The teaser poster for today's uniform unveiling. Click it to view a larger version.
UPDATE: I'm disappointed to report that the streaming video of the unveiling at OrlandoMagic.com simply won't load on my computer, so I'll be unable to liveblog or cover the event in any way.
UPDATE 2: The feed from OrlandoSentinel.com is working.
So, today's the day: the Orlando Magic will officially unveil their new uniforms, about which they're making a big-to do: witness this trailer on the Magic's homepage to get an idea of the hype they're giving the new look.
We already have a fairly good idea of what to expect: this shot of Dwight Howard from the NBA 2k9 videogame shows a white home uniform with the word "MAGIC" in blue across the chest, black side panels, blue trim/piping, and black pinstripes. It's safe to assume the road version will flip-flop the blue and white, and will have the word "ORLANDO" across the chest.
But it's not all cut-and-dried. Screengrabs from a Dwight Howard "got milk?" photoshoot show Dwight wearing a version without pinstripes. This version is significantly less cool.
I hope to live-blog the ceremony from the comfort of my room. The webcast begins at 12:55 PM EST, according to this press release. Join us, won't you?

I'll do my best
If my internet connection gets fuzzy, it might take a while. But I’ll try.

Wow..
I really like them. It’s pretty much the newer script with the mid 90s color/pinstripes.
New Unis
… are awesome. I love them. I’ve been waiting to buy a Magic jersey over the years in anticipation of the 20th anniversary, and now I definitely have to buy a Howard jersey to rep the Magic since up here in Chicago and not back home.

well they are pretty well what the leaked pic showed us.
Pretty sweet and it just dawned on me
- Pinstripes from first Unis
- Side panels from ‘Dazzle’ unis and
- Font/Lettering from the most recent ones.
Nice collaboration of our history (and the away Blue stands out WAY more than the Home whites)
Yeah it's a combination of the three past ones
And I think the black alts that will debut in two years — is there any doubt that they’re making a comeback — will look even nicer.
Well done.
do you or anyone else for that matter recall them ever playing in GREY with blue pins?
I bought a Grey Hardaway one on ebay last week but can’t find any info one weather the ever used them on court?
Think you may be right...
Its a Nike Swingman and the jock-tag says ‘95’. Nice looking jersey tho…
Identical to the 1st Black alts, (with Orl#ndo across chest) but grey with blue stripes.
Thanks tho!
Maybe they should make real silver ones
Instead of going with black alternates in two years, they could try silver, like the one you have. As long as they don’t make them absurdly shiny like the Mavericks’ ill-fated “garbage bag” uniforms.
