The new uniform features the traditional Heat colors of red, black, and white to honor the team's unforgettable playoff runs that were groundbreaking in their use of color campaigns.
The side paneling on one side is a nod to the original team jersey.
In addition to the new jersey, the collection also includes memorabilia, jackets, and a series of t-shirts with classic snapshots capturing memorable moments from the Heat's history.
