David Robinson’s 1989-90 Game-Worn Jersey: A Tribute to “The Admiral”
A Legendary Career in Basketball
David Robinson, affectionately known as “The Admiral,” is a towering figure in the annals of basketball history. A 10-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Team selection, and two-time NBA Champion, Robinson’s illustrious career was crowned with his induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. His remarkable journey began with a stellar rookie season in 1989-90, where he was named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year, setting the stage for a legacy of excellence.
The Iconic Jersey
This extraordinary piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Robinson’s early days with the San Antonio Spurs. The jersey features the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “46,” and the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the SAN ANTONIO SPURS” tag. The year “89” and “2” LB” are embroidered, marking its authenticity. The official “NBA” logo is proudly embroidered on the upper left chest, while “SPURS” is emblazoned across the front, with the “U” cleverly designed as a “Spurs” logo in white on black on grey tackle twill.
Distinctive Features
- Player Number: The number “50” is prominently displayed on both the front and back in white on grey tackle twill.
- Player Name: “ROBINSON” is elegantly stitched across the back in white tackle twill.
- Signature and Inscription: Robinson’s signature graces the front of the jersey in black marker, accompanied by the inscription “’89 Rookie Of The Year!” and “HEB 13:5,” rated a 9 in our opinion.
Matching Shorts and Provenance
Accompanying the jersey are the matching Sand-Knit shorts, size “36,” featuring the same exclusive design tag inside the rear waistband. The shorts include embroidered strip tags reading “1 1-2″ HR,” “1” LI,” and “89,” with a strip tag bearing the handwritten player number “50.” This uniform, sourced from the equipment manager, was presented to us as game-used and shows excellent use, further authenticated by a MEARS LOA grading the jersey a perfect A10, a LOA from the equipment manager’s family, and an ALOA from JSA.
