The numbers, also in white with blue drop shadows, are placed on the left chest.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sixers unveil new City Edition uniforms for 2020-21|url=https://www.nba.com/news/sixers-unveil-new-city-edition-uniforms-for-2020-21|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 10, 2020|access-date=November 12, 2020|archive-date=November 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111105021/https://www.nba.com/news/sixers-unveil-new-city-edition-uniforms-for-2020-21|url-status=live}}</ref> The Sixers' "Earned" uniform for 2021 (after qualifying in the 2020 playoffs) featured a blue silhouette of the Liberty Bell on a white background, with white numbers placed in the middle.<ref>{{cite news|title=Nike Earned Edition Jersey: Philadelphia 76ers|url=https://www.nba.com/news/nike-earned-edition-jersey-philadelphia-76ers|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=March 6, 2021|access-date=March 28, 2021|archive-date=March 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210315201537/https://www.nba.com/news/nike-earned-edition-jersey-philadelphia-76ers|url-status=live}}</ref> In commemoration of the NBA's 75th anniversary, the 2021β22 "City" uniforms featured elements of previous uniform designs (a.k.a. "Mixtape"). The Sixers' edition featured a navy blue base and red lettering taken from the 1972β77 uniforms. Red, orange, green and blue blocks on each side paid tribute to the team's former home, the Spectrum, and also represented fan support for each of Philadelphia's "Big Four" teams (red representing the [[Phillies]], orange representing the [[Philadelphia Flyers|Flyers]], green representing the [[Philadelphia Eagles|Eagles]], and blue representing the 76ers). The Spectrum center court logo, featuring the arena silhouette at the center, adorned the shorts, and the "S" from that logo was placed on the waist.<ref>{{cite news|title=2021β22 76ers City uniform|url=https://www.nba.com/sixers/city|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|access-date=November 1, 2021|archive-date=November 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211101144229/https://www.nba.com/sixers/city|url-status=live}}</ref> The 2022β23 "City" uniform centered around Philadelphia's Greek translation of the "City of Brotherly Love", which was inscribed in front of the uniform. The mostly minimalist style uniform has a white base, red text and striping, and blue trim, and was inspired by the city's love of basketball in all levels.<ref>{{cite news|title=Philadelphia 76ers 22/23 City Edition Uniform: City of Brotherly Love|url=https://www.nba.com/news/philadelphia-76ers-city-edition|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=November 10, 2022|access-date=November 14, 2022|archive-date=November 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221114065557/https://www.nba.com/news/philadelphia-76ers-city-edition|url-status=live}}</ref> For the 2023β24 "City" uniform, the Sixers again went with the "City of Brotherly Love" theme, featuring a letter style inspired by the neon signage of the [[Reading Terminal Market]].
