If you're a rookie on a professional team in any sport, chances are you're going to receive some "rookie treatment." In football, there are haircuts. In baseball, there are costumes. And in basketball, there are ... backpacks?

But not just any backpacks. We're talking Barbie superhero backpacks.

Above, Philadelphia 76ersrookie Dario Saric rocks his new Barbie backpack with style and grace. He isn't alone. The rest of the rookies all have matching backpacks.
