INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Pacers announced Thursday the return of the iconic gold pinstripe uniforms, a throwback jersey made popular during the Reggie Miller era. The classic pinstripe uniform was first introduced in 1997 and will return to the hardwood once again for the 2026-2027 season. The new statement edition threads host a gold base with black pinstripes and dark blue lettering. “Gold has always signaled the biggest moments in Pacers basketball,” the Pacers said in a statement. “Now it takes center stage on a new Statement Edition, bringing with it the return of an icon. The pinstripes that defined one of the greatest eras in franchise history are back, reimagined for today’s team and the next generation of Pacers basketball. A new statement, built from an unmistakable part of who we are.” The throwback uniforms will also pay tribute to the late Bobby “Slick” Leonard and will include his iconic “BOOM BABY” catchphrase at the bottom of the jersey. The Pacers fan favorite coached the team from 1968 through 1980 and worked for the team as a radio analyst from 1985 to 2021. The new uniforms hit the market on September 1. Pacers fans can enter a raffle to win a signed Tyrese Haliburton pinstripe uniform by texting the word “statement” to 727-722 or by visiting Pacers.com/sweeps.
