The Magic unveiled the latest iteration of the team’s City Edition uniform that recognizes the history of both the franchise and the city of Orlando on Tuesday.
The uniform pays tribute to the Magic’s history by showcasing multiple eras and beloved classics including the throwback and fan-favorite “Magic” script front and center of the jersey along with the iconic star playing a central role, which is a nod to the original font and design, the team said.
The cascading stars along the side panels bring together each of the elements that represent the Magic.
In addition to the wordmark from 1989, the inset panel on the shorts features the original ball and star trail logo, with the neck and arm taping from the team’s original uniforms. The waistband features the “ORLANDO” wordmark that was first introduced in 2008, tying together the franchise’s visual evolution.

The base color of platinum continues from last season and is combined with the iconic Magic blue to help capture the essence of the team’s brand through the years.
The NBA City Edition uniforms were designed to represent the stories, history and heritage that make each franchise unique — honoring the bond between court, community and culture, according to the team. The Magic’s first City Edition uniform design was unveiled in 2019 with an orange theme, and this year’s rendition is the seventh.
The City Edition uniform is one of four new ones Orlando is wearing this season, following a complete rebrand over the summer.
The Magic will debut their latest City Edition uniform when they host the Clippers on Nov. 20, and the team will wear them at six home games this season. A new home court to match the theming was also shared Tuesday.
