for a bolder approach where they used heavier strokes within letterings giving them even sharper edges while keeping the overall design simple yet effective compared to previous versions; additionally there are now seven starts instead of five representing number 7 being retired jersey number worn by Julius Erving (Dr. J) who played for Sixers from 1976 till 1987 leading his teams into NBA Finals twice during those 11 years he spent here. All these subtle changes made the current wordmark Logo stand out among others without losing any historic values associated with the franchise itself thus becoming a beloved symbol not only among players & fans alike but also the entire city itself!
