Kobe Bryant’s 2012 Christmas Day Game-Worn Uniform: A Legendary Artifact

A Momentous Occasion in Basketball History

On Christmas Day 2012, Kobe Bryant delivered a stellar performance, scoring 34 points in a game that has since become a cherished memory for basketball enthusiasts. This uniform, photo-matched to the second half of that iconic game, stands as a testament to Bryant’s enduring legacy and his remarkable contributions to the sport. The uniform is adorned with an array of distinctive features that underscore its authenticity and historical significance.

Distinctive Features and Authenticity

The uniform is meticulously crafted, featuring an “adidas” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, marked with “CLIMACOOL” and “SIZE 4XL.” The tag bears the inscription “2nd” in black pen, accompanied by a “LENGTH +4” flag tag. Adjacent to this is the official NBA swatch, reading “LLA01667.” The left inseam holds a size “4XL4” materials tag with washing instructions, and further along the seam is a built-in black mic pocket. Inside, attached to the rear collar, is a size “4XL4” tag.

• Embroidered NBA Logo: The official “NBA” logo is embroidered on the left chest.
• Team and Player Details: “LAKERS” is emblazoned across the chest in white tackle twill with a purple-stitched border. The player number “24” appears on both the front and back, while “BRYANT” is proudly displayed across the back.
• Signature and Inscription: Bryant’s signature graces the back player number “2,” with the added inscription “Xmas 2012,” rated an 8-9 overall in our opinion.
• Panini Authentic Hologram: A Panini Authentic hologram sticker “PA20370” is affixed to the back player number “2.”

The shorts complement the jersey with an “adidas” manufacturer’s tag inside the rear waistline, marked “CLIMACOOL” and “SIZE 3XL,” with the player number “24” inscribed in black pen. The official “NBA” logo is embroidered near the right hip, and the team’s “L” logo is stitched on each side of the shorts.
