Michael Jordan’s 1989-90 Game-Worn Jersey and Shorts: A Legendary Artifact
An Iconic Piece of Basketball History
Michael Jordan, often hailed as the greatest basketball player of all time, boasts a career filled with unparalleled achievements. His accolades include being a six-time NBA Champion, six-time NBA Finals MVP, and a five-time regular season MVP. In the 1989-90 season, Jordan secured one of his ten scoring titles, averaging an astounding 33.6 points per game. This remarkable season is immortalized in the game-worn jersey and shorts now available for auction.
Details of the Jersey
The front left tail of the jersey features the MacGregor Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “44”. Above it, the tag reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for CHICAGO BULLS”, with additional box tags indicating the year “89” and “2” LB” embroidered in black. The right inseam carries a flag tag detailing the jersey materials and washing instructions. Across the front, “BULLS” is painted in red on black, with the iconic number “23” appearing on both the front and back in red on black vinyl. The player name “JORDAN” graces the back in red vinyl lettering, and the official NBA embroidered logo adorns the upper left chest. Jordan’s signature, in black marker, is inscribed inside the player number on the back, rating a near 9 in our opinion.
Details of the Shorts
Inside the rear waistband of the shorts is the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “38”. Adjacent are five tags, including “2” HR”, “2” LI”, and a blank tag with the player number “23” handwritten in black. A box tag reading “89” and another with “23” embroidered in black are also present. These shorts, tinged pink from multiple washings, are believed to be the initial pair ordered for the season. Jordan’s signature on the front of the shorts, rated a strong 8, is accompanied by an Upper Deck hologram serial number “SHO26620”.
