A Tribute to Basketball Legacy

Step into the rich history of the NBA with this extraordinary piece of basketball memorabilia, a game-worn uniform and warm-up jacket from the 1986-87 season, belonging to the legendary Walter Davis of the Phoenix Suns. This ensemble is not just a testament to Davis’s remarkable career but also a poignant reminder of the era’s basketball culture.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Design

The uniform is a masterpiece of design and authenticity. On the front left tail, a “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag proudly declares, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively For The PHOENIX SUNS.” Below, another “Sand-Knit” size “44” tag confirms its tailored fit. A strip tag with “1-86-87” inscribed in black marker adds a touch of personalization. The right inseam tag reads “100% NYLON” with washing instructions, ensuring the garment’s longevity.

  • Embroidered NBA Logo: The official “NBA” logo graces the front left chest, symbolizing the league’s prestige.
  • Memorial Patch: A black “30” patch on the front right chest honors teammate Nick Vanos, adding sentimental value.
  • Team and Player Identification: “PHOENIX” emblazoned across the chest, with player number “6” on both front and back, all in vibrant orange on purple tackle twill.
  • Signature: Walter Davis’s autograph below the back number “6” in black marker, rated an 8 in our opinion.

Shorts and Warm-Up Jacket

The shorts are equally distinguished, featuring six tags inside the rear waistline, including a “Sand-Knit” tag and a strip tag marked “1-86-87.” The player number “6” is also inscribed, ensuring authenticity. The shorts’ design is completed with the “SUNS” logo on each side in purple on white tackle twill, and an embroidered NBA logo on the front right thigh.

The warm-up jacket, though sans manufacturer’s tag, carries the player number “6” inside the rear collar. The front left chest displays “SUNS” in purple on white tackle twill, set against an orange on white background, while “DAVIS” adorns the back in orange on white tackle twill.
