Michael Jordan’s 1987-88 Season: A Legendary Uniform

A Season of Unparalleled Excellence

In the annals of basketball history, few seasons stand out as brightly as Michael Jordan’s 1987-88 campaign. This was the year when Jordan, the Chicago Bulls’ prodigious talent, ascended to the pinnacle of the sport, capturing his first regular season MVP award. Averaging a staggering 35 points per game, Jordan not only led the league in scoring but also showcased his all-around prowess with 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and an impressive 3.2 steals per game. His defensive acumen was equally unmatched, earning him the Defensive Player of the Year award, a testament to his dominance on both ends of the court.

The Iconic Chicago Bulls Jersey

The jersey from this iconic season is a piece of basketball memorabilia that embodies the essence of Jordan’s greatness. The front left tail features the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “46”, with an additional tag reading “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the CHICAGO BULLS”. Adjacent are two white strip tags that read “87” and “3”LB”. The right inseam tag reads “100% NYLON” with washing instructions, ensuring the garment’s authenticity and care.

• Team Branding: Across the chest, “BULLS” is painted in red on black, with the player number “23” prominently displayed on both the front and back in red on black vinyl lettering.
• Player Identification: The name “JORDAN” is emblazoned across the back in red vinyl lettering, applied directly to the white mesh jersey.
• Restoration and Provenance: The player name and numbers have been professionally restored, with a faint outline of the original identifiers remaining, matching known examples offered by the Bulls themselves throughout the years.

The Shorts: Completing the Ensemble

The shorts accompanying this jersey are equally significant. In the rear waistband, the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “36”, bears the player number “23” handwritten in black marker.
