The Orlando Magic unveiled their new jerseys for the 2025-26 season, reviving their iconic star logo. These nostalgic moves were made as an ode to the team’s origins and symbol of their championship aspirations.
On Tuesday, the Magic revealed its new logo and jerseys during a celebration at the Kia Center. The wordmark logo, which will appear across the chest on the jerseys, is a fresh rendition of the team name in which the “A” is replaced with a silver star. The same letter will be replaced by the star in “Orlando” for their blue away jerseys.

The white home jerseys will have Magic blue accents and pinstripes and vice versa. Furthermore, the team unveiled an alternate jersey with the wordmark “Magic” running diagonally across the chest. The lettering splits a solid blue upper portion and a pinstriped dark blue bottom.
The two primary jerseys will feature the Nike logo on the right upper chest while the alternating kit will have the Air Jordan symbol. All three will have the Disney logo as their sponsor on the left.
Orlando wore similar jerseys last season. However, the new jerseys feature bolder stripes, similar to the vintage versions with the primary difference being the logo change.

“The logo evolves with a nod towards nostalgia featuring a legendary, star-centric logo displaying a “reach for the stars” mentality to match the team’s championship ideals,” the team said in a press release.
When the Magic was founded as an expansion team in 1989, they debuted with the iconic Magic star logo with a blue basketball leaving a trail of stars to its right. The second star also served both as the “A” in Orlando and the dot on the lowercase “i” in Magic.
The logo was rearranged and slightly polished in 2000 with the basketball sitting under the wordmark. The trail of stars was also refined with a black comet-like tail with three smaller silver stars on it.

In 2010, the Magic removed the star from the wordmark and switched to the team name in all uppercase lettering.
The Magic finished with the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and a 41-41 record this past season. They later lost in five games against the Boston Celtics and were eliminated in the first round.
Last season, they forced the Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games in the opening round but ultimately lost.
