ORLANDO _ For Orlando Magic fans eager to get a glimpse at the new design of the team’s uniforms for next season the color of the Magic’s hat at tonight’s NBA Draft might offer a sneak peek.
After years of using predominantly blue hats at the draft, the Magic have switched to a black hat with a white bill that is lined in black trim.
Magic Chief Operating Officer Alex Martins told FLORIDA TODAY in April and again in June that the Magic’s uniform redesign is almost finished and the new look is expected to be ready for next season. Martins hinted that the Magic could return to black uniforms or pinstriped uniforms.
Pinstripes, in some form, which the Magic wore from 1989 through 2002, could return. Also, the return of a black uniform could be in the offing as a road uniform or an ``alternate’’ uniform. The Magic have worn white jerseys at home and blue jerseys on the road since 1999. Prior to that, Orlando wore black jerseys on the road and white at home.
Very cool.
