Adelaide City Eagles became the Adelaide 36ers in 1983 after Basketball Association of South Australia decided a new nickname was required with several state clubs joining forces to be an NBL franchise.

The club played the 1983 and 1984 seasons as the Adelaide 36ers before West Adelaide Bearcats merged with the club to form one franchise in 1985.

Adelaide will wear the 1983 uniform at home when the 36ers play Perth Wildcats on Sunday, December 8 at the Entertainment Centre.

The NBL25 Heritage Round jersey will be available to purchase from Wednesday, November 20.
