With Fiesta less than two months away, the San Antonio Spurs have unveiled the team’s medal commemorating this year’s citywide celebration.

The eye-catching turquoise, fuchsia and orange medal depicts the Spurs’ 2022 City Edition jersey. Now available for pre-order, the collectable is a tribute to “the organization’s rich legacy with a nod to the future,” according to a team press release.

It’s doubtful the colorful new design will brighten the playoff prospects for the struggling Spurs, now 19-32 and ranked 11th in the Western Conference. Even so, proceeds from the $10 medals will fund youth programs sponsored by Spurs Give, the team’s nonprofit arm.

Fiesta San Antonio is scheduled to begin on March 31 and wrap up April 10.
