1989-90 Robert Parish Boston Celtics Game-Used Road Uniform with “Follow Through” Armband

Robert Parish’s Iconic Boston Celtics Uniform: A Piece of Basketball History

A Legendary Player

Robert Parish, affectionately known as “The Chief,” is a towering figure in the annals of NBA history. Voted as one of the NBA’s top 50 players of all time in 1996, Parish’s illustrious career was further immortalized with his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003. His contributions to the game, particularly during his tenure with the Boston Celtics, are celebrated by basketball aficionados worldwide.

The Uniform’s Distinctive Features

This remarkable uniform, worn by Parish during his time with the Celtics, is a testament to his enduring legacy. The left front tail of the jersey proudly displays the “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag, indicating a size “46”. Above this, the tag reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Boston Celtics”, underscoring the exclusivity of this piece. Adjacent to these are two strip tags marked “89” and “3”LB”.

Across the front of the jersey, the iconic “CELTICS” is emblazoned, with the player number “00” prominently featured on both the front and back. The name “PARISH” graces the back, all crafted in pristine white tackle twill. A poignant detail is the “Follow Through” black armband on the left shoulder strap, a tribute to the owner’s wife, who famously encouraged Kevin McHale to “Follow Through” on his free throws. Below this tribute lies the official NBA embroidered logo, a mark of authenticity and prestige.

Matching Shorts and Additional Details

The ensemble is completed with matching shorts, which bear the “Sand-Knit” tag inside the rear waistband, indicating a size “38”. The player number “00” is inscribed in black marker, accompanied by the “Exclusive” tag and two strip tags, “88” and “3”LI”.
