1988-89 Walter Davis Denver Nuggets Game-Used & Twice-Autographed Road Uniform

Denver Nuggets Game-Worn Jersey and Shorts: A Tribute to Basketball Excellence

Unveiling a Piece of NBA History

Step into the world of basketball legends with this remarkable Denver Nuggets game-worn jersey and shorts, a testament to the prowess and legacy of the sport. This extraordinary ensemble, adorned with the iconic number “6” and the name “DAVIS,” captures the essence of a bygone era in the NBA. The jersey and shorts are not just garments; they are relics of a time when the game was played with unparalleled passion and skill.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design

The front left tail of the jersey proudly displays the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag, indicating a size “46.” Above it, another “Sand-Knit” tag reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the DENVER NUGGETS,” underscoring the exclusivity of this piece. A white strip tag with “2” LB” embroidered in black further authenticates its origin. The right inseam features the “100% POLYESTER” tag with wash instructions, ensuring the garment’s longevity.

The jersey’s front is emblazoned with “NUGGETS” across the chest, while the player number “6” is prominently displayed both on the front and back. These elements are crafted in white tackle twill with a blue embroidered outline on gold tackle twill, creating a striking visual contrast. The player name “DAVIS” graces the back in gold tackle twill on a blue mesh nameplate, adding a touch of elegance to this historic piece.

A Signature of Excellence

Davis has immortalized this jersey with his signature on the back, accompanied by the inscription “Sweet D.” In our expert opinion, the signature rates a strong 9, enhancing the jersey’s allure and value. The shorts, equally impressive, feature the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag with size “36” and the player number “6” inscribed in black marker. The year “88” is embroidered on a white strip tag, marking its vintage authenticity.

The shorts’ design mirrors the jersey’s excellence, with the official “NBA” logo embroidered on the front left leg and “Denver” in white tackle twill on the right front leg. Davis has also signed the rear waistband, with the inscription “Sweet D,” and in our opinion, the signature rates a 7.

• Provenance: Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and an additional LOA grading the shirt an A8.
