1989-90 Larry Bird Boston Celtics Player Worn Warm-Up Suit

Larry Bird’s Iconic Boston Celtics Warm-Up Suit

A Testament to Basketball Greatness

In the pantheon of basketball legends, few names resonate as profoundly as Larry Bird. Known as “Larry Legend,” Bird was the driving force behind the Boston Celtics’ dominance in the 1980s, leading the team to three World Championships. His prowess on the court earned him the NBA Finals MVP title in 1984 and 1986, and he was the NBA MVP for three consecutive seasons from 1984 through 1986. This warm-up suit, associated with such an illustrious career, is a remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia.

Details of the Warm-Up Suit

The warm-up suit is a striking representation of the Boston Celtics’ iconic colors and design. Inside the rear collar of the jacket is the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag with size “46”. Adjacent to it is the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Boston Celtics” tag, which is partially detached. Two additional strip tags, “89” and a blank tag, are also present. The front proudly displays “CELTICS” painted in green and yellow, while the right chest features the official NBA embroidered logo. Each sleeve is adorned with the team “Shamrock” logo painted in green on yellow. Across the back, the player name “BIRD” is emblazoned in white tackle twill on a green embroidered nameplate.

The Matching Pants

Complementing the jacket, the matching pants carry the same attention to detail. Inside the rear waistband is the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag with size “34”, alongside the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Boston Celtics” tag. Three additional embroidered strip tags, “36” IN”, “89”, and the player number “33” written in black marker, add to the authenticity. The upper right thigh features the player number “33” in green tackle twill and the official NBA embroidered logo.
