Just when Spurs fans thought they were done celebrating the long-awaited Fiesta-themed alternate jerseys, the team dropped a sneak peek of a homecourt design to match.
Fans spent the last few years petitioning the Spurs for a reintroduction of the vintage 1990s logo. On Friday, the team delivered with jerseys that are reminiscent of the old-school team warmups, set to launch on Dec. 3. The Spurs added to the hype Monday morning by releasing a sneak peek of the coordinating homecourt design, which features the team logo with bands of aqua, orange and pink in the background.

Revered retired Spur David Robinson and the Spurs Coyote ushered in the reveal. Fans will be able to see the entire design on Wednesday during a free virtual watch party hosted by the Spurs.
For now, fans are reposting and retweeting the first-look shots, which come with a bit of nostalgia. The Admiral is featured in a split photo post, with one side showing him on the court in the 1990s; the other shows the 55-year-old standing on the new center circle, modeling the just-revealed uniform.
“Make yourself at homecourt, Admiral,” the Spurs said online.
