The Philadelphia 76ers are named to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776. The team's name reflects the city's historical significance as the birthplace of American democracy. The "76ers" was adopted in 1963 when the franchise relocated from Syracuse, New York, to Philadelphia. The name symbolizes both the team's connection to the city's heritage and its competitive spirit.
