Penny Hardaway’s 1995 Game-Worn Warmup Suit: A Piece of NBA History
An Iconic Moment in Basketball
In the annals of NBA history, few players have captured the imagination of fans like Penny Hardaway. A four-time NBA All-Star, Hardaway’s unique blend of skill and charisma made him a standout talent during the 1990s. This particular warmup jacket, photo-matched by MeiGray, is a testament to his prowess on the court. It was worn during the warm-ups prior to the Orlando Magic’s thrilling 101-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors on November 20, 1995, at the Orlando Arena. On that memorable night, Hardaway delivered an impressive performance, recording 29 points, 4 assists, and 7 rebounds.
Details of the Warmup Suit
The warmup jacket is a remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia, featuring intricate details that highlight its authenticity and connection to the NBA. Inside the back of the neck, two Champion labels are present: one is the EXCLUSIVE 1993-94 label with Hardaway’s player number (1) handwritten in black marker, and the other indicates the size (48). The right breast is adorned with the NBA logo, while the left breast boasts the Orlando Magic logo patch. Across the back, “M*gic” is emblazoned in blue, black, and grey, capturing the essence of the team’s spirit.
- Champion Labels: Exclusive 1993-94 label with player number and size.
- Embroidered Details: NBA logo and Orlando Magic logo patch.

The accompanying pants are equally significant, featuring two Champion labels inside the back waistband: one is the EXCLUSIVE 1993-94 label with the player number (1) and the other with size (36), along with a wash tag attached.
