Miami Heat Revives Vice Uniforms Amid Butler Trade Rumors

The Miami Heat have announced the return of their popular 'Original Vice' jerseys, inspired by the 1980s Miami Vice television series, starting with their home game against the Denver Nuggets. This reintroduction coincides with the potential return of Jimmy Butler from a seven-game team suspension. Butler, who has expressed a desire to be traded, has been linked with teams such as the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, and Dallas Mavericks. Despite trade rumors, Butler might continue playing for the Heat if no suitable trade occurs. The Vice jerseys, first introduced in the 2017-18 season, have been highly successful, selling over 230,000 units and generating $25 million in sales. The jerseys will replace the Heat's standard white Association uniforms for the remainder of the season.
