"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."
