“These retro uniforms spark special memories and feelings for our fans and the organization alike. It was a very exciting re-launch downtown for everyone back then,” said Tracy Marek, Cavs chief marketing officer. “We are excited to see threads of the past weave into the future as we prepare to once again tip-off a new era of Cavaliers basketball, this time in the newly-transformed Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.”

Throughout the 2019-20 season, the Cavaliers will pay homage to the journey of the franchise over the past 50 seasons with various “Era Nights” dedicated to remembering five periods of Cavs history beginning in 1970 when the team first joined the league as an NBA expansion team. Each “Era Night” will feature exclusive giveaways, unique content and activities, in-game moments and more—all to give fans the opportunity to relive and experience the journey of the Cavaliers over the last 50 seasons.
The Cavaliers will wear the Classic Edition uniform during eight games throughout the 2019-20 season. In addition to the Cavs home opener, fans can look forward to seeing the retro uniform during these home games:

Cavs Introduce Two New Homecourts for 50th Season
|
 |
|
A special Classic Edition court has been designed to complement the team’s uniform during eight games throughout the upcoming season. The court is inspired by the Gund Arena Homecourt used from 1996-2003.
The natural maple hardwood floor is framed with a two-toned powder blue and black perimeter and is accented by the wave pattern featured in the Classic Edition design. The lane is solid orange with black and white accents. The Cavs classic logo is also displayed at half court.
The east sideline features “Cavs.com” near the home bench with the team’s social media handle “@Cavs” at the visitor’s bench as well as the NBA logo positioned at the half court line. Each baseline proudly displays the throwback Cleveland Cavaliers wordmark in orange and black inline typeface. The Cavaliers 50th season logo and the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse logo can be read on each half court.
Designed by the Cavaliers creative team, the Classic Edition court was constructed by Cincinnati Floor Company in Cincinnati, Ohio.

A unique 50th season Main Court has also been created for the 2019-20 season. Displayed at center court is the recently introduced logo that highlights 50 seasons of Cavaliers basketball through a dominant 5-0 in a bold, gold fill. The numbers are outlined in the Cavaliers heritage colors of wine and gold, first introduced to the team in 1970 and later re-introduced to the team in 2010-11. Centered at the bottom of the numbers is the Cavaliers partial logo to reflect the current team brand.
A solid gold perimeter frames the natural maple hard wood floor. The lane is solid wine with gold accents. On each baseline are black, wine and white hash marks that bookend “Cleveland Cavaliers” in an aggressive wine and black front. Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse can be read on each half court and the east sideline features “Cavs.com” near the home bench and the team’s social media handle “@Cavs” at the visitor’s bench with the NBA logo positioned at the half court line.
“Celebrating 50 Seasons” is centered on the west sideline and will include the names of all Wine & Gold United members (the team’s year-round season ticket-based club) within the letters.
Also designed by the Cavaliers creative team, the Main Court was constructed by Robbins Sports Surfaces in Appleton, Wisconsin.
