1994-95 Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns Game-Used Road Jersey
Charles Barkley’s Iconic Phoenix Suns Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
A Legendary Career
Charles Barkley, an indomitable force on the basketball court, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice: first in 2006 for his stellar individual career and again in 2010 as a member of the legendary 1992 USA men’s basketball Olympic “Dream Team.” His contributions to the sport have been immortalized, with his No. 34 jersey retired by both the Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers. Barkley’s legacy is further cemented by his inclusion in the list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Barkley’s time with the Phoenix Suns. The jersey features a “Champion” size “52” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions on the left front tail. Adjacent to it is another “Champion” tag that reads, “DESIGNED & TAILORED 94-95 EXCLUSIVELY FOR PHOENIX SUNS BODY LENGTH +3.” The left inseam bears a tag indicating “100% POLYESTER,” while the right chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo embroidered.
- Team Name: “SUNS” emblazoned across the front.
