This 1988 Pittsburgh Pirates uniform, presented to us as game-used, is a testament to his remarkable legacy and the era he dominated.

Details of the Uniform

The uniform is a striking representation of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ classic style. Inside the front left tail of the grey knit jersey, you’ll find the Rawlings / MLB size 42 label, accompanied by a flag tag indicating “SET 1 1988.” The team name “PIRATES” is emblazoned across the chest, with Bonds’ player number “24” prominently displayed below and on the back. His name, “BONDS,” is elegantly stitched on a grey nameplate across the back, all in black on gold tackle twill. The iconic PIRATES logo patch adorns the left sleeve, adding a touch of authenticity and nostalgia.
