Michael Jordan’s 1989-90 Game-Worn Jersey and Shorts: A Legendary Artifact
A Testament to Greatness
Michael Jordan, often hailed as the greatest basketball player of all time, boasts an illustrious career filled with numerous accolades. His achievements include being a six-time NBA Champion, six-time NBA Finals MVP, and a five-time regular season MVP. Jordan’s dominance on the court is further highlighted by his ten-time All-NBA First Team selections, nine-time NBA All-Defensive First Team honors, and ten-time NBA scoring champion titles. In 1989-90, Jordan clinched one of his scoring titles with an impressive average of 33.6 points per game. His legacy was cemented with his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009 and his inclusion in the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team.
The Iconic Jersey
This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Jordan’s unparalleled career. The jersey features the MacGregor Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag size “44” on the front left tail. Adjacent to it is the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for CHICAGO BULLS” tag, along with two box tags reading the year “89” and “2” LB” embroidered in black. The right inseam bears a flag tag with jersey materials and washing instructions.
Across the front, the word “BULLS” is painted in red on black, while the iconic player number “23” appears on both the front and back in red on black vinyl numbering. The player name “JORDAN” is emblazoned across the back in red vinyl lettering. The upper left chest proudly displays the official NBA embroidered logo. Jordan’s signature graces the back of the jersey inside the player number, executed in black marker and rated a near 9 in our opinion.
The Legendary Shorts
The shorts, equally significant, feature the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag size “38” inside the rear waistband. Accompanying it are five tags reading, “2” HR”, “2” LI”, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for CHICAGO BULLS”, a blank tag with the player number “23” handwritten in black, and a box tag reading “89”. Below is a box tag with the player number “23” embroidered in black, indicating these were likely the initial shorts ordered for the season.
