The NBA jersey thread
- Thread starter Verse1
- Start date
I used to have a little online business selling 'vintage' jerseys, so had a tonne of them.
Instead of posting hundreds of pics, ill just post some of my faves:
Starting with this one:
Sand Knit was the first company (in the 80s) to manufacture jerseys that were to be made available to the public.
Absolutely one of my favourite ones as i can actually wear it so it looks like a singlet more so then a jersey.
Notice the lack of name on the back. As they were only licensed by the NBA, not the players.
Only the later versions of these had the names after coming to an agreement with the NBA players association
Some of my favourite champion ones:
Now for some non jersey stuff:
Heres one of my more recent pick ups (currently being altered by the tailor for 'street use' lol)
Retail Authentic Melo

I love jerseys too and have a HUGE collection (50 or so, so too big to photograph). I like buy obscure players/team jerseys that you done see alot, IE Jalen Rose bulls jersey, Keith Van Horn sixers jersey, Andre Miller clippers, Steve Francis magics and Rashad Lewis sonics. I also have Kemp jerseys from Rookie year, 95-96 season, cavs 97-98, blazers and magics jerseys. I've been rocking a Danny Fortson cinni jersey for years and nobody I meet into basketball has any idea who he is, I love it 
Now for some Autos:
D-Rose Retail Authentic (PSA/DNA)
Melo Retail Authentic (Direct from NYK)
Lebron On Court Authentic (UDA)
Some of yous mightve already seen this, but its my absolute favourite piece of basketball related memorabilia.
95/96 (72-10 season) Game Issued, signed, UD authenticated, custom framed jersey.
My mate was so impressed by the framing he went and had something similar done for the jersey of his favourite player:

Man that Penny looks good. Im not usually a fan of an image like that blocking the jersey but that looks good. Im off to that framer on Thursday to get a jersey done looking forward to it.

That looks sensational, though I don't think it's "game issued" because the nameplate seems too high up on the jersey.

Firstly, this jock tag is on the front of the jersey:
If you think the nameplate is too high, what about these:
but thanks for the compliment.

Firstly, jock tags mean nothing...
Secondly, referring to 2006 auctions (including a site I've never heard of) isn't a great argument, especially since people have become much more educated in gamers since then.
Thirdly, from my one which apparently you said may not be real (but edited it): "The name “JORDAN†appears on the back with a vertical arch. The name has an approximate 6†drop from the bottom of the neckline. This is correct for game issued Chicago Bulls game jerseys from the era. Non game issued jerseys, or pro cut styles, only have the 3†drop."
Yours may be a later style, I'm just saying that I wouldn't be 100% convinced that it's an actually GAME ISSUED one. Still looks beautiful though, so it's not a criticism.
