Friday, November 7, 2025
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Sixers are throwing it back this weekend and Action News Mornings got a preview of what to expect.

Sixers mascots, past and present, took over the studio on Friday, as the team prepares to honor the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Eastern Conference championship team.

Hip-hop, the high flying, acrobatic bunny mascot from the Allen Iverson era, joined Franklin on set.

They'll both be at the arena Saturday night as the Sixers host the Raptors.

The Sixers will be wearing the throwback black jerseys made famous during that memorable season.



There will be plenty of special surprises designed to capture the magic of that era as well.

The Sixers have also partnered with Mitchell and Ness to debut new merchandise in the retro look.
