I thought I was over the trend of sports teams wearing random sponsored jerseys, but then the Delaware 87ers went and made Pink Power Ranger uniforms, and now all bets are off. Not only are the Power Rangers the best crime-fighting squad of all time, Kimberly was clearly the best ranger of the group.

The jerseys and entire evening will benefit the March of Dimes, which will help generate awareness for premature births in Delaware. This is the first time Nickelodeon has partnered with an NBA Developmental team. It also helps that the Power Rangers movie remake hits theaters on March 24.
Look at the promo image for this! This is everything my ’90s child heart needs in 2017. Basketball and Power Rangers.

Here is the part I am most interested about from the Sevens’ press release:
The first 2,000 fans will receive a Nickelodeon Night commemorative poster featuring the Power Rangers and will enjoy thematic in-arena music and trivia throughout the evening.
But honestly I made this post so I could have an excuse to search for old Power Rangers clips.
I’ll now be watching the original Power Rangers on YouTube for the rest of the evening.
