Earlier this week, the Orlando Magic announced a new set of 2025-2026 season uniforms, inspired by nostalgia for the team’s original logo and design scheme. (The website for the collection is also pretty cool in its own right.) We’re digging how the team listened to their fans’ input for this pinstripe reboot, and are pretty curious to see what other merch drops they might have up their sleeves this offseason.
Of course, we can’t help but also wonder…how could this “new era of Magic basketball” be used to Level-Up the impact for the Orlando community as a whole?

Shocker: we have ideas.
The half-blue, half-pinstripe uni in particular is giving pajama vibes, in the very best way, of course. And you know who loves PJs? Kids.
You know who doesn’t always get to wear their own PJs, though? Kids going through some tough health stuff in hospitals.
So what if the Orlando Magic partnered with the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, and Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Hospital Gowns program, to give kids receiving care their own set of “Seriously Magic™ Jammies?”

Disney and Starlight already partnered back in 2021 to create Princess and Star Wars themed gowns together, so this feels like a no-brainer.
Just imagine — the Magic would be winning-over new fans for life. The kids would get to feel more like themselves, more comfortable, and less afraid while they’re not at home. And Starlight would get more awareness and visibility for the incredible work they’re doing in hospitals across the country.
It’s a WIN | WIN idea for everyone, and we’ve got plenty more where this came from.
