The Orlando Magic are going back to their glory days to celebrate their 30th anniversary during the 2018-19 season.
ESPN's Darren Rovell shared images of the Magic's throwback uniforms:
In a fitting bit of symmetry, the Magic celebrated the 26-year anniversary of Shaquille O'Neal signing his rookie contract with the team on Tuesday.
The Magic originally used the pinstripe jerseys from 1989-98, the first nine years of the franchise's existence.
O'Neal and Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway, who was drafted No. 3 overall in 1993, led the franchise to three straight 50-win seasons from 1993-96 and advanced to the NBA Finals in 1995.
The Magic will be looking to end their six-year playoff drought this season. Since they probably can't bring back O'Neal and Hardaway, using the jerseys that made them such a successful duo is the next best option.
