Charles Barkley’s 1990 Philadelphia 76ers Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of NBA History
A Legendary Player and His Legacy
Charles Barkley, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice: in 2006 for his individual career and again in 2010 as a member of the iconic 1992 USA men’s basketball Olympic “Dream Team”. Recognized as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, Barkley’s impact on the sport is indelible. His prowess on the court is immortalized in this remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia, a game-worn jersey from his time with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This jersey has been photo-matched to an undated image from a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, showcasing its authenticity and historical significance. The front left tail features the Champion manufacturer’s tag, size “50”, complete with washing instructions. Adjacent to this is a box tag reading “2” LB”, and above it, a tag that proudly states “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for PHILADELPHIA 76ERS”. An additional box tag marks the year “90”. Across the chest, the word “SIXERS” is emblazoned, with the player number “34” prominently displayed below and on the back, all crafted in white on blue tackle twill. The player name “BARKLEY” graces the back in white tackle twill, while the official “NBA” logo is embroidered on the upper left chest.
