Historic Kentucky Basketball Uniform: A Collector’s Dream
A Piece of Basketball Heritage
Step into the rich history of college basketball with this remarkable Kentucky Wildcats uniform, a testament to the storied legacy of one of the most successful programs in NCAA history. This uniform, featuring the iconic blue and white colors, is a must-have for any serious collector of basketball memorabilia.
Detailed Description
The jersey is adorned with the classic “Kentucky” across the chest, a symbol of excellence and tradition in college basketball. The player number “32” is prominently displayed below and on the back, accompanied by the player name “BAKER” across the shoulders. Notably, there has been a team-instituted number change on both the front and back, adding a unique aspect to this piece. All numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in white on red tackle twill, ensuring durability and visual appeal.
Inside the rear waistband of the shorts, you’ll find the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “34”, with an adjacent box tag reading “A” embroidered in white chain stitching. This uniform is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
Why This Uniform Stands Out
- Authenticity: The uniform is properly tagged and shows signs of game use, enhancing its value and authenticity.
- Unique Features: The team-instituted number change adds a distinctive element to this already rare piece.
- Historical Significance: Represents the rich history and tradition of Kentucky basketball, a powerhouse in NCAA history.
