The jerseys pull inspiration from the Reading Terminal Market, which is one of Philly’s most visited tourists site and home to dozens of family-owned small businesses.
Reading Terminal Market will be a theme throughout the upcoming season with the Sixers, as they support small, local businesses as a part of their Spirit of Small Business program, presented by Fulton Bank. This initiative is designed to combat the larger systemic issue of equal access for the small business community across Greater Philadelphia. Each 76ers’ gameday, the team will promote a local small business on its social and digital platforms, giving the business visibility to a huge audience across the world.
