1989-90 – 1990-91 Clyde Drexler Portland Trailblazers Worn Warm-Up Jacket

Clyde Drexler’s Iconic Portland Trail Blazers Warm-Up Jacket

A Testament to Basketball Greatness

In the pantheon of basketball legends, few names resonate with the same reverence as Clyde “The Glide” Drexler. Voted to the NBA Top 50 All-Time team in 1996 and inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004, Drexler’s legacy is etched in the annals of the sport. Among the treasures that celebrate his illustrious career is the Portland Trail Blazers warm-up jacket, a piece of basketball memorabilia that embodies the spirit of a champion.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Historical Significance

This remarkable jacket is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the era. Inside the rear collar, the “MacGregor Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag proudly displays the jacket size “44”. Adjacent to it, the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Portland Trailblazers” tag, along with a blank white strip tag and two additional strip tags, “89” and “4”LB”, speak to its authenticity and exclusivity.

On the left chest, the team embroidered patch stands as a symbol of pride, while the right side features a large disc patch with “89-90 WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS” and the official NBA embroidered logo. This jacket was also worn in the 1990-91 season, with the disc patch added after the 1989-90 season, marking a period of triumph for the Trail Blazers.

Details That Define a Legacy

• Player Number: At the front right, the player number “22” is emblazoned in white tackle twill, a nod to Drexler’s iconic presence on the court.
• Team Pride: Across the back, “blazers” is displayed in white on black tackle twill, capturing the essence of team spirit and unity.
• Authenticity: The jacket is properly tagged, was presented to us as worn and in our opinion, shows wear, underscoring its genuine connection to Drexler’s storied career.
