1988-89 Adrian Dantley Detroit Pistons Game-Used Road Jersey
(Championship Season)
Adrian Dantley’s 1988-89 Detroit Pistons Game-Worn Jersey
A Piece of Championship History
Step into the annals of basketball history with this extraordinary game-worn jersey from the legendary Adrian Dantley. A 2008 Hall of Fame inductee, Dantley was a pivotal figure in the Detroit Pistons’ triumphant 1988-89 NBA Championship season. This jersey is not just a garment; it is a testament to the grit and determination that defined the “Bad Boys” era of the Pistons.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Authenticity
The jersey features the MacGregor Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “42”, prominently displayed on the front left tail. Above it, an additional tag proudly reads, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for DETROIT PISTONS,” underscoring its unique provenance. Adjacent to the left, two strip tags indicate “2” LB” and “88”, while the right inseam bears a flag tag with “100% NYLON” and washing instructions.
On the upper left chest, the official “NBA” logo is elegantly embroidered, symbolizing the league’s endorsement of this iconic piece. Across the chest, the word “PISTONS” is emblazoned, with the player number “45” appearing both below and on the back, screen printed in red on white. The player name “DANTLEY” is applied with heat-pressed vinyl in white across the back.
