Charles Barkley’s Iconic Philadelphia 76ers Game-Worn Uniform
A Legendary Career
Charles Barkley, affectionately known as “Sir Charles,” is celebrated as one of the most formidable power forwards in NBA history. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including eleven NBA All-Star Game appearances and the prestigious All-Star MVP award in 1991. In 1993, Barkley was honored as the league’s MVP, and during the NBA’s 50th anniversary, he was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. His legacy was further cemented with his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
The Philadelphia 76ers Uniform
This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Barkley’s enduring legacy. The uniform features the “Champion” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and jersey size “50” on the left front tail. Above it, the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Philadelphia 76ers” tag is prominently displayed. Adjacent to these tags are two strip tags with “90” and “2”LB”. Across the front, the iconic “SIXERS” is emblazoned, with the player number “34” appearing on both the front and back, all crafted in white on blue tackle twill. The player name “BARKLEY” graces the back in white tackle twill, and the official NBA embroidered logo adorns the left chest.
Matching Shorts and Provenance
The matching shorts are equally significant, featuring the “Champion” tag with size “42” inside the rear waistband. An “Exclusive” tag is adjacent, along with the player number “34” inscribed in black marker on a white strip tag. Three additional strip tags, “90”, “3”HR”, and “4” LI”, further authenticate this extraordinary piece.
