Clyde Drexler’s Portland Trail Blazers Shooting Shirt: A Piece of Basketball History

An Iconic Player and His Legacy

Clyde “The Glide” Drexler stands as one of the most revered guards in the annals of basketball history. Known for his high-flying, seemingly effortless swoops to the basket, Drexler’s prowess on the court earned him a place among the game’s all-time greats. As a perennial All-Star and a key member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team, Drexler twice led the Portland Trail Blazers to the NBA Finals, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

The Shooting Shirt: A Testament to Excellence

This remarkable shooting shirt is a testament to Drexler’s illustrious career. On the inside back collar, it features the “SAND-KNIT” manufacturer’s tag, proudly displaying the size “44.” Adjacent to this is the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Portland Trail Blazers” tag, accompanied by the “89” year tag, and an additional blank tag below. Across the front, “BLAZERS” is emblazoned in red on white tackle twill, while the right breast bears the official “NBA” embroidered logo. The back of the shirt showcases the player name “DREXLER” in white tackle twill, a symbol of his enduring legacy.
