Game-Worn Houston Rockets Jerseys: A Tribute to NBA History
Introduction to the Collection
In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game quite like authentic, game-worn jerseys. We are thrilled to present a collection of three such jerseys, each a testament to the rich history and legacy of the Houston Rockets. These jerseys, worn by Chuck Nevitt, Winston Garland, and Derrick Chievous, are not only pieces of fabric but symbols of the athletes’ dedication and the unforgettable moments they created on the court.
Chuck Nevitt’s Jersey
The Chuck Nevitt jersey is a remarkable artifact, featuring the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s size 42 tag on the left front tail. Above it, the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for ‘Houston Rockets'” tag proudly sits, accompanied by three additional strip tags: “86,” “1” L.B.,” and a blank tag. This jersey, with its tackle twill numbering and lettering, showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the era. Presented to us as game-used, it shows appropriate wear, adding to its authenticity and allure.
Winston Garland’s Jersey
Winston Garland’s jersey, another gem in this collection, bears the “Champion” manufacturer’s size 42 wash instructions tag on the front left tail. Inside the left seam, a “3” Extra Length” flag tag is present, indicating the custom fit tailored for Garland’s on-court performance. The jersey’s tackle twill elements ensure durability and style, reflecting the Rockets’ iconic design. This piece, too, is presented to us as game-used, with no alterations, preserving its historical integrity.
Derrick Chievous’s Jersey
The Derrick Chievous jersey completes this trio, featuring the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s size 42 tag on the left front tail. Above it, the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for ‘Houston Rockets'” tag is displayed, alongside three strip tags: “88,” “1” L.B.,” and a tag with the player number “3” inscribed in black marker. This jersey, with its tackle twill details, is a testament to Chievous’s contribution to the Rockets’ legacy. Presented to us as game-used, it remains unaltered, maintaining its original charm.
