The official “NBA” embroidered logo graces the upper right shoulder, adding an element of authenticity and prestige. Across the back, the player name “KEMP” is emblazoned in yellow on white tackle twill, a striking contrast that highlights the jersey’s bold design.

The accompanying pants continue the theme of excellence. In the back waistband, the “CHAMPION” size 40 manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions is prominently displayed. Next to it, the “Designed & Tailored 94/95 Exclusively for Seattle Supersonics RISE +2 INSEAM 40” tag ensures the perfect fit.
