The Sixers team store at Xfinity Mobile Arena opened on Tuesday (and will be open again on Wednesday), giving fans another opportunity to get their hands on fresh gear ahead of the season, including newly-minted James and Jaylen Brown<\/a> jerseys. <\/p>\n Fans who lined up outside the store before it opened to secure the new jerseys were greeted by members of the Sixers entertainment team and music as they entered the store. <\/p>\n \u00bb READ MORE: How much will LeBron boost NBC Sports Philadelphia? Here\u2019s what the past says.<\/a><\/p>\n Victoria Isley, the team\u2019s vice president of partnership solutions, said that while the store is normally open only on game days, the Sixers wanted to do something special to help fans gear up for the season given the hype surrounding the team \u2014 and the demand for James jerseys.<\/p>\n \u201cFans have been so excited since this entire offseason, [with] multiple acquisitions,\u201d Isley said. \u201cSo I think we\u2019re ready to have the season start, and I think fans are showing it by lining up early to get their gear and their jerseys ahead of the season.\u201d <\/p>\n Turning the team store into an event, Isley said, was the Sixers organization\u2019s way of showing what it expects the vibes to be like all season. Isley believes the excitement will continue into media day and the start of preseason, carrying all the way into the season opener. <\/p>\n And most fans at the store on Tuesday \u2014 like 21-year-old Cam Johnson, from Oak Ridge, N.J. \u2014 expect the excitement of the season to culminate with a parade down Broad Street. <\/p>\n \u00bb READ MORE: Sixers fans got their first look at LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and Tyrese Maxey on the court together<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe hype is definitely going to continue,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAnytime you got LeBron James on your team, you\u2019re going to get heightened media attention, fan attention, all that. But we got the GOAT on our team, in my opinion, two GOATs on our team, and I expect to win a championship because this team made it to the second round last year. <\/p>\n \u201cNow you\u2019re inserting the greatest player of all time with this team \u2014 and I think he fits seamlessly \u2014 and now you got Jaylen Brown too. I got high expectations.\u201d <\/p>\n While Johnson believes James, 41, to be the best player ever, he thinks that this season, Brown, 29, will make the bigger on-court impact for the Sixers and average more points than James due to the different stages of their careers. <\/p>\n Still, it was James\u2019 jersey that was the main event on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Stephanie Hannum, 36, drove from Cape May<\/a> to buy her son a James jersey ahead of his 14th birthday on Wednesday. Hannum used to have to buy her son James merchandise in yellow and purple when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers. <\/p>\n \u00bb READ MORE: Sixers hiring assistant coach Phil Handy, a veteran with deep ties to LeBron James<\/a><\/p>\n Now, with James on the Sixers, Hannum said she hopes to take her son to more games while wearing red and blue to support his favorite team and favorite player. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a huge LeBron fan and a 76ers fan,\u201d Hannum said. \u201cAs soon as [James] got signed, it was like all he could talk about, so I was like, I need to drive up here to get this today.\u201d<\/p>\n Fortunately, Hannum was able to find one that fit her son. Some fans had complained about a lack of available youth jerseys, but a Sixers representative noted that was due to the demand, and they restocked later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n The combination of Philly fans, known for being an impassioned group, and hard core James\u2019 supporters, who follow him from team to team, has caused the future Hall of Famer\u2019s Sixers jerseys to become a hot commodity. James quickly passed Shohei Ohtani<\/a> for the most jersey sales after switching teams, according to Fanatics.<\/p>\n When James\u2019 jersey hit Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods, they quickly flew off the shelves there too<\/a>.<\/p>\n
