The Portland Trail Blazers are entering their 50th season as a franchise and as such will celebrate their history all season long, part of that includes a throwback court which they unveiled earlier this summer.
However, they won’t stop there with the throwbacks, as the team showed off their new throwback uniforms with a video narrated by Bill Walton, who hosted a bike ride for Blazers fans on Sunday.
We'll be red hot & rollin' in our Classic Edition Uniforms this season!

They’re the classic look of the Blazers from their heyday, when Walton led them to their lone championship in 1977, and the team will wear them in their preseason opener as well as on the five “decade night” games this season. They’re a pretty great set of throwbacks and feature the best version of the Blazers logo they’ve ever had on the shorts. The vertical Blazers name on the jerseys always was a fairly unique look and it’ll be great to see these back on the court soon.
The squad will sport these red 1977 Championship replicas with 'blazers' written vertically down the chest during our preseason opener Oct. 8 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum and all five decade nights throughout the year.

The Trail Blazers hope to build on their Western Conference Finals appearance from last year and will hope to channel some good vibes through throwbacks from their championship year. The path through the West is as treacherous as ever, so it would take quite the effort to get there, but they’ll at the very least look good in their effort.
