Reggie Miller’s 1987 Indiana Pacers Jersey: A Testament to Basketball Excellence
An Icon of the Court
Reggie Miller, a name synonymous with precision and prowess, spent his entire illustrious 18-year career with the Indiana Pacers. Known for his sharpshooting ability, Miller ranks second all-time in the NBA for the most three-pointers made. His remarkable career includes being a five-time All-Star and a distinguished member of the exclusive 50-40-90 club. The Pacers franchise honored his contributions by retiring his No. 31 jersey, and in 2012, he was rightfully inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
This particular jersey is a significant artifact from Miller’s early career. On the front left tail, it features a “MacGregor Sand-Knit” size “44” manufacturer’s tag. Adjacent to this is a white swatch with the year “87” embroidered in black stitching, and below it, a white strip tag with “4”LB” in black stitching. The left chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo, embroidered with precision.
Across the chest, the jersey reads “PACERS” in bold blue and white vinyl lettering. The player number “31” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in white on yellow vinyl lettering. The back of the jersey features the player name “MILLER” in yellow vinyl lettering, applied directly to the blue mesh fabric. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
