The team's website explains the meaning behind the jersey, saying, "In 2017, VICE was born: a trip back through time to the Miami of 1988."
They added, "A tribute, honoring its past through the prism of our future. A uniform, coded as a composite of those that came before it. A design, engineered to deceive your eye—and the opposition's. So as we envision the Miami of a not-so-distant tomorrow, let's reflect on the legacy of its 80s era alter ego—and the latest look it's inspired."
The jerseys will be available Wednesday at midnight, according to the team.
While many fans loved the new look, of course, there were still jokes being made.
Here are some of the best reactions to the reveal:

The Heat are to the NBA what the Chargers are to the NFL.
The Miami Heat jerseys are the Los Angeles Chargers jerseys of the NBA. In a league of their own. https://t.co/g2FU9Pun0R
