The Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled their new throwback jersey for the 2019-20 season and the players are loving it.

Sophomore guard Collin Sexton retweeted the announcement from the Cavaliers’ official Twitter account and commented with several fire emojis.

Kevin Love posted a photo of the black, orange and powder blue version of his No. 0 jersey on Instagram with some cool emojis in the caption.

One of those to comment on Love’s post was former Cavs shooting guard J.R. Smith, who jokingly asked if he could get his shorts.

The throwback uniform first debuted 25 years ago when the Cavs were coached by Mike Fratello and they played in Gund Arena.

Among the players on the roster that year were a number of legendary Cavs players such as Mark Price, Terrell Brandon, Larry Nance Sr., John Williams, and Brad Daugherty. 

It’ll be up to this year’s Cavs team to live up to the throwback jersey’s lofty reputation.
