Stephen A. saying the ‘Tyrese Haliburton is a frontrunner’ narrative is false and talking about how Ty was talking shit to Knicks fans during warm-ups made ESPN’s coverage of this series worth it.
In honor of Black History Month, here's one of the unis worn by the 1955 Crispus Attucks team during their historic run to become the first all-black team in the nation to win a HS bball title. The
@Pacers
have already honored the Milan/"Hoosiers" team, should the Tigers be next?
So if the leak is true, this is the Pacers court that will be utilized for the NBA Cup games. Personally, I LOVE it. Rumor has it that NBA Cup games will now use Statement unis instead of City unis. So more gold outs.

My take on the CE: With a subtle nod to the Fieldhouse's architecture on the side panels, this concept honors the first-ever Pacers uniform to grace the court - the white pinstripes - and adds an updated wordmark.
Thoughts?

*Knicks player falls down*
Announcers: That should have been a foul
*Knicks player call for a foul*
Announcer: I guess the refs are calling it tight now
As is the case with the Lakers, the Pacers will be wearing their gold Statement Editions (0-3) in Vegas rather than their black City Editions (5-0) due to visibility issues with the league-designed court.
With this win, the Pacers City Edition uni has made its final reg season appearance with it being slated to retire after the 2023-24 season. It finishes with a 13-4 record (.764, equiv to a 62-win team); far & away the best performing uniform of the season & recent team history.
What if we resurrected the team’s visual identity from the 80s and injected it with the electrifying colors of

’s City unis? The outcome? A bold & vibrant reinterpretation of a classic aesthetic perfectly aligned with the Pacers’ dynamic style of play.

Jarace at the 3 is veryyyyy interesting to me. He comes into the league projected as a 4 or small-ball 5 because of his size and strength, but his athleticism allows him to shift up.

And just like that, we have our first leak of this year’s City Editions. I was curious if the black would be cut out completely, but I was way off base with that guess.
Now we wait for shorts, the number treatment, and the official roll out!
If you’ve followed me since the summer, you may know I’ve been toying around with a

mashup. With yesterday’s official release of the upcoming Fever schedule, I thought I’d share where the project currently stands.

I know this isn’t the news that many want to hear, but I’ve received confirmation from the team that no big Pacers rebrand is happening in the 2024 offseason.
This team man 🥹 so many great moments here.
- Pascal’s speech with Drew’s comment
- Myles’ speech and hosting bigs in Dallas
- How happy Myles and Pascal are to see each other
- Pascal and Benn speaking French together
People have to understand that the Pacers don’t typically make moves for big names like this.
Unless I’m making a glaring omission, the last time the Pacers traded for a player that had already earned All-NBA honors was 2006 when the team acquired Peja Stojakovic.
I spy a different court design 👀
- Two-tone wood with the dimensional farmland lines that we see in the team’s seal
- No center court logo
- “Indianapolis” on each baseline
Has anyone seen Gainbridge use this court for local tournaments or anything else?
With yesterday’s news of the passing of Pacers legend George McGinnis, I thought I’d reshare one of my first uniform concepts - a Fever-ABA mashup honoring their combined success. RIP.
Someone come save Kenny. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about saying Tyrese is the non-flashy version of LaMelo.
“On a 3-on-2 break, LaMelo is going to throw a no look pass and Tyrese is going to throw a bounce pass.”
🤔
I would have never guessed I’d meet

at the airport. Show the league what you’re about and I’ll see you at the ASG in February 🫡

I forgot to show him the Reggie tattoo on my arm haha
Today, Gainbridge Fieldhouse will host its first Pacers playoff game since April 21, 2019.
My one request is that fans turn tf up and remind the world what playoff basketball means to Indiana, regardless of ridiculous start times.
When the time to redesign our base uniforms finally comes around, I’d love to see the return of an asymmetrical design. The Pacers have generally had luck with these in the past, and it’s a good way to differentiate from over 2/3rds of the league. Thoughts?
I know I’m in the minority when it comes to not loving our gold uniforms, but not wearing the City Edition at all seems like such a missed opportunity.
Unless LockerVision is wrong (which I’m really hoping it is), we’re set for at least four straight matchups of the Pacers’ gold Statement Editions against the Bucks’ green Icon Editions.
Prayers up for fans with protanopia color blindness.
This one’s for the
@iPacersblog

’s of the world. A bright yellow/white text/shadow combo is a pain, so the clean brush lines of a single ‘INDY’ work best
Last season when the Pacers wore gold against the Bucks, Milwaukee opted for their green Icon uniforms, meaning…
There is a chance we see gold and green uniforms on a red and blue court today.
As is the case with the Lakers, the Pacers will be wearing their gold Statement Editions (0-3) in Vegas rather than their black City Editions (5-0) due to visibility issues with the league-designed court.
Rick Carlisle feels great about what he has in Pascal Siakam, but he's re-considering what he wants the rest of the roster to look like now that the Pacers have him. That could include Jarace Walker at the 3 where he had 10 points and nine rebounds:
Crazy to think that the last Gold Out in Indy was back in 2018-2019. Everyone in this pic is gone. The uniforms are gone. And we’ve even renamed the Fieldhouse since then.
A few teams in the east are monitoring Paul George, per
@johnhollinger
“Keep an eye on Paul George, by the way. Presumably, if there was a max extension sitting around for him, he would have signed it by now; I think it’s fair to say a couple of cap-room teams in the East are,
Remember this animated masterpiece? Now imagine the Pacers creative team put together a ‘Boomer’s Big Buck Hunter Arcade’ game for our upcoming series.
It’s times like these where I’m thankful I don’t live in Indiana and can use League Pass without worrying about blackouts. Thoughts and prayers for everyone forced to rely on Bally Sports
Veryyyy interesting. It appears to use the same numbering from this year’s City Editions with a modernized script font that’s a mix between the 1974-76 uniforms and the 47’s crosstown hat collection.
If it’s a preview of next year’s unis, but it’d be the team’s first black uni.
A friendly reminder that on Jan 16th, Rick Carlisle called Lauri the ‘closest thing’ he has seen to Dirk.
3 days later, Zach Lowe reports the Pacers called the Jazz to ask about acquiring Lauri before the Siakam trade. But the Jazz had ‘zero interest’ in moving him at that time.
I always do color tests on a FloJo jersey, and since Pacers Twitter has been so focused on uniform designs the past few days, I started playing around.
Here’s Test 01 with a much lighter blue than the royal blue of the past, but way more subdued than this year’s Cyan.
We have officially come full circle ladies and gentlemen 🙏 I’m here for the love that Artest has been getting the past few years.
While it’s still a hot button topic, I hope PG can eventually experience the same kind of acceptance and appreciation .
Today marks two years of Pacers (with a bit of Fever) uniform tracking. I’m proud that I’ve managed to keep this account going and had the chance to meet many of you along the way 🙏
I’m hoping that this anniversary coincides with a trophy before too long.
My first season of uniform tracking is officially in the books!
It’s been a rollercoaster, and I appreciate everyone who has joined along for the ride 🙏
I’m confident that I’ll be tracking our team in the playoffs next season, but in the meantime, I’ll be tracking the Fever 🏀
Similarly to the team’s Association and Icon jerseys, the Pacers will use the Statement uniform design from the past few seasons again in 2022-23.
Last season, the team posted a record of 7-18 while wearing these jerseys.
