Anniversary jersey returns for Kings clash

Adelaide 36ers will be going back to 1999 again on Brett Maher Court this Friday night against Sydney Kings in the 1998/99 Anniversary jersey.

The jersey will make another return by popular demand from the players and fans with the pinstripes to be back at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

Adelaide 36ers head coach Scott Ninnis is thrilled the club will be wearing the special jersey again, after his side wore the iconic strip against Melbourne United and Sydney Kings earlier this month.

“That jersey and that logo bring back so many special memories,” Ninnis said.

“All the guys love it, they want to wear it all the time.”

Adelaide 36ers CEO Nic Barbato said the reactions after the club wore the jerseys to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the 1998/99 NBL championship have been fantastic.

“The response to the anniversary jersey was so popular we have decided to bring it back out again,” Barbato said.
