"For more than three decades, Magic fans have told us stories about their love for the team and in particular this Heat and Hustle era," CEO Alex Martins said in a press release. "A team that stands for hard work and determination, leaving everything out on the court. These traits are forever woven into the 35-year fabric of our organization and bring great price to Magic fans and our city alike. We celebrate the endless devotion of our fans with this year's Classic Edition uniform."

The Magic also showcased a new look to the court that will be featured for select home games throughout the season.
